Brilliant… this also explains why only in the last five or six years there is much promotion of Gandhi brand happening in Singapore. People know the role of INA and Bose and that needs no promotion at all.

The new “Global Indians” are responsible for promoting to the world the culture and bathos of post-British “free” India, within which a large part is the sycophancy, lip service to ideals, rather base materialism and corruption. I wish these upwardly mobile Indians would pay better attention to historical facts !

Great research !

Anaswer to the points – a) simplification and b) sensationalisation by history

1. why? Gandhi ->Nehru->Indira-> Rajeev->Sonia->Rahul-> …. ONLY leaders of India…is it not Over-simplification in history books..check the CBSE books in class 3rd, Sonia Gandhi is described as an icon

2. why do you think it as sensationalisation? cannot digest the actual facts? its decades of propaganda that has made even simple facts as sensational for the brain-washed lots.

What a Whole Lot of Crap! The analysis and interpretation is the very result of a person educated in the incredibly warped school and college system that is prevalent in India, today. Understanding History is a process of interpretation subject to availability of evidence. Thus as more evidence is brought to light or newer methods (technological, social or otherwise) are brought to bear on the available information, the canvas of History, a complex interplay of forces, reveals itself bit by bit.
Unlike the sciences or technology, History has no fixed textbook. Every moment, every scholar at every university across the globe adds his bit to the greater understanding of History. Thus studying history is a continous process and what every scholar needs to guard against is a) simplification and b) sensationalisation of interpretation and analysis of the information available.
The author may send me a reply for further discussion, if need be.

Thanks teamfolk.. Is there any solid evidence to facts mentioned in this article? While some times, we have to rely on personal hearsays, it would be better, if we could provide any relative evidences for the historic facts we are mentioning..

Pls refer to the following blog comment for more details ..

While I understand that truth has to be told and record of history has to be maintained in an impartial way as it had happened, would it not be counter-productive to our longheld belief that the partition took place ’cause Muslims can’t live with Hindus?

No question that Netaji played an immense role in the British decision to leave India in a hurry.

But why should one defer to ‘Atlee’s’ dismissal of Gandhiji. Still relying on the British to assess our leaders ?

The Fall of Singapore ended white supremacy, in this case British. Not sure if a Japanese invasion would have been any better.

They came as far as the Vizag harbour.

Certainly, our Indian troops were A+. No need to pull down Gandhiji either. Both were necessary.

Would like to refer the reader to our present situation. There is a very important article by Bharat Verma in Indian Defence Review: ‘Strategy for Incremental Influence in Asia’ (October,2009; reprint).

Dr. Rajaram himself. We don’t have the capability or competence to write such a scholarly article.
