Kangana again courts controversies but some of her questions worth debating !

 “... nationalism rose so did right wing... but why it died a sudden death? And why Gandhi let Bhagat Singh die... why Netaji Bose was killed and never got Gandhi ji’s support? why line of partition was drawn by a white man... ?instead of celebrating freedom why Indians killed each other some of the answers I am seeking please help me find answers (sic),” Kangana Ranaut says.

Well any Indian could have asked this question, and the demand for a debate on these matters and related issues should be considered normal.

Sickularism could be sticking to the point why days after receiving Padmashri award, she should have said that the freedom in 1947 came as a 'bheek', alms something given in charity.

Well, 1947 represents a harsh reality. India attained 'political liberation' but there was a spin. The historical spin - a fixed ideology and political concept and a dynasty/leadership was imposed on India.

Some steps and chronology appear well charted conspiracy to make one particular set of leaders and one or two leaders - the guiding force. And India made tryst with blunders in Kashmir and in many other areas including China front. 1962 was the ultimate shocker from a paragon of virtues - who for long could not be criticized, at least according to Sickulars.

But in every stage - a deliberate plot or strategy was ensured to ensure the political interest of a particular family is safe guarded and promoted.    

Even the supposedly an authentic book - also written in a lucid style - 'Freedom at Midnight' (first published in 1975) penned by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre - in effect smacks of concerted efforts to glorify the role of Mountbatten and the British Raj.

Lapierre's autographed book 'Freedom at Midnight'

I had met Lapierre in January 2009 in Delhi; and when some of us asked him to respond to criticism that the book almost glorified the colonial masters, he did not deny!

Among other things, she says, the British had looted India to the “point of saturation”.

She also says - even a “small fight by the INA” would have got us freedom and Subhash Chandra Bose could have been prime minister.

“Why freedom was placed in the begging bowl of congress when right wing was prepared to fight and take it... Can someone please help me understand (sic),” she wrote.

“As far as Aazadi in 2014 concerned I specifically said physical Aazadi we may have but consciousness and conscience of India was set free in 2014... a dead civilisation came alive and fluttered its wings and now roaring and soaring high...”  

Like many political stars and others, Kangana has a set of 'enemies' - perhaps more because she took on some established 'sacred cows' in Bollywood head on. 

- The joker class - fed, nurtured and well promoted by nepotism. Select amnesia could be virtue with some 'politically correct class' and their so called intellectual journos and TV anchors. 

The essential problem is with this class is 'psychological'. They seemed to have lost balance - the 'balance' of reasoning! 

Why?

One reason is right from 2002 - they thought the punching bag they had created in Gujarat would not make much headway. Sadly, Namo became PM of India and notwithstanding the playing of desi and videshi 'jhun-jjhuna' of mob lynching, etc etc - Modi has returned to power in 2019. So they do not know what to do with their 'wisdom'!

Look at the other side. They decided - so called 'Kerala model' has been successful in fighting Covid, so it ought to be hailed !

They decided - UPA-1 was virtuous, so it ought to be agreed. In Chennai, there is an 'intellectual' - who should carry Red Flag shamelessly.

The intellectual and his 'paper' did not mind putting brave Air Force fighter-pilot Abhinandan's life at risk. The paper once hailed Indo-US Nuke deal, and then made a somersault that even Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci could not. 

For them, pappu-dynasty and Bengal's appa - both suit; as long as their 'power broker' role is tolerated and encouraged. 

2o14 certainly marks a break !! It may not be 'freedom'; but it certainly marked beginning of an end.

The end of some dukan-dari -- shopkeeping!

Nehru's vanquished rivals - Bose and Jinnah

another version

New Delhi:

“... nationalism rose so did right wing... but why it died a sudden death? ....
Why line of partition was drawn by a white man... ? Instead of celebrating freedom why Indians killed each other some of the answers I am seeking please help me find answers (sic),” actress Kangana Ranaut said in her Instagram posting.

Well any Indian could have asked these questions, and the demand for a debate on these related issues 

should be considered normal. But Kangana has some established 'enemies'.

She had taken on some political class and also 'sacred cows' - fed and nurtured by the nepotism cult

of Bollywood. Hence there is 'extra weight' in the controversies!

True, a flamboyant actress-turned-social media activist Kangana Ranaut again courted controversies

by her 'freedom' and 2014 timeline remarks; but some of her questions are really worth debating.

By focusing on Jawahar Nehru's brighter spots and virtues - including knowledge of English, good rapport with Britons like Lord Mountbatten to Sir Stafford Cripps and later his role in stewarding free India, scholars have only judged him softly with kid gloves; and did it deliberately.

The Mountbatten-Nehru machinations was so well calculated that while in several quarters, 

Muhammad Ali Jinnah has gone down as a mere 'stooge' in the hands of British

policy of 'divide and rule'; the Congress 'emerges' as the sole representative of Indians.

Thus the Congress seemed to be fighting not just for an independent India, it was purely fighting 

for one under single party domination of the Congress.

The ulterior electoral motive remained foremost even after independence as despite Mahatma Gandhi's 

suggestion, the Indian National Congress was never disbanded. This is where comes the significance of

'2014' and beyond as Prime Minister Narendra Modi also gave a call for Congress-mukt Bharat.

With regard to Netaji Subash Chandra Bose again, the alleged 'snooping' by the Nehru regime 

only brings into light that all that is past was not pristine white.

For a large number of Indians, especially in Bengal, Bose remains a star. But somehow, his 

philosophies were never allowed to prosper. Minority appeasement was never Bose's concept,

and that is why he had succeeded. 

In the book, 'The Indian Ideology' Perry Anderson, Professor of History at the University of California, 

Los Angeles, writes, “Subhas Chandra Bose, the only leader Congress ever produced who united Hindus, 

Muslims, and Sikhs in a common secular struggle,…" adding the obvious the political landscape of 

postwar India would not have been the same had he survived.” 

 

How did Bose succeed in INA achieving the 'Hindu-Muslim' unity something in such a scale that was 

a catastrophic failure in pre-independent India? 

The reason for Bose’s success, shared by most historians of repute, was his deft handling of the 

communal question. Post-2014 India has been trying that amid 'sickular' opposition.

Remember the galaxy of Muslim stars in Bollywood who said India's 'intolerance' would push them out

of India. In any other situation, they could have been arrested. But India has 'tolerated' the class.

Even the supposedly an authentic book - also written in a lucid style - 'Freedom at Midnight' (first published in 1975) 

penned by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre - in effect smacks of concerted efforts to glorify the role of 

Mountbatten and the British Raj.

I had met Lapierre in January 2009 in Delhi; and when some of us asked him to respond to criticism 

that the book almost glorified the colonial masters, he did not deny!

The essential problem with the  'sickular class' is 'psychological'. They seemed to have lost balance - 

the 'balance' of reasoning!

Why?

One reason is right from 2002 - they thought the punching bag they had created in Gujarat would 

not make much headway. 

But Modi became PM of India and notwithstanding the playing of 'desi and videshi' cards or 'jhun-jjhuna' 

of mob lynching, etc etc - Modi has returned to power in 2019. 

So they do not know what to do with their 'wisdom'!
