Delhi sultanate especially kings of turk origin were notoriously racist towards Indians and extreme religious fanatics as well , all these so called secular gestures were just a way to buy more time in hindu dominated country they were surrounded by .
So basically nobody in the audience agreed with the leftist/islamist spiel? I think those that want to dilute and muddy the public consciousness with regard to Indian history should really call it a day. I think the general public is quite aware of how this narrative benefits India’s enemies while weakening the state. Probably for the first time since independence the country is largely unified in thought. Obviously this creates a problem, for India’s enemies. Divide and rule was always how invaders were able to get a foothold in India.
The Vajpeyis are an “intellectual” family funded and promoted by the the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty. There are innumerable such families who have consistently enjoyed the patronage of the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty. In exchange, they sang paeans to the “first family of India”.
Now that the Gandhi-Nehru family has been out of power for more than a decade, these families find themselves in a lurch. Dependent on state largesse and enjoying the very best of this country through the decades, all thanks to their elite social status granted by the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty, now they have to actually work for a living. No wonder they are upset and bitter.
These “intellectual families” have been praying for the Congress to return to power as the survival of their own “Zamindari” is dependent on that.
What about you Mr. Ashok Vajpeyi? And your daughter Ms. Ananya Vajpeyi?
The whole family has been engaged through the generations into denigrating and vilifying Hindus – our heritage, our customs, our rituals, our festivals, our Gods, our saints, our philosophies.
And this family has always enjoyed the patronage of the Nehru-Gandhi family. It itls this patronage which enabled them to be a part of the social elite of India – enjoying the very best of what the country has to offer.
The blood and sweat of the average Hindu fueled and funded the extravagance of this Nehru-Gandhi family enabled cabal.
And now you have the gall to complain? Shame on you.
There was a systematic denigration of capitalism in the Nehruvian world. Taxes were punitive and profit a bad word. That socialism killed the economy. Now that it is reversed and things have improved Nehru should be turned in to a god. Never to be criticised. Truth outs eventually.
Criticism and counter narratives to the leftist hegemony over Indian narratives is an absolute must. I hope the center right in India continues to highlight the deep malaise of the Nehruvian era which left us with problems in Kashmir, the North East and the enduring legacy of a peace time emergency that left no stone unturned in its effort to stifle democracy. The continuation of family rule to this day is the biggest proof of the malaise of the Nehruvian years. Its ramifications to this day means that India lacks a truly democratic and free main opposition party.
