Hidden Pages Of Indian Independence.

History is what the Historians choose to write.

I have come across information on The History of The Independence.

This is backed up by good references and sources,

Read On.

Gandhi and Others decide to Hand over Power To Netaji.

“British were in trouble in 1946. Indians in the Armed forces were no longer trust worthy. The mutiny, that no one in our generation has ever heard of, did to the British colonization, what no other action could have done in the long struggle of 250 years.

Said Sir Stafford Cripps, intervening in the debate on the motion to grant Indian Indepence in the British House of Commons in 1947 (‘The Freedom Struggle and the Dravidian Movement’ by P.Ramamurti, Orient Longman, 1987)

…The Indian Army in India is not obeying the British officers. We have recruited our workers for the war; they have been demobilised after the war. They are required to repair the factories damaged by Hitler’s bombers. Moreover, they want to join their kith and kin after five and a half years of separation. Their kith and kin also want to join them. In these conditions if we have to rule India for a long time, we have to keep a permanent British army for a long time in a vast country of four hundred millions. We have no such army….”

In August 1945, Subhash Bose had reportedly died, while he collaborated with the Japanese and Hitler to fight the British. After the Second World War was over, three of the top officers of the Indian National Army (INA) – General Shah Nawaz Khan (Muslim), Colonel Prem Sehgal (Hindu) and Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon (Sikh) were put on trial at the Red Fort in Delhi. Their crime: “waging war against the King Emperor”

While Nehru was busy “defending” the three; he (Nehru), Gandhi, Mohd. Ali Jinnah, and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad had come to a secret pact that if Subhash Bose was to enter India (as many knew he hadn’t died in 1945), he would be handed over and charged.

Unprecedentedly, these trials were very public. Due to the sympathy toward Netaji and the INA in general, there was an instant and large outpouring of passion and patriotism in Indians. These stories were being shared via wireless sets and through media in general on the ships, where the sailors who were being given bad treatment (lack of proper service facilties), got inspired to go out and join together in a strike and rebel against the government.

The mutiny started on 18 February 1946 and by next evening a Naval Central Strike Committee was formed where Leading Signalman M.S Khan and Petty Officer Telegraphist Madan Singhwere unanimously elected President and Vice-President respectively.

The spread of the Naval mutiny, which started in Bombay was complete – Karachi, Calcutta, Cochin and Vizag. 78 ships, 20 shore establishments and 20,000 sailors had been involved in the strike.

Seeing this Naval strike, the Bombay-ites did a one day general strike. Even the Royal Indian Air Force and local police forces joined in the other cities. The NCOs in the British Indian army openly ignored and defied the orders of the British superiors. In Madras and Pune, the Indian Army revolted in the British Garrisons.

Riots broke out all over the country. The mutineers were hoisting 3 flags – Indian National COngress, Muslim League and CPI. British people in cars were made to get off and shout “Jai Hind” by the mutineers. The Indian Tricolor was hoisted on many ships and establishments, by just the second day.

Such was the crisis that destroyers were gotten and stationed at the Gateway of India in Bombay to deal with the mutineers. Navies of Australia and Canada were also summoned.

The third day into this – the Royal Air Force flew an entire squadron of Bombers over Bombay Harbor to show support. Meanwhile the sailors had taken over HMIS Bahadur, Chamak and Himalaya and from the Royal Naval Anti-Aircraft School .

It was by that time that the decision to confront the Navy ratings was taken by the British and the sailors aboard the destroyer Hindustan were challenged. The sailors lost many lives and could not fight back much and in the process the ship Hindustan was destroyed.

Betrayal by Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah and Azad

Despite the extensive public support and support from all the wings of the Armed forces – Army, Navy, Air force, and even police – apart from unanimous coming together of people across religious groups at a time when the religious situation had been made really bad due to Partition debate and passion, ALL the National Leaders not only did NOT support the Navy Mutineers and their supporters but instead condemned them.

They were leaderless, surely, but they had achieved what NO OTHER generation and group of Indians had achieved in 250 years – turn the Indian Armed forces personnel against their Masters. Subhash Bose had imagined this kind of situation. Little did he know that from the failure of his own Army, would arise a rebellion and a will to fight amongst the rank and file of Indian soldiers hitherto fighting dutifully for the British, often against their own countrymen, to strike back.

The Mainstream politicians – from Jinnah to Gandhi, to Nehru to Maulana Azad – ALL let these final Freedom fighters down. They just abandoned them and except for preaching they did nothing to help them.

In midst of one of most unprecedented religious tension in the sub-continent, this rebellion and its genesis was a Godsend to reinforce religious and class harmony, which was forged instantly WITHOUT any machination. Yet, it was squandered…. probably deliberately by all those who promised us peace and harmony.

These people – the so-called Mainstream politicians spearheaded by Gandhi were interested in only their hold of their masses.. to see themselves being upstaged by a bunch of young upstarts with romantic patriotism in their eyes was unnerving. (James L. Raj; Making and unmaking of British India. Abacus. 1997. p598) Show of fake “constitutional process” and “principles” was a good way to brush them aside despite all they had been able to do.

Real Reason for Independence

So what were the three things which convinced the British that India could not be governed by force anymore?

Subhash Bose, Indian National Army and the Royal Navy Uprising..

When Justice P.B. Chakrabarty, the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court once asked the British PM Lord Clement Atlee – responsible for conceding India’s Independence, the all important question –

“what was the extent of Gandhi’s influence upon the British decision to quit India”

His response, with a smirk: “m-i-n-i-m-a-l!“

So, then why did they have to leave if the Quit India movement of 1942 had subsided and nothing major happened in the mainstream politics – then why did the British have to leave so suddenly in 1947??

Clement Atlee’s response:

Erosion of loyalty to the British Crown among the Indian army and navy personnel as a result of the military activities of Netaji

Such was the Congress party scared of the truth coming out that as late as 1965, a Marxist theater actor and writer Utpal Dutt was arrested for writing a passionate play on the VERY event that ensured India its Independence – the Royal Navy Uprising!

DMK out of UPA,IN UPA!? Typical Karunanidhi Double Speak!

Typical Karunanidhi double speak.

DMK is with Congress at the Centre,in his words ‘for Lok Sabha‘.

Wait for the announcement of Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu!

Depending on Kanimozhi‘s release( which is expected by September 30th; read my blog on this ‘Kanimozhi to be release?’), he will decide whether to continue the Alliance with Congress for the Assembly polls.

In fact the present posturing is to threaten the Congress.

Those who know Karunanidhi will not be surprised by his glaring contradictory stance.

He will call for Autonomy for Tamil Nadu when in Opposition, and preach of strong Center while in power.

He will lecture on Tamil ,Tamil Race,-his grand children will study in Convents.

He will ridicule Hinduism/Hindus.

He will wear Yellow Shawl to please Jupiter( Guru Dhosham)

He calls for Self respect Marriage (as though there is no such thing in Hindu marriages)

Yet he will have purohits for his children’s marriages,perform all ceremonies.

He will visit temples including Tanjore Big temple, enter by a side entrance,because superstition has it that those who enter the Temple -when in power- directly shall lose power, with Silk Dhoti and  Angavastram to escape the curse.

Any way he lost power and has added to to the Myth.

His family will perform Homas in Tirukkadavur for His Longevity, do Ragu Dosha Nivritti at Sri Kalahasti.

He will support Tamil Elam, weep for Tamils in Sri Lanka, his daughter will meet with Rajapakshe.

He will meet the Governor when their cable business is threatened but will not enter the area of Governor when Tamils are being killed.

There can be only one Karunanidhi.

“The ties between the two parties at the time Lok Sabha and Assembly polls will not break and it will continue. We are on good terms with the Centre,” Karunanidhi told reporters when asked whether his decision to go it alone for local body elections would affect DMK’s relations with Congress.

Asked whether any Congress leader spoke to him after his announcement on Wednesday, he replied in the negative.

“We have already mentioned clearly in the statement. We have not said there is no relationship with Congress. There is no alliance for the Local Body Elections and DMK will contest alone was the only announcement I made,” he said adding local body polls are based on people’s basic needs.

“There is no need to mix politics in this,” he said.

Chapter 7 Conclusions and Recommendations

AirIndiahas enjoyed the unique position of being considered the National Carrier of the country.  This is in spite of the fact that there are many other Indian Carriers today who are operating both domestic and international flights.  

  In  spite  of  this  advantage,  it  is  also  a  fact  that  Air  India  is  no  more  the  favoured airline of passengers, both Indian as also International.  The services and criteria that benchmark a favoured and popular airline are perceived to be absent in AirIndia. The discerning passenger who may be a corporate, businessman, tourist or civil servant who has to spend long hours in flight looks for a comfortable, luxurious and salubrious environment. Attentive, efficient, pleasant and courteous service from the crew on board is an added attraction.

The current dismal state of affairs of the merged entity “AirIndia” is a combination of a multiplicity of factors such as: 

x risky acquisition of a large number of aircraft with the intention of vastly expanded operations and “footprint” and also, in the case of the erstwhile AIL,perceivably following a ‘supply response’ philosophy enunciated by MoCA.

x a liberalised policy on bilateral entitlements for international air travel introduced by GoI without affording adequate time to AIL/ IAL to set their houses in order and gear up for a highly competitive environment, & subsequent rights being liberally approved to foreign carriers without any quid pro quo to Indian Carriers. 

x an ill-timed merger undertaken after separate aircraft acquisitions by AIL and IAL were completed, driven from the top, rather than by the perceived needs of both these airlines, with inadequate validation of the financial benefits from such a merger and without adequate consideration of the difficulties involved in integration (notably in terms of HR and IT, among other areas);

x chronic operational deficiencies;

x a weak financial position reflected in a grossly inadequate equity capital and undue dependence on debt funding, providing little or no cushion for the financial shock when it came; and

x external factors beyond the control of AI (high ATF prices, the 2008 economic recession

etc.).

Who is The Real Sonia Gandhi? Opposing Views.

Sonia Gandhi.

There have been accusations and rumors galore on Sonia Gandhi.

I have referred to couple of Biographies on Sonia Gandhi.

They seem to be at variance with each other.

So many books, so much contradictions!

If what Wikipedia says is true people should respect her privacy and not make  wild allegations.

If on the other hand, the allegations are true,she should come clean.

It would be best to have here Biography written authorized by herself.

It would be in her interest and India to have this done as she is undoubtedly the one who controls the Congress party.

As things stand now, it is the only party that seems to have an edge over the other parties.

The Congress owes it to the Nation.

Said Sonia Gandhi, “Hindi, a language that only servants speak.”

SONIA GANDHI FIGHTS TO BAN ‘BOOK OF LIES’

By Dean Nelson in New Delhi.

SONIA GANDHI, the Italian head of India’s ruling Congress Party and widow of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, has launched a legal campaign to stop the publication of a “fictionalized biography” based on her life.

Mrs. Gandhi has taken exception to her portrayal in “The Red Sari” – by the Spanish writer Javier Moro – as a snob who wanted to leave India following her husband’s 1991 assassination. The book also portrays her as a central figure in Indira Gandhi’s 1975 imposition of emergency rule.

Authors and filmmakers have been drawn to the romance and tragedy of Mrs. Gandhi’s life. She married Indira Gandhi’s son Rajiv after meeting him at Cambridge in the mid- 1960s and was living with his family in New Delhi when his brother Sanjay died in a plane crash and Indira was killed by her Sikh guards. In 1991 Rajiv was assassinated by a Tamil suicide bomber.

Mr Moro’s book, which has been successful in Italy and Spain, is expected to be published in India later this year.

Lawyers for Mrs Gandhi yesterday described the book as “full of untruths, half truths, falsehoods, defamatory statements, completely imaginary and invented conversations”. They said she would “take all steps to protect and defend herself and her family”.

She appears to have been most wounded by its claim that she had wanted to leave India, describing it as “this country that devours its children” and had complained about having to learn to speak Hindi. In the book, Mr Moro writes that “Sonia did not understand why she had to learn a language only spoken by the servants”.

Both are potentially damaging for Mrs. Gandhi whose Italian nationality is used against her by opponents and whose supporters are overwhelmingly poor Hindi speaking voters.

Mr Moro yesterday defended his claim that she had wanted to leave India. “There were articles in the Italian papers. After her husband died, her mother called, and it’s logical that she asked, “When are you coming home?” It’s not far-fetched, it’s a literary licence,” he said.

An unauthorised “fictional biography” of Sonia Gandhi has angered the leader of India’s Congress party — prompting threats from her lawyer to block its publication.

Javier Moro, a Spanish writer, says his book El Sari Rojo (The Red Sari), which has already sold 230,000 copies, dramatises the “tale of the Nehru-Gandhi family, told through the story of Sonia Gandhi” and is not meant to be a conventional biography.

Mrs Gandhi’s lawyer says that the book, about to be published in English, is full of distortions. The Gandhi camp is particularly incensed by the way she is depicted as a victim of her Hindu environment.

Mr Moro’s account, about to come out in English, dwells on her relatively modest upbringing in Italy before she met Rajiv Gandhi while studying in Cambridge and moved to India to be his wife in 1968.

….

Abhishek Singhvi, spokesman for the Congress Party spokesman and head of its legal department, told The Times that he met Mrs Gandhi on Wednesday to discuss the book, and planned to sue for defamation if it was published in India.

“Mr Moro and his publisher, if they persist in their egregious conduct, will soon learn that India is governed by the rule of law, which includes the law of defamation,” Mr Singhvi said.

“For Mr Moro to pretend to be the injured martyr and talk of censorship is worse than the devil quoting the scriptures.”

He said there were cited a “huge list of distortions” including a passage describing how Hindu priests prevented Mrs Gandhi from attending her husband’s cremation.

He also disputed a passage describing how, after her husband’s death, she “suddenly thought of fleeing this country that devours its children”.

“Mr Moro’s refuge in the phrase ‘fictionalised biography’ is disingenuous,” he said.

It is not the first time Congress has tried to block an unauthorised dramatisation of Mrs Gandhi’s life: in 2006, it stopped the production of a film about her starring Monica Bellucci.

This year, a Bollywood film about a woman politician resembling Mrs Gandhi has had problems obtaining a universal classification from censors.

Congress has also been blamed for shutting down the office of an Urdu-language newspaper in Kashmir this week over a derogatory caption under a picture of Mrs Gandhi.

Wife of the Prime Minister

Sonia Gandhi’s involvement with Indian public life began after the assassination of her mother-in-law and her husband’s election as Prime Minister. As the Prime Minister’s wife she acted as his official hostess and also accompanied him on a number of state visits.^{[citation needed]} In 1984, she actively campaigned against her husband’s sister-in-law Maneka Gandhi who was running against Rajiv in Amethi. At the end of Rajiv Gandhi’s five years in office, the Bofors Scandal broke out. Ottavio Quattrocchi, an Italian business man believed to be involved, was said to be a friend of Sonia Gandhi, having access to the Prime Minister’s official residence. In 1980, her name appeared in the voter’s list for New Delhi prior to her becoming an Indian Citizen, when she was still holding Italian Citizenship.^[19] It was a violation of Indian Laws.^[20] When she did acquire Indian Citizenship in April 1983, the issue cropped up again, as her name appeared on the 1983 voter’s list when the deadline for registering had been in January 1983.

Senior Congress leader Pranab Mukherjee said that she surrendered her Italian passport to the Italian Embassy on 27 April 1983. Italian nationality law did not permit dual nationality until 1992. So, by acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983, she would automatically have lost Italian citizenship.
