All those who accused BJP of attempting to saffronize History when Murli Manohar Joshi spoke about re-writing Indian History must read this book and then form their own opinion.
This book contains incontrovertible evidence to prove that we as an Independent country are, beyond any trace of doubt, guilty of distorting history! That too within the first fifty years of independence itself!!
This being the case, how much an alien ruler should have done, if only to retain power for over 2 centuries?
If the truth revealed by the book that Dr. BR Ambedkar had not even once spoken in favour of India getting freedom should surprise a few, impressions held about him by the erstwhile Viceroy as revealed in the exchange of tested telegrams etc., are bound to prove shocking. In fact the British regime clearly had an extremely poor opinion about Ambedkar’s integrity itself!
‘When concessions are granted politics evolve around those concessions’, says Arun Shourie. How very true, coach handbags outlet !
This is a great book, it is a MUST READ for all educated Indians; educated in the sense as defined by Nani Palkivala, ‘Education enables a person to think for himself independently.’
Pseudo-Secular Parties had ganged-up against the author and were hell-bent on having this book banned. But then the author was well-equipped with micro-films of entire correspondence successive Viceroys had with the Prime Minister of the UK and vice versa by way of proof in self-defense. Ironically the author’s main defense turned out to be Dr. Ambedkar’s works itself that is in 14 volumes subsidized and published by the Government of Maharashtra. Every speech delivered by Dr. Ambedkar throughout his life is recorded in these works. Throughout his life not even once had he ever spoken in favour of our getting independence. Instead his refrain had always been that ‘India should not become independent. If it becomes independent Congress Party will come to power which means the Brahmins will come to power and if that happens it would be curtains for the dalits, five finger shoes ! So India ought not to become independent’ This was the kind of skewed logic carried in his speeches throughout.
But then according to History as taught in India Dr. B R Ambedkar is supposed to be a freedom fighter. If this does not amount to distortion of History what else is? This aspect is proved by Arun Shourie beyond any trace of doubt in this monumental effort of his WORSHIPING FALSE GODS which every educated Indian must read.
