Pick Your Savarkar, Don't Forget Foot Soldiers: P Sainath | The Big Fight

[@bm8292]

I got an introduction to Shri Sainath on reading his book, "Why everybody loves a Good Drought" I have always following Sainath. His project - People's Archives of Rural India" is worth looking at. Thanks Sainathji God bless you with good health. 🙏

[@nceep]

There is a difference between independence and freedom, well explained and where to draw the line.

[@pragasamramaswamy1592]

IT IS ENCHANTING TO SEE SAINATH AFTER LONG TIME. SIR, PLEASE GIVE MORE LECTURES AND INTERVIEWS.

[@jennycooke8029]

I must say I really enjoyed listening to this delightful author every word he uttered has made an impact on my mind & I sincerely wish there are more like him to appear on ur Sunday b/fast show. Will wait for a repeat. Bravo from a 70yr old

[@amarjeetsinghchawla1386]

Excellent work sir. I would request our cinema people to create several documentary or short film on the patriotic stories in the book. This will bring a real national feeling.

[@manishatulpule7222]

Great interview. Differant book with great interpretation.

[@satishvaidya8739]

More power to Mr. P Saainath.. who gives back very nicely and keep things straight!!

[@praveenraj4683]

[@babukallathuparambil5328]

Good work Sai Nath ji. Hearty congratulations. Go ahead we are with you ❤️

[@pawan15nov]

👏👏i can listen p sainath sir👏for hrs 😊😊

[@ajaykumarthakur3094]

In such times of deliberately created binaries - Ambedkar vs Nehru , Nehru vs Patel , Nehru vs Bose etc , it was extremely edifying to hear someone who spoke without taking sides , someone who spoke with rationality , someone who did not idolise anyone .

[@Sunil-b473]

No disrespect to any freedom fighters but the differences did exist and they are not deliberately created. And again choosing to not knowing is different. It depends on personal choice.

Eye opening information. Thank you Sainath ji

[@jagadishroy7516]

Sir My heartiest respect for you.

[@manickamramu6297]

History resold to remember the foot soldiers who carry the burden of the struggles on their shoulders for the nation to gain freedom. We are, unfortunately ,thank less and hardy care to even think about them.we have to list outhouse who are alive in their ninetees before it becomes too late On my part ,l salute all those who suffered for whatever we are now.

[@vishnuprasada8652]

So compassionate of Sainath to have put the Adivaasis on the highest rung,in terms of India's struggle against colonisers.

[@7guitarlover]

Such a great insight into our history. It declutters a lot.

[@spg6651]

If we do not know anything , anybody speaks good English becomes insight -- Basically it our inefficiency of really spend time and understand real history

Not important what is written while signing off the mercy petition which could be the norm. What is important is the content of the petition & offer to collaborate with Raj if freed. Surprising that was not probed.

[@jiti5034]

It was technic to get out and come back to Mainland India to work underground.. but people wont look at that! Did Gandhiji also not choosse his timing when to fight with British and when to not?

[@srideepmukherjee6159]

[@saurbhchandel2052]

Take his interview in Hindi so that more people can understand his sayings.

[@ASTROMURTHY]

The real backbone of India lies with their regional original political parties. Delhi Durbar cannot rule at one stroke. The regional aspirations are varied from state to state. They story of rat and frog friendship sets in. We must go separate country and form as European Union.

[@Sunil-b473]

Then who will protect our borders when india is surrounded by enemies in tented to detroy us. I don't expect anything from you. May god keep your dreams as dreams only.

[@mohammediqbal5761]

I don't understand the term pick your Savarkar in the time frame pre 1911 and post 1911 till 1911 he propagates love for the mother land and to oppose and fight for freedom from the British, then when in jail and tortured etc he converts his views and ready to serve them and oppose the freedom fighters to the extent of instigating Indian youth of that time to join the British army during world war two, what does all this action signify let's face it the so called "Intellectuals" know the word for such actions but are white washing the facts and being polite my question is if one joins the armed forces to fight the enemies of one's country, it's a noble act and a righteous act but if that same person changes his/her Loyalties after the realities and inflictions of war and passes on secrets and supports the enemies in whatever means he can, will the Indian army forgive him? My other question is If Shaheed Bhagat Singh had apologized to the British and been forgiven would we have a Bhagat Singh 🤔🤔🤔

[@sevenstars4817]

Now it is not universally accepted m k gandhi but worshipping so called "veer" savarkar and n godse. Now so called intellectuals are advocating abandoning English language, pick savarkar, and so on

[@Lathi33]

didn't gandhi actively recruit Indian soldiers in world war 1 and got a medal for it?

[@shenazhalari8386]

Agreed perceptions are based on value systems however, research based findings should guide opinions and eventually, each one is entitled to his own opinion.

[@designarium1313]

I would recommend Vikram Sampath's book for this theme.

[@Viju4truth]

How come none of the politicians even mention about lowering of the Indian Flag ? - Shame on our Politicians who are only drunk with power & greed ! .

[@sanjayshastry2436]

This was too short.

[@prakashpant6288]

Sir to correct you Tipu Sultan is very much there in the website of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsava compiled by the government of India … plz check again .. there is also glorious mention of his father Haider Ali

[@kroy7158]

All controversy is regenerated due to remarks of Rahul Gandhi that too during Bharat Jodo yatra in Maharashtra. Such controversy should be a voided by Rahul Gandhi when you are on a larger programme of raising issues affecting people now

[@sauron2000000]

BJP gets votes from controversy.

[@mangoesboy]

Controversies are generated by Modi and his followers who always spread hatred and disharmony in the country. They always misused history for their political gains. Alas, you won't beleive what I wrote. 🙏

[@ishankanwar8411]

Well they all are freedom fighters. Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Savarkar all have muds in their shoes too You will find neither of them great.

[@okay850]

NDTV 's favourite chitchat with its gang.lts play time 👹

[@satishvaidya8739]

Something is horribly wrong with Sanket. He keeps calling Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi never Mahatma which still is fine… but then he mentions salutation in letters and compares to Savarkar… he seems lost or willing to digress

[@josethomas10]

He is probably trying to sound "neutral" by referring to them by their official names. He is not using the term "Veer" either.

[@InfinitesimalInfinity]

Who built the seven gates of Thebes? The books are filled with names of kings. Was it the kings who hauled the craggy blocks of stone? And Babylon, so many times destroyed. Who built the city up each time? In which of Lima's houses, That city glittering with gold, lived those who built it? In the evening when the Chinese wall was finished Where did the masons go? Imperial Rome Is full of arcs of triumph. Who reared them up? Over whom Did the Caesars triumph? Byzantium lives in song. Were all her dwellings palaces? And even in Atlantis of the legend The night the seas rushed in, The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves. Young Alexander conquered India. He alone? Caesar beat the Gauls. Was there not even a cook in his army? Phillip of Spain wept as his fleet was sunk and destroyed. Were there no other tears? Frederick the Great triumphed in the Seven Years War. Who triumphed with him? Each page a victory At whose expense the victory ball? Every ten years a great man, Who paid the piper? So many particulars. So many questions. ― Bertolt Brecht

[@GaneshPatil-tu4jp]

Did he deserve to analyze Veer savrkar life? Before 1911 and after 1911 Savarkar both are different? Actually veer savarkar experience the real problem of nation in the jail of Andaman. So this person spoke about sawarkar is just his opinion not fact. If he want to prove his opinion then must produce copy of those letters which wrote by Veer savarkar. Writing in setting ac room and writing in sellular jail is quit different.

[@sauron2000000]

Which person?

[@jacobcheriyan]

Those letters are available in the national archives.

[@asifbhaivahora8102]

So who is Rahul Gandhi to ask if savarkar made alliance with colonizers or liked pension over jail? India believes in world services and he chose to serve white people without any prejudices against them.

[@refarmarak18]

Then who are you to ask Rahul Gandhi, and what's your contribution for the country? What have you done for the country. Can you mention?

[@ssryr6427]

That's why Dr Ambedkar fought elections against Congress from Bhandara district because he questioned parachute freedom fighters of Congress who hijacked freedom for own gain ,you people put Dr Ambedkar ji posters in protests but he was clearly against Muslims accomodation in India after they got Indipendent nation Pakistan. BBC news interview of Dr Ambedkar ji

[@asadabedi9215]

@@ssryr6427 he was never against muslims he was against brahmins he publicly denounced hinduism moreover those 22 vows are very true only brahmins felt assburned.

Savarkar was as much a patriot as Gandhi and Nehru. Indra Gandhi acknowledged this by issuing postal stamp in his honour

[@RashidKhan-bk9hm]

Modern Britain is very different to Britain of Colonies. Also, India was not a country but fragmented monarchies and independent landowners. Britain set the foundations for today's union. Absolutely no harm at all in lowering the flag for the lovely accepting of differences Queen of UK

[@jacobcheriyan]

I agree with you. But the point Sainath made is that, when was the last time when our national flag lowered for our freedom fighter?

[@truth0106]

You are not Bhartiya even.....you follow ideology of Arab and Uzbekistan...we want freedom from you people

[@sordimaizulu6161]

it was the ordinary people who did that... don't banish them from your history....OK this book is not about Savarkar...the book is about who were made this independence possible....OK few simple questions to this author, journilist, intelectual, thinker... Who banished the people you are talking about from the history of India's independence? Why are Gandi and Lehru considered the only freedom fighters? who are those who glorify them and that India's freedom is due to these two people?
