Nandys himself a gandhian gives clean chit to gandhi  co. and islamic ulema. Gandhis casteism is not mentioned nor are ulemas dream turning whole india into dar ul islam within 100 yrs or so from inside. Gandhi was basically a philistine bania who had big problems if not to say inferiority complex for anything  coming from bengali renesanse or bengal at large. i dont konw much abt ali brothers but i dont think they ever liked ppl like omar khayyam or mirza ghalib.

 

Nandy happily forgets to mention indian muslim league was established in 1905 ten yrs before hindu mahasabha. even though muslim league demanded state for themselves in 1940. he never mentions khilafat movement, which disillusioned jinnah away from congress. maybe congress and ali brothers alliance pissed both jinnah and savarkar away.

 

Anyway this savarkarite/jinnah state buliding is perverse neither ramdhun or jehad (overt or stealth) is not answer. maybe india and pakistan should hv done like greeks and turks given few yrs for exchange of cows(populations) with nirad chaudhri, jinnah and savarkar as overseers. nb also master tara singh

 

cheers

Sandeep
