My journey to understand Indian History - intellectuals

Recently number of historians born with newer outlook for Indian history. I think Arun Shourie try to write some corrections to Nehruvian history and maybe he was a minority then. However now it looks like newer genre are coming up with more resilience and young people are out of influences of Gandhi and Nehru notion. Also, this new generation ready to change the perception and admissible to newer thoughts with authentication. Also, the abandons of authentications around due to access to information. My dad always thought that British brought prosperity to India. According to him British should have ruled India for another 3decades at least. Also, he thought British brought railway, bank, post office to improve Indian civilization. He lived much of his life in congress rule and he thought it will never change. His assumption was Corruption and dishonesty engraved in Indian culture at least British would have removed it to some extent. His belief was British brought civilization to India and he thought they could have tried to rebuild India like Briton. I won’t blame him for his beliefs. Because of two factors one he born and lived most of his life in British and congress India and two he never studied that much to do his research’s, as he was busy in looking at how to provide his family fir the day and how to come out of grueling poverty throughout his life. Since i came out of India I found another factor that he never traveled outside India so he could not comprehend India in the free environment without censorship and he believed whatever he was told. I think after 2014 he felt that there is meaning for independence and hope for Bharath. Though my relationship with him never gave me a chance to discuss these things with him still I could see change in his outlook by listening to his conversation with other people. Himalayan Blunder by John Dalvi was the first book I read made me to start look at history of India with different perspective. I was told my someone in India about this book however it was one of the banned books in India and got hold of a copy in the UK. Later when ban was lifted Ravi Belageri a noted journalist from Karnataka translated to Kannada and i brought a copy of that as well. Further stared reading Dr. Subramaniyan Swamy and he started making sense. I read Hindus Under Siege: The Way Out, though didn’t accept everything still made some sense. Mean time listening to Tarek Fatah and reading his books and some readings about Caliphate started making me to think about India’s history more and more. Also it made sense when read recently "THE MOPLAH REBELLION, 1921" BY Dlwan Bah and C. Gopalan Nair. Rajeev Malhotras books gave a newer outlook for modern history of India and where we stand in a global stage. Arun Shourie has my due credit for making me to look at Indian history with different perspective from Mughals brought literature and architecture to India, British brought culture and technology to India and unified India under the name, Gandhi's "Ahinsa" brought freedom from British, Nehru’s rule brought prosperity. But Mr. Shourie's "Eminent Historians" started shaking my believes and made me to start digging in to history of India. Living in the UK gave me access to materials which may not be available in India before the information revolution like internet and publication censored in India. Strangely another speaker impressed me and influenced me to read history is Tarek Fatah. I don’t recollect exactly when I started watching him and I know that I started reading him after the Subramaniyan Samys book. These above authors and speakers made me curious about real history. Specially Arun Shouries books made me to think seriously about the necessity of every Indian to know the real history. As i started this journey the myths of Mughals and British started busting. Also started getting the first-hand experience of how British use people to get to their end met and leave the mean to deal with consequences. My friends back in India started feeling I am becoming intolerant! That is the buzz word I try to explore Intolerant Indian!!! India is intolerant is another propaganda created and spread by west and so-called intellectuals of India. These so-called intellectuals see pride in demeaning India all the time. They live in a bubble of their own imaginary world where they hallucinated by all are stupids around them and they only have the heavenly foresight which gives them a clear picture of the future based on todays incidents. They are so delusional they don't even think before open their mouth and they are disorientated that they don't know when they speak, each word come out of their mind is mortifying the country! And western countries hell bent on degrading India get amused by their idiocy and applaud them for their abhor towards their own people! These so-called intellectuals are so silly and they think whole world around them so dumb that when people around them laugh, they think they are appreciating their intelligence! When whole world not even open the eye for civilization, in India people-built universities, when India had well established acritarches people in the west still may be living in the caves! When people were tortured and killed for talking against beliefs of church, quran, in India religious people celebrated "Nirishvara vada”!. When the Abrahamic religions punishing people by killing them for their questioning the religious authorities, in India social reformers came into existence time and time and their reforms did much to ameliorate living standards. There are number of religions originated from Sanathana Dharma and no one prosecuted Charvaka, Gautham Budha, Mahaveera. Reformers like Madwacharya of south India did not accepted people like Manu and said he was a man had fall of with his wife while writing the Manu smruthi! Though west and intellectuals keep screaming that Indian society strongly built on the basis of Manu Smruthi, I never heard anyone in south India considering it as an important basis for day to days life. When the world still struggling without a language of communication, we had one of the most advanced language and literature called Samskritha and Vedas! so called intellectuals still could not comprehend the what was told in Vedas and could not understand the etymological complexities of Samskritha language. Have they used so called intelligent brain on understanding what was told in Vedas rather blatantly criticizing them and their beliefs they would have become real intellectuals! When the west fighting for monopoly of Christianity by the name of crusaders, when Muslims killed their own people for caliphate, in India we welcomed Muslims, embraced Christianity, built communities for world over prosecuted Jewish people, polish people escaped the injustice and found home in India. Persians found a second home in medieval period to escape from Muslim atrocities. However, the so-called intellectuals found Indian Hindus intolerant!!!!! I strongly condemn the so-called Wikipedia intellectuals. Recently they lost the stage in India and they started traveling regularly outside of India and breaking India forces are their audiences. It’s unfortunate that with this history west teaching India the tolerance and so-called Indian intellectuals are the devil’s advocates. Recently a friend of my had a conversation with me on my views and he deiced I am intolerant and divisive and try to brush me off. I engaged him and he said where is the end and what are my expectations? Do we need to send all other religion people out of India? My answer is “No” they are as Indians as I am, may be more. Only thing is all should accept as Indians first before what is their religion. Also, we need role models like Abdul Kalam, Abdul Hamid, and accept the Indian democratic system. CONTINUES…………
