Nehru vs. Patel: The modern Indian history rivalry you need to know about
Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, its first deputy prime minister were two towering figures of India’s anti-colonial freedom movement. Both were Mahatma Gandhi’s closest associates and wielded enormous influence within the Congress Party.

When Secular Nehru Opposed Restoration Of Somnath Temple - The Somnath Temple treachery
History, it is said, is written by the victor. What is to be inferred, is that history is written by the loyalists of the victor. By court jesters and poets who write ballads in praise of the emperor. Unfortunately, our politicians and their voguish history is no better.

Winston Churchill's hate for Indians caused millions of deaths: A villainous supremacist
Within his homeland, Winston Churchill’s colossal contribution to saving his people from Hitler eclipses all else, and he is widely regarded as the greatest Briton of all time. But, could a man applauded for his courage in standing up to Adolf Hitler have had such contempt for another race that he did not change policies that led to starvation and death of at least three million?

Chapekar Brothers who Avenged Pune's Dignity by slaying British Commissioner on June 22, 1897
The road to India's independence was horribly a tough one; every stride you make is an adventure. It was not that India got her freedom without blood-shed and violence. Though Gandhiji chose non-violence and civil disobedience as a means to free the fetters on India, it did not yield the desired results as we all know.

Comparing Holi with terrorism and reducing Navratri to ‘mating dance’ — how the Indian media has turned Hinduphobic
Secularism seems to require separation between religion and State. Regarding India, itwould be better to speak of ‘equidistance’ between State and religious denominations. Nonetheless a ‘balanced treatment’ towards the religions leaves the question open as to what form that equidistance should take. This is the reason of some contradictions in today’s Indian social and political life. It is likely that without the Moghul and British domination Hinduism would not have acquired a militant identity. It was the ‘epiphany’ of well-armed, powerful ‘Others’ (Muslim, Christian or secular) which gen...

'Direct Action Day' - The day - 16th August - was chosen deliberately with utmost care to provoke Islamist sentiments.

Chipko Andolan: Cut me down before you cut them down
Today while running through deep searches for some specific content regarding Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi I came across mention of this author Ramchandra Guha. So, when Amazon was showing books written by him, there was this one book which caught my attention immediately "Chipko Movement".

‘The basis of the obligation of jihad is the universality of the Muslim revelation. God’s words and God’s message is for all mankind; it is the duty of those who have accepted them to strive (jihada) unceasingly to convert or at least subjugate those who have not. This obligation is without limit of time or space. It must continue until the whole world has either accepted the Islamic faith or submitted to the power of the Islamic state.’ [Bernard Lewis, The Political Language of Islam]
