    An EXCELLENT speech - SO VERY WELL ARTICULATED with supporting FACTS & EVIDENCE. I completely agree with Mr. Guha that we Indians have NEVER UNDERSTOOD the PAIN that our Visionary Forefathers suffered, so we enjoy a FREEDOM that we take for GRANTED !!!! I LOVED his reference to C. Rajagoplachari as well - he was UNDOUBTEDLY a TRUE BLUE Indian who translated the Ramayana and Mahabharata into SIMPLE READABLE English and I have copy. IF ONLY we Indians could RALLY together and embrace our DIVERSITY - we could bring back the LOST Glory of a 5000-year-old civilization. Thank you Mr. Guha for your PASSION

    India did not start in 1947, as Guha and other Gandhians state. India was there, before East India Company came to India. East India Company was named in 1600, before they came to India. All western neighbours call us Hindustan, although we call ourselves Bharat. There was Bharat, since the times of Ramayana and Mahabharata. We start all our prayers with Jambu Dweep and Bharata Khand.

    This talk of Prof. Ramachandra Guha is very enlightening and throws a lot of new insights into the lives and work of our great stalwarts of India's freedom struggle. It is to the credit of fearless and passionate leaders of our freedom movement that India was freed from the shackles of colonial rule. It is India's fortune that an erudite scholar, writer and thinker like Nehru ji became the Prime Minister of independent India. His Tryst With Destiny speech made in the wee hours of 15th August 1947 in the Constituent Assembly is a living testimony to the vision of a nascent nation. They were all great men and women, who fought relentlessly for the independence of the country. It was a colossal task to lay down the foundation for a nascent nation. Nehru was a statesman politician and was much respected and admired across the world. His policies have stood the test of times. However, it is painful to see that there is an orchastrared and malicious move in the country now to defame him. Nehruji was a democrat, who showed utmost respect to his political opponents. The present generation has to learn a lot from his life and work. Kind Regards.

But I am a English literature connoisseur too, & because there were novels of Indians writers in English I chose them.Now hearing Dr. Guha lecturing so eloquently on these makers of Modern India, I feel I have read the bulky book, because he has succinctly gone through the want he has written. This Oratorial power of Dr. Guha is praiseworthy. I am pleased that I saw this video because I hadn't known of Ashoka University for so long until the 2020 controversy.

The pursuit of equality and equanimity should not be set aside by the feudalistic political parties. Lot of ideological responsibilities lie on the statesmen today! The silly contenders for MLA seats today can not even know what is enormously alerted in this speach. Lot of regards for speaker! Thanks for the upload!

    he noted in a different talk that Ambedkar was very strongly insistent on the dalit cause, which Gandhi originally didn't know equally well, as he was an upper caste hindu himself. but with perpetual communication and disagreements with Ambedkar, who was 20 years his junior, Gandhi came to uphold dalit welfare, even in his own ashram. Ambedkar was an angry young man basically, and guha notes that overall he influenced Gandhi more than Gandhi did him.

    Fascinating talk. Thank you, Ram Guha., for making us see how the six you talk about are responsible for our belief in India as one country. Culturally diverse we are, but that belief is too deep rooted in too many of us now. It is hard for any goons with a lust for power and money to uproot. (This greed for power and money is why, although the Swiss have disclosed the list of individuals who have cash stolen from the country and stashed away in their private Swiss accounts to the parties in power, the list still hasn't been disclosed to the people.) The sad thing is, while they carry out their systemic loot, political parties create distractions. One political party has created this dangerous distraction of one race, and only one, to benefit from the spoils of India's progress. It is impossible to make good on that promise. Nobody thinks of asking them their exact plan, but it keeps many Indians fired up and busy and loyal to them. Surely these Indians see that India has progressed because of the input of all her people irrespective of race.

    Alok Biswas , the composite bill in original was not passed by the parliament. Nehru’s opinion was to break it up in 4 parts, to which Babasaheb did not agree, earlier he was frustrated by widespread opposition to his bill by fundamental Hindu organisations, so hr resigned but remained an MP of Rajya Sabha. Then the bill was divided into 4 parts, which was passed by parliament.

    History is written by winners. In the era of 1910-1920's Britishers captured , sentenced most armed revolutionaries and their supporters . But they were miserably failing in that because lot many started joining armed struggle. That is when Britishers brings a man now known as MK Gandhi from South Africa in 1915 who doesn't approve armed struggle . As soon as he comes to India they provide him curated platform and portrays him as leader of masses allows all his movement public speeches. In just 15 years most revolution is succumbed to this well hatched plan. All the revolutionaries like Bose, Savarakar etc were kept out of history Mr Guha like historians are encouraged to emphasize the history which was written by then winners aka seculars /MK Gandhi/ Britishers

    Somewhere the very essence of what India was and stood for throughout history - her intrinsic and perennial quest for freedom have been relegated to the bottom of the heap of the modern day discourses. Individuals have been elevated to sometimes unnatural positions of prominence at the cost of her masses and her uniquely emancipating cultural and religious ethos. Entertaining talk but limited in content and context.
