In an interview to talk about his new book ‘Rebels Against the Raj: Western Fighters for India’s Freedom’, Ramachandra Guha explains that the seven British and American people he has chosen to write about are “seven remarkable characters”, who led “unusual, interesting, eccentric and exciting lives”. He said they were “individuals of great courage, even recklessness”. They “embraced a country not their own and fought for its freedom”. Each of them spent time in jail fighting for India’s independence.

Ramachandra Guha is a good person and great personality who protested against the anti Indian anti constitutional CAA bill, alone in front of the townhall at Bangalore. Hats off to him for his book and equally great thoughts 👏 👍 👌.

Congress kept India united even while the world power like USSR was falling apart. Modi is more interested on power than keeping India united. He came with promises of economic transformation but hardly talk about real issues these days.

Bravo Ram Guha for this inquiry and publication. The Goodbookreads has several reviews, rather laudatory. Karan this book makes for a fasciation subject for a talk. Taking a leaf from the xenophobic narrative of the lip syncers of saffron clad purveyors of the magical properties of bovine excrement, perhaps the culture of 'not make in India' is what precludes recognition and acknowledgement of these seven.. Surely there were a lot more, but Ram has chosen the seven for, perhaps availability of research information. Perhaps it should become a part of the curriculum in our history books.

Sri Ramachandra Guha is a model historian in d present day . He teaches Indian historians how to look into history & what to highlights. Patriotism should not be like landmafiya's or narrow minded cultural Patriotism. History cross d borders of national pride or ideological mismerisism.

At 4:41 Mr Guhas says this 'hyper nationalist rant' is common to many great countries of the world. Russia, Hungary, Turkey!! Completely agree - we'll drop 'nationalism' once we also become 'great country' with massive impact on the world. 😀 You cannot 'cross the bridge' BEFORE you 'arrive at it'.

Despite all books of whom memory those 54 Afghan Soldiers who sacrificed their lives at the alter of this country fighting along Manikarnika, Maharani Laxmibai at Safai Fort Gwalior, if ever etch on. Ask the soul of Shivaji maharaj about Rustsm-e-jahan who had saved his life against Afzal Khan and Navi Admiral. And Sadashiv rao Peshwa lll about Commander, Ibrahim Gardi when all the Samantha fled deceived and conspired. ALL THOSE AND MANY MORE OTHER THAN THOSE 54,RESTING UPON PIECE BURRIED AT NOWGAJA ROAD GWALIOR REMAINED DEPRIVED OF A SINGLE LINE TO BE PENNED TO GO DOWN THE HISTORY. PITY THE NATION! True. Great things are ridiculed, condemned, combated and suppressed! Hopefully the greatest thrill of creativity will come up one day.!

@Vijay Manjrekar no evidence to support this theory, on the contrary hindu is a new notion to gain politics majority.
@scholarpradeep
@scholarpradeep 2 года назад
​@Vijay Manjrekar first of all, i wana tell you that sc, st have been the beneficiaries of reservation policy, and whatever the economic betterment is visible is just because of the reservation policy, and yes bhramins made the caste system so they are directly responsible for the plight of dalits because social rights of an individual in india decides the economic right of the same. And third thing is that dalit leaders are not vocal not due to the intention not to raise the voice against any bad with dalits but due to the they don't have political independence they live in a dependent freedom where bhramin ideological parties begin to stop supporting because dalit leaders are ambedkarites, and the fourth thing is that gandhi and congress didnt do anything good to dalits formaly untouchables. whatever good happened to dalits just because of ambedkarism. and the fifth and last thing i wana tell you that kovind and many of like him which are just stooges of bhramins and have been staunch spporter of hindu or we can say bhramin ideology. so we can easily understand this phenomenon, dalits are getting space in mainstream politics, why upper caste academicians don't give a shit about abolishing the political reservation of dalits, and myself also dont support the political reservation of dalits in this country, because we are minorites so separate ecletorate is a solution.
@scholarpradeep
@scholarpradeep 2 года назад
@Vijay Manjrekar dalit leaders are ambedkarites, and dalit leaders didn't become rich by sucking the blood of Dalits. You are blaming dalit ambedkarite leaders for poverty among the Dalits and adivasies but this not the case, the problem is growth has been unequal after independence, disinvestment was started during 60s to undermine the reservation policy, so this is a case of crony capitalism but if see this in Indian context this is the case of casteist capitalism where all the millionaires belong to the hindu upper caste. On the hand we can see that hindu upper caste enjoying the privileges on the cost of others, and dalit and adivasies are just two communities out of that rest of the peple and with Dalits one another variable is also there which is caste, so we need to correct the growth which has been unequal since independence, see what is the representation of upper caste Hindus in every sector, national resources, informal sector everywhere they are overrepresented not according to proportional of their population, despite the reservation policy what is the representation of sc,st,OBC?? Why you are Targeting muslims let me tell you mr. According to the so many studies muslims have similar type of economic condition, and muslims are historically sc,st,obc's just because of social ostracism they began to look at other religion for better life setups in a healthy social environment. Are you unaware of that?? Are you coming from Mars or Pluto you don't know anything about the prolems of these communities??

Regarding the recent post by Mr Guha in TIME regarding the westerners role in Indian independence. He intelligently wrote the piece but he cleverly brought his crooked side in regarding sh Modi s hinduistic side.Mr Guha must understand that Mr Modi is honest not like his sister Mamatadi who has turned W.B.into a Islamic caliphate.what about the communists of W B.who during their regime. Practised pseudo Hinduism celebrating Durga Puja with full fervour for ten days and talking of Marxism and Leninism from the eleventh day.what has he to say about late Nirad chaudhri the bong joker who tried to prove he was more British walking on the streets of London wearing Victorian Hat while wearing Bong Dhoti in his house.The world knows Mr Modi stature.

Ramchander being a Hindu radicals won't ever appreciate that it was a Sikh Maharaja who was undefeated sovereign ruler when the British ruled India and the world. For 50 years the British Empire with hindu & Imperial army didn't muster courage to attack Sarkar e Khalsa Maharaja Ranjit Singh ji of Lahore Punjab. Post the Anglo Sikh wars and Dogra treachery its were Sikhs who formed 80% of those who struggled for independence from British. Ramchander's father was a loyal slave of British thugs when Punjab suffered the jallianwala baag massacre.
