I don’t miss any talk by sanjeev, he is loaded with knowledge and plus gifted with art of narration. All respect for him

[@sudipbiswas5185]

Whenever, Sanjiv Sir talk about revolutionary, my blood boil everytime. There's something else in his voice whenever he talk about revolutionary.

[@indranilseth1551]

Because he has revolutionary blood in him

[@arunvk301]

Not many but all of the brave sons of India were Shaktha Worshippers it may be Kali or Durga or Bavani or Bharathi but they worshiped Shakthi. Great Freedom Fighters from Tamil nadu like Pasumpon Tevar saw all women as Parashakthi , Subramania Bharathiyar got the dheeksha from Sister Niveditha and worshipped her as Bharathi (Saraswathi). Veera Kerala Simham Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja worshipped her as Porkali (Kali in Battlefield) ,took his surname as Shree Porkalidasan ( Slave lf Kali) and fought against British and Tippu simultaneously. Chembaka Raman Veluthambi popularly known as Veluthambi Dalawa stabbed himself to death at Mannadi Kali Temple after loosing his battle with British. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj worshipped her as Bavani, Guru Gobind Singh kept his Swords name as "Bagothi " , Netaji worshipped Durga inside Jail , Savarkar worshipped her as Ashtabuja Bavani, Aurobindo wrote "Bavani mandir Manifesto". Swami Vivekananda worshipped her as Bavatharani and told the world, " Upanishads alone are capable to give you Moksha,then "Kali worship " its my lone madness, about which i wont tell world anything". The lack of Shakti worship is the reason for our Mental Slavery.

[@A_Dasgupta]

Thank you for the information! Even intellectual kshatriyas like S Ramanujan worshipped Maa Namagiri. Strength of our forefathers' character came from the blessings of Maa Aadi Shakti, whichever form she's being worshipped. Maa gives the strength, Baba Bholenath gives the necessary balance to control and wield that strength.

[@babubantai]

Great conversation. Now we know Sanjeev Da comes from such a legendary family. ❤❤ Long live revolution. It is people like Sachin Sanyal who gave us freedom

[@Hi_yayawar]

Also from Shri ShyamaCharan Ji Lahiri Mahashay (Autobiography of a Yogi) .

[@rajanipurandare8307]

Look at the planning and sacrifices we Indians did for free Bharat. Jai Hindu Nation of Bharat.

[@sbanerjee2005]

Dear Sanjeev, you are an inspiration. Thank you so much for uncovering our history and heritage which has been categorically ignored. Thank you Chandrachur for hosting!

[@the_bhartiya_spirit]

Sanjeev Sanyal, life long bliss to hear ❤🫡

[@tanukabanerjee1731]

Ever wonder there is so much clamor about Bargi but never about the so called dacoits of Bengal . Because they never wanted you to find out about this rich legacy

[@DrsaiKamalofficial]

Bengali revolutionary history,their contribution and sacrifices in Independence need to be brought forward for the nation.... It was the Bengalis who led once and successfully could have started thinking life beyond money... perhaps I have seen many Bengalis who are successful in their job always put intelligence snd culture over money.❤❤❤❤❤

[@saugatalahiri7287]

Incredible, might be possible that one ☝️ of the Mauser guns was owned by my mama Dadu who was a freedom fighter and was also in Kaal paani 😢

[@gtalk2k]

You should be immensely proud of your lineage and what a strong character your Mama must have been.

[@saugatalahiri7287]

@@gtalk2k absolutely, when I remember the “Chabuk” signs on his back and the torture he faced, I am still unable to control my emotions. He’s long gone , was very young when I had him, couldn’t fully realise what he and his brothers ( my other choto Dadu’s , they were also in jail ) had done .

[@vikramtalwar7450]

I don’t understand why there are so less likes of all these wonderful talks. What’s wrong with people🤔

[@Hi_yayawar]

Sanjiv Sanyal Ji is great grandson of Sachindranath Sanyal. His lineage is also from ShyamaCharan Ji Lahiri "Mahashay"'s (Autobiography of a Yogi) side.

[@Hi_yayawar]

Sri Aurobindo and his brother Barin formed Anusheelan Samiti. Aurobindo escaped British territory to Puduchchery (a French colony) and Brits had to take back order. Great Service by AnandMargi Saadhus and Anusheelan Samiti (RashBihari Bose, CR Das) and 1000s of well known names.

[@SumanSingh-zt3jh]

Thanks a lot for educating Indians who were made to believe that congress and Gandhi were the only reasons india got independence. Mr Sanyal is way more erudite than pseudo historians we have been listening for a long time.

[@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg]

Indians were also made to believe that Ramayana , Mahabharatha really happened while , in fact , both are pseudo histories !

[@VoiceOfIndia-FIRST]

It is known in the old revolutionary circles that Chandra Shekhar Azad before he was killed had gone to meet Jawahar Lal Nehru and requested to help the HSRA finacially. Money was not given, Nehru left for Delhi just before Azad was killed and then Azad was killed. There is some suspecian against Nehru of having informed the authorities of Azad's presence in Allahabad. To reinforce this suspecian, after independence all CID / police records of the Azad's informant etc. were destroyed. Who destroyed the records and why destroyed? That is all about Nehru. But Yashpal had a motive to see that Azad is killed. How? Yashpal had committed sexual misconduct against a HSRA female member - whom Yashpal had later married while he was in jail. For this misconduct, Azad and other leaders had ordered to shoot and kill Yashpal. This is based on the statement of PW Kailashpati given before the Delhi Conspiracy Commision. A copy of the Proceedings of D.C. Commission is in possession of the writer of these line (because his late father was connected with HSRA and was tried in court).

Sanjeev Sanyal has descended from Dakat Pandit! My mind is blown!!! 🤯

[@PrithaBhowmick-cb1cz]

All sanyals,lahiris, bagchis, moitra are of same descendants 🥰 they are barendra brahmins and we are Bhowmicks we are their extended family our ancestors were 😊 kshatriya clans of barendra 🥰 our king was krishna Narayan 🥰

[@sw4194]

Dakat pandit means? Sorry but not much is known about our ancient history hence asking....

[@A_Dasgupta]

​@@sw4194 Please read about Benimadhab Ray, he was a likewise Dakate Pandit. Basically the Yavans(Pathans) used to unleash terror in the interiors in erstwhile Bengal. These brave Hindu warriors used to catch those Yavans and offer their Narabali to Maa Kaali.

[@sw4194]

@@A_Dasgupta Wow! Didn't know the Yavans used to invade all the way till Bengal! Used to think the north west part of Bharat was most susceptible to them... Tysm for the references provided... Will surely research using them 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@manishdeb9598]

We don't know SO MUCH OF our TRUE HISTORY . Thanks to the Sangam for providing the platform for such discussions

[@tsMuthuraman-hm6wg]

But really ramayana and mahabharatha are fake histories !

[@scontractor12]

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing these wonderful stories and please continue to share more and more stories like this. Modern India needs to understand what people sacrifice for their freedom. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🫡

[@johnroe8517]

Great eye opening video 👌

[@mihirsaharsa]

Inspiring revolutionary history, impressive narration! Sanjeev Sanyal's relentless endeavour to correct the deliberate factual manipulations with our history by the prejudiced Marxist historians has earned him a formidable status of an objective contemporary historian.

[@Gagan99-y2j]

Great conversation with some new revelations l.👍

[@ramakrishnasulebele1875]

thanks for this very interesting phase of the revolutionary people who had great self confidence of fighting the british to get freedom ,and finally subhas bose tried in his own way after disagree ing with the congress and gandhi ,

[@kgovindarajan2388]

Great discussion. It will be very meaningful if some of the books which were banned by the British colonisers are researched & brought to light to know how the freedom movement evolved. The present day narrative ignores the mass movement by the common people irrespective of caste & religion.

As a Bengali as i feel so pround to hear the brave valour and stories of our ancestors on the othet hand i feel sorry and wonder to what level the leftist and jihadist have turned tge predent Bengalis into meek weak woke libis . The valour and revolution has been in the blood as the nature Bengalis are predominantly Kaula Kali Kula Shakta worshippers . Now the bengalis oppose to everything .

[@deepaksingh3172]

Need to know more about the British collaborators like Yashpal who thrived after independence

The fall of Bengal from the stalwarts we had, to the Commie turdfest today is beyond sad. Hopefully it recovers

Very telling that the communities that fought against the British the most were dealt with after independence when the British had completely left India by people that the British had left in charge of India.

[@indology7975]

ooo the mother bengal(ma kali)

[@subhashzadoo]

Modi’s guarantee has given a jewel(in Niti Aayog)&you will continue to handle it during Amritkal. You rightly say that if we don’t learn from our past,we can’t make right decisions for present&future. Help us to write our Itihas, away from history,recoded by Pseudo seculars! We have missed Netaji, Sanyal, Savarkar, Lohia, Ambedkar and other jewels like them, to lead us from 1942 to 1947. Else, we would have been one of the members in Security Council and one amongst the world powers. It has been exhibited from 2014 on wards. Mahadev Bless Us All! JAI VAASUDEV KUTAMBUKAM!

Sanjiv Sanyal undoubtedly has an illustrious family history but flogging the same point constantly wears thin.

[@a73366]

What a shameful way to treat your Freedom Fighters who gave away their lives in their late teens and early twenties by smilingly putting their necks in the gallows who were systematically annihilated both during their active lives but also after the achievement of the Sacred Goal they gifted their lives to, some unknown enemies saw to their systematic burial both physically as well as literally! Question automatically arises in common people's mind - did the Brit's really leave the Indian shores in 1947 or were they very much present through their cronies who continued to rule us for a number of decades after the departure of the White Men!

[@Sathia_Remix]

wondered how he was as much a fighter with words as swords

[@chitmengkhong4057]

Mr. Sanyal maybe mistaken about WW2 starting in Asia later than in Europe Japanese Imperial war on China began in 1933

[@dramalkantisen8731]

Such a clear discussion, independence through armed revolt, finally in 1946. But 1947 onwards it was independence through "ahinsa"-- a false narrative. Unfortunate for Bharat.

[@vijaylachyan8229]

INA veterans first joined 26 Jan parade in 19

[@sugatabose3691]

It is not AHILYA BAI but AHALYA BAI. That is the correct Sanskrit word. The later linguistic aberration is unfortunate and now needs to be done away with.

My dumbass brain is saying that I can rap like that💀 love Jennie she's a queen💅👑

[@sugatabose3691]

'A chap called Rajendra Lahiri, also a grand uncle of mine'---such irreverence towards such a great revolutionary by a puny descendant? Not 'a chap' but 'a gentleman' or at least 'a youth' or 'a young man'.

[@pradipkumarmitra7412]

It is a figure of speech in conversation, Mr Commie!!! Remain without foreskin!!!

[@tanukabanerjee1731]

Gentleman is a vet colonial term . Why do you assume it's a term of reverence 😅

[@sumondutta1101]

It's supposed to be British humor even though he fails to convey that in his speech. It's meant to underline the greatness of the man through contrast. You learn a foreign language, you pick up foreign sensibilities.

[@yashyash5440]

I understand that this book is published in English language because indians are like to read their language but this is a discussion and you people are not speak a single sentences in Hindi and talk about the revolutionary minds who fight against English peoples for their country Bharath not for your india and i write this comment in English because i think you all are not understan hindi ओर हा ये बात सच है कि आजादी अब के खून में नहीं होती

[@TheGuruNetOn]

Bharat varsh mein sabko jiss bhasha mein samjhe uss bhasha ka prayog kiya hai. Hindi sabko samajh nahi aati. Warna Bengali mein woh baat karenge toh sabko to samajhne wala nahi hai. Pustak bhi issi liye Bangla se English mein anuvaad kiya gaya hai. Haan iss pustak ka Hindi anuvaad bahut pehle hi kiya gaya thaa. Iska Bharatiya starr par English mein hi prachar sambhav hai. Issilye English pustak ka prakashan kiya gaya hai.

Non English speaking folks are dharmic for the most part however most English speaking folks seem to be out of touch with our true history.

[@rohaansahu2924]

Many nationalist books are coming in Multiple Indian languages alongside from English. For example - Sanjeev Sanyal's Revolutionaries = Krantikari.

[@SR-fs2fd]

Modern Hindi has become an amalgamation of Hindi+Urdu+English. Your last statement itself has Urdu words. Hindi was useful in freedom struggle but has now served it's purpose. Be thankful they're conversing in English and not Bengali and don't expect others to learn Hindi. Moreover, we are almost at a point where you can speak and listen in any language you want so stop complaining and make use of AI to help yourself.

[@daksh6388]

People from all over the country will listen to this discussion and most of them will not understand Hindi. These are the kinds of comment which make people hate hindi speakers, two bengalis are having a discussion and according to you they should speak in hindi.

Revolutionary roots but Sanjeev Sanyal is too used to comforts. Other day he was complaining about studying in lantern light during 80s of Kolkata. All of us studied like that. That was the power situation in the country then. Why cry about it, especially if you have revolutionary blood in you. And these big revolutionary names he is sprouting never allied with the likes of Savarkar. SS is trying to coopt these figures

[@boy-st8hw]

You have to understand the context. He was talking about the power situation in Bengal after Jyoti Basu came to power and his mismanagement.

Sanyals , lahiri,moitra , bagchis are of same clan of barendra brahmins and we Bhowmicks are also their extended family who are from kshatriya clans of barendra our ancestors were from kannauj.

[@anitghosal4690]

Most probably no...but one of the disciples of Beni Madhav Ray was Jugal Kishore Sanyal aka ' Kala Jogala' he might be the ancestor of the Sanyal Clan. As per the genealogy of Lahiri Mahasaya, some of those Barendri Brahmin might have migrated south towards Nadia Rajshahi Border from where their family migrated to Benaras.
