Ramachandra Guha had tweeted a 1939 quote by Spratt that drew criticism from Finance Minister Sitharaman, Gujarat CM Rupani and Congress leader Ahmed Patel.
The draft Seeds Bill gets the big ideas right: universal registration, traceability, real penalties. To work for Punjab, it must get federal plumbing and farmer-facing details sorted.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
This is a deliberate controversy created by Shri Guha to get his quota of 15 minutes of fame. This is his technique to keep himself in the limelight, supported by an intellectually clueless media.
Ramachandra Guha is a historian of dubious competence. He is bad tempered historian and lacks the equanimity required of a historian. Anyway, what was the provocation for calling Gujarat backward. I visisted Gujarat for the first time a few months. I didn’t notice any backwardness culturally. They have great music and dance tradition.

Backwardness means no left party is there
