I am Maharashtrian Brahmin. My grandmother used to tell the stories of these riots after the Gandhi assassination. Brahmins were dragged out and burned their houses thereafter. My grandmother and their family survived only because her father was a doctor and savior for everyone not just Brahmins but for all. This horrific incident she experienced in Satara, but as per her it has happened in many other places also.

I am Maharashtrian Brahmin. My mother survived because her neighbours saved her, a four year child. My father and uncle in their early twenties were jailed by Nehruvian Congrees because they were Maharashtrian Brahmin and part of the revolutionary movement. I grew up hearing stories of true Indian heros of the freedom movement and stories of partition. I educated in English school but at home I was consciously introduced to Veer Savarkar's literature and thougts. I was blessed but wish more Indians especially the kids and youth are introduced to Veer Savarkar, the true Nationalist and his ideology.

A rare aspect of Sanjeev Sanyal's character I noticed here is that he is such a fantastic and flamboyant speaker that he hardly ever minds or takes umbrage with interruptions and interjections (often distracting, often topic-changing ones) of the interviewer, rather cares to politely and satisfyingly but briefly answer that and then returns to his previous talking point so smoothly and gracefully by somehow merging his talking point with the interruption that even the audiences start not to bother about those interruptions and instead find them to be enhancing the scope of entire discussion. Glad to know that he is a trained black belt in Taekowondo.

Prashant, I belong to the trader community, being trader we were considered closer to brahmins, but segregated by brahmins in Konkan. Nevertheless, my great great grandfather had own farming rice paddy land. His house was set on fire by GANDHIANS. I guess as traders weren’t Gandhian enough, and brahmins were hated by that section of people. Marathas. Being the only survivor of that incident, he hid in bushes and they went to nearby village for refuge to relatives. He got basic education, but was indebted to the family. Travelled to Mumbai at the age of 16, worked as lipik in small offices. A local wealthy fisherman ( yes fishermen were wealthy those days, they had control on economy) now they are cornered and ignored. That man helped him set the business. The bottom line is, many survived the atrocities of Gandhian politics. They were not peaceful, they were not morally better. He was no saint, and more evil than British for us. That’s why in my family we say, British ARE better than Gandhi.

My family from maternal side was Mukherjee zamindar of Ula, Bengal now called Birnagar ( which was thus named after the bravery of mukherjees) ..... One stroke of pen and we lost lands and properties because of rejecting the " Rai Bahadur" title and taking part in the revolution......I am so so sorry but this feels personal I dnt know who will read this ..... Attempted to listen to this several times... But cud not .... Really not sure what I felt.... Rage, Sad, Greatful, Disgust all at one time..... one thing for sure.... People who have gone through it doesn't like to talk about it.... I have heard many such stories .... A well established BASAK family ( holding good positions like Barrister ) came to kolkata ( only the wife with her two children) with rice, potato, few coins and gold all packed together in just 2 pillow covers. The menfolk mostly stayed back a bit more to sell of the properties.....I remember every time this woman told me this story she ended with " at that point I was not even sure whether I will see my husband again or not but I had to survive for my kids".

[@KIRAN-cb8ql]

A great great thank to Smitha Didi for such a podcast. Really, this podcast is a solid proof, how social media also can be used as great learning centre. Other than this, ordinary people will hardly know the truth after school life and during our working life.

[@sunilmahapatra6897]

Sir your books are very eye-opening and informative. I could only imagine how much background check you might be doing for these information. Really thankful to your greatness and service towards our beloved country. 1 request - kindly start initiative in think tank group related to "accountability of judges and judicial reforms " in front of Modiji. Jai Jagannath

Sanjeev Sanyal Sir is a gem in our country! ❤✨

[@karansparshh]

Sanjeev is amazing. Knowledge of History, Economics and Risk Management!

[@essm4179]

Mr. Sanyal is absolutely brilliant! What a treat to listen to him & learn about India's REAL History. For Western audiences - Congress & their collaborating allies who were so friendly to the British Rulers - were like the Vichy France in World War-2. Nehru was the Marshall Petain of India & People like Savarkar & Bose were the Charles De Gaulles of India. Except, while in France DeGaulle aligned with eventual Victors (Allies) & became a National Hero; in India it was tragically the opposite - was like Petain & his Nazi bureaucratic collaborators becoming the eventual French leaders. So sad for India. Hope the people of India learn about importance of the Naval Revolt (dont minimalise it by calling it 'mutiny'), INA Trials, Bose, Savarkar & other so-called extremist Revolutionaries. These people were the real Heroes & they loved their country & wanted Freedom so badly, way more than the Soft collaborators/ semi-revolutionaries like Nehru.

Chitpavan brahmin genocide is what happened after Gandhi was killed. Not because they loved Gandhi, it's just that those who killed them hated brahmins with a passion.

[@prashantkirloskar2853]

Thanks to Sanjeev ji for highlighting history of India that was written off….My great grandfather and family in his sixties had to leave Maharashtra in the dark of the night and moved to a small village in another state and luckily survived post Gandhi assassination…

[@ChinTuk2]

DaDa, I am from Sanyal Family, It was Very Important for Me To Know About My Revolutionary GrandParents & My Family History as Mentioned in Great Depth by my 1st Cousin ... !! Many off the Fact We OurSelves Not Aware off Just Because The History too Distorted & Hidden the Reality of BharatWarsh Freedom Struggle ...!! ThankYou DaDa for the Amazing PodCast to Open Up the UnTold Reality... Love Chinkoo...!!

[@চিরন্তনসত্য-ল৬ট]

Were the Sanyals originally from Hooghly district of West Bengal before they settled in Varanasi? I have seen some sources which claim Sachindra Nath Sanyal's ancestral house was in Hooghly district.

Nothing but Mad Respect for Revolutionaries ❤❤

[@subhabhupathiraju9925]

Jai Hind!!! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Jai Ho Sanjeev ji 🙏

[@RuchiMT]

Gratitude is the only feeling I have after listening to this podcast... Such conversations invoke the drive to get up and give back to the society which has suffered immensely and has seen unfathomable atrocities in the past. Kudos to Smita Mam for bringing the joy of listening to the reformers of today...

[@kallemreddy2000]

Need more people like him , hope many people will be inspired by Sanyalji and true patriot!

[@lorddigital4525]

Brilliant episode. Sanjeev Sanyal is a true jem. Though Nehru and his followers did everything in their power to wipe the records clean, the old nationalist revolutionaries, our unsung heroes have found a passionate voice to tell their tale, how they fought for the freedom of India and sacrificed their very life so that future generations could be free from the foreign yoke.

[@paurinzaveri9673]

Of all the episodes this one is the most information heaven, I've never been so curious about what's coming next on any of the previous podcasts

[@banojkaran4805]

Thats why, I love this man. True and fearless.

[@ritusharma8579]

What an engaging conversation! It is very much required to bring out all the facts of what all happened in history. Let the people decide whichever narrative they would like to believe in. Thank you Smita for bringing us such a lovely episode.

[@dishaparikh3645]

Wow! Thought provoking information. Excellent guest choice, Smita. Thank you Sanjeev.

[@MrParthajit]

Thank you Sanyal saab and Smitaji for an enlightening discussion. I wonder why successive Indian Govt’s never asked British Monarchy for reparation or at least a public apology for their part in plundering, looting and oppression of Indian people.

[@madhusudhanvvenkatraman794]

Awesome Sanjeev ji. Can't be explained more clearly the many issues faced by India and simply amazed at the depth of your knowledge. May your tribe grow multi fold sounding the end of liberals, both local and global

[@crkamathtube]

1:05:01 Most important part of this interview - pls tag this separately than under the Silicon Valley Bank headline. Clearly outlines the government's vision. It's heartening to know that Modi government receives advice from such eminent thinkers. Judicial, administrative and police reforms are the most important next steps that the country needs and I am glad it is a priority of the government.

[@Gatorkaka946]

Thanks!

[@amanj3051]

[@aswathareddy5224]

Wonderful, lovely,exponentially interactive thoughts. It was moving to know those of ours Civilization which we lost in the middle of our evaluation.

[@rashmichaturvedi3836]

Sanjeev ji, we are very proud of you and your family as bharatiya. You represent true Bengal. 🙏🇮🇳🙏

karan thapar and romila thapar are one of the descendants of collaborators that i know of.

[@Pppjhnn9999]

Beautiful... I was gonna say the future cabinet of India looks super bright n cutting edge must say. No-nonsense political figures like Yogi, Himanta, Fadnavis, Rijju, AnuragThakur et al. while no-nonsense thinkers with a true Indian Nationalist bent of mind like JayPanda, TejasviSurya, Annamalai, Sanyal, JyotiadityaScindia et al. 2047 seems closer than it actually is in my mind. Absolute delight to watch this PodCast of Smita-Sanyal.

[@prasadvarma5652]

OMG. I remember Sanyal Ji discussing in an interview around 2021, how US govt spent money in covid crisis vs how India govt spent money in covid crisis. He then told that US will have its consequences. He also expressed happiness about how India was able to send direct benifit to needy people, food ration along with some money, using Aadhaar & UPI. Thank you Sanjeev Sanyal ji.

[@kitnanaai]

You can always listen to Mr. Sanyal ji for a long time. Savarkar’s sacrifices will never be understood by the majority because of the damage done by Nehrus and Thapars.

[@CaptainKiranKonher]

स्मिता जी: हमारे मराठी में एक कहावत और मान्यता हैं जो मुझे मेरी माँ ने शिवाजी महाराज के चरित्र से सिखाई थी - "परस्त्री मातें समान" । महान शिवाजी महाराज नें यह उद्गार तब कहें थें जब उनके दरबार मेंं कल्याण के सुभेदार की बहू को बंदिस्त कर गुलाम के रुप में प्रस्तुत किया था। जब भी मैं आप का पॉडकास्ट देखता हूं तो यही सोचता हूं - यदी मेरी मां आप के जैसी बुद्धिमान होती, तो मैं भी ज्ञानी हो। आप जी हमारा बुद्धीवर्धन करते रहिए। धन्यवाद!
