The Untold History of Indian National Congress: A Mega Series - Episode 1: Founded by a Foreigner

#indiannationalcongress #congress #congresshistory
This is the first episode of a mega series of Podcasts exploring the comprehensive history of the Indian National Congress. Apart from the official version of the history of the Congress written by Pattabhi Sitaramayya, there exists no comprehensive and objective history of an organisation that repeatedly claims that it brought freedom to India from British rule.
This mega series of Podcasts is a small attempt at offering such an objective history drawn from primary sources including but not limited to official Congress and British documents.
The opening episode gives a brief historical backdrop to the founding of the Indian National Congress by a Scotsman named Alan Octavian Hume.
Overall, both the mega series and this episode is a must watch for anyone who wants to gain an in-depth and factual understanding of the full trajectory of the Indian National Congress.

My late father used to get so pissed off by the Gandhi family claim that India became free because of Nehru only, India progresses only because of Nehru, Gandhi family rule as if without them India would return to medieval period. He was also pissed off by the naming of airports, universities, stadiums, ports, hospitals etc after the Gandhi families only as if there were no other great names or leaders in India.

[@amolsapkal16]

What about RSS contribution in Independance of India ? How many RSS leaders went to Jail for freedom struggle? What's the Name of RSS freedom fighter?

[@odhip3851]

​@@amolsapkal16 You mean, why RSS didn't partake in British collaborator Gandhi's "nonviolence" charade? Dunderheads can try wishing away their contribution all they like, but history's replete with stories of sacrifices made by Swayamsevaks such as Ramakant Despande and Hemu Kalani for our freedom. All that from an organization that was in its infancy during independence. Your turn: Why were Nehru and Duratma accommodated in places like the Aga Khan palace, instead of real jails, and allowed to write theses while there if they were real threats to the British?

[@prao7668]

In fact those two have ruined the country.

[@shirshendughosh5900]

This type of lecture series should happen in premium institutions of Bharat like JNU and others…

[@sbanj]

Very informative. Actually during 1857 gadar British faced immense killings though at the end they won but they were very scared about Bhartiya resistance so they wanted a safety valve things to diverge Bhartiya resistance. That's what my understanding of the events were.

[@bhupindersinghkanwar5681]

Dividing among caste religion languages colour gender were theirs design to fkk all

[@rjvkshl]

As a person who hates the Xongress, I'm loving these podcasts.

[@chaitanyakada1341]

Founded by the British Funded by the Chinese Currently run by the Italians In collaboration and in bed with the Islamists Hell bent on dividing Hindus and eliminating Hindu civilisation. Tolerated by foolish Hindus in the name of SECULARISM !!!

[@KGBhat]

Didn't realise that the history of Congress was to be swallowed with a fistful of salt or sugar... Your series on Indian history was superb.Thank God that I am a science student so didn't study contamination of the subject..

[@subodhsingh9533]

Hot blood from proudly bumping heart.Salute to the spirit of Mr.Sandeep.

[@prashanthkk7875]

This is the need of the hour .Thank you DD❤

[@shrutimishra252]

Already know it's gonna be an amazing one👍

[@DharmaDispatch]

Thanks!

[@thenationalist8845]

Very important Topic Thanks for Mega series 🙏 ​@@DharmaDispatch

[@dipakchakraborty3322]

Very good and subtle analysis of history, eye-opening and knowledgeable. Waiting for next episodes.

[@vkulin]

We require all these discussions in regional languages..so that it can have desired effect

[@taneemtaha4230]

Gr8t Going!! ❤

[@itiha]

Pattabhi Sitaramayya was a close disciple of Gandhi, he even lost the Congress President election to Netaji. I'm not surprised he included these omissions in the official Congress history book 📚 Great talk, I hope you put multiple cameras and make it two way conversations. Just a suggestion for optics. Looking forward to future episodes on this topic 😅

[@sanjaykumarsrivastav]

Very relevant discussion, keep it up.

[@anand-_-]

Great! Keep it up. Every series is right step in right direction. Thanks

[@DharmaDispatch]

Thank you!

[@sandeepy7ec288]

[@creedofidea]

Thanks for the conversation. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

[@Maverick-zo4kc]

You exposed KHANgress to the core. Kudos to you.

[@koundinyasa]

Thank you so much for your efforts

[@tapanjoshi7710]

Great Video as always, The content you present is thorough and much needed! A minor suggestion Id like to give is that you guys should standardize the place and the way you shoot the podcast. The different frames and the lighting each episode doesnt help establish a solid image for your podcast.

[@subodhsarin4247]

Great!!!

[@satvirsindhu6757]

Sandeep ji, you are doing a great job. Salute you.

[@DharmaDispatch]

Thanks!

[@arvindlaxman9347]

I hate what the empire did but I do have a new found respect for their mastery of realpolitik!

[@jvsuryanarayana]

An act of great significance for us, to know who really Congress people are. I know that Sir Allan Octavian Hume, an ICS Civil Servant, was responsible for the formation of a Body of people who will work WITH the British to improve the condition of India.

[@laxmankumardas719]

Good effort educating true history.

[@treeoflife666]

Allan Octavian Hume, CB ICS was a British political reformer, ornithologist, civil servant and botanist who worked in British India, who founded the party Indian National Congress. He supported the idea of self-governance by Indians. Wikipedia Born: June 4, 1829, London, United Kingdom Died: July 31, 1912 (age 83 years), London, United Kingdom Organizations founded: Indian National Congress, Early Nationalists, National Congress, South London Botanical Institute Party: Indian National Congress Education: East India Company College, University College Hospital Children: Maria Jane Burnley

[@bhupindersinghkanwar5681]

Why he need somuch compassion for self rule

[@rangersanbharatheeyan8778]

Self rule, 😂😂 a rule by brown SAHEBS but under the strings of white SAHEBS 💪✌️👌👍🙏😭😭😭 what an great idea sir ji😂😂😂😂😂

[@porchelviramr4404]

Thanks

[@rg7980]

That is one part. We need more research into how the policies of the party has shifted the demography of the many states and how the policies helped dilution of the civilizarional aspects of Bharat. For instatnce, they had enacted IMDT Act for Assam which made it impossible to detect and deport illegal immigrants.

RSS contribution during freedom struggle - please make video on this topic

[@user-lm2nc6hj7b]

I never liked INC (Indian Nationals for China) since my birth. I will continue to do so till my death.

[@bengaluruhuduga5890]

Surendranath Sen not banarjee, his famous book India: Making of a Nation.

[@SHRAVNITHA1]

And Bengalis have not changed till date in either their deracination or "secular" outlook. What can explain Bengali Hindus' stony silence to the oppression and brutal treatment of their fellow Hindus in Bangladesh.

[@S_VivekAnand]

Sirs, On The basis of the British ruled parts & the princely states, can we 🤔infer🤔 that Sri pappuG is using this reality to declare that 🇮🇳 is a union of states❓❓❓❓❓

[@gcs-te5hu]

Now we know why Gandhi called for AHIMSA during struggle for freedom..he just made Indians silent and soft with his Ahimsa principle😅

[@aprameya6623]

British East Indian Congress Party unofficially 😅

[@aprameya6623]

London now getting a taste of Sharia democracy 😅

[@aprameya6623]

The Britishers were savages like the Islamic invaders.

[@TheOggy1988]

Please make a detailed video on RSS linked BJP. If you have enough gut.

[@arunmishra8842]

It does not require gut MrOrgy It just requires appreciation of what is in the national interest

[@ivarhakuse8572]

I’d be interested to know the role played by the Theosophists and Annie Besant in the initial formation of the Congress. Were they genuine well wishers of Bharat or playing a role dictated by the crown? I think that this is a great venture, but I feel that often you allow us to read between the lines of certain statements made by the speaker which means that you are assuming viewers to know certain facts or details without them being spelled out. It’s difficult to give examples because it would be time consuming for me to go back, relisten and pick examples out. However, I feel that you need to treat the audience as a clean slate and explain as if we were totally ignorant novices. Please don’t assume we know, a safer assumption is you take us as being clueless. Because Sandeep is addressing you, he knows of things you might be alert to but we are not. He needs to therefore treat you as a total novice as well and explain as he might to a young child of let’s say 10 - 12 yrs old. Look forward to the next part.

[@S_VivekAnand]

Sirs How was motilal Nayhayruu the father of Nawab Zavaharlal Nayhayruu 🫔 wrapped🫔 inseparably into the fold of the👹Khan👹Gray👹Arse❓❓❓❓

Please call Evil Congress from phase 4

[@shirshendughosh5900]

W C Bonnerjii was so ashamed of his religion that he converted himself to Christianity..

[@arunmishra8842]

Not only that he changed the spelling of his name from Umesh to Womesh He completely obliterated his identity, he was not himself, he was a deception of himself just as the congress is deception for lies and falsehoods and deracination

[@OooooooooO93]

Kon dala h jisko congress ne kaise desh ko becha itna bhi nahi pata. Paise le kr khud ko sell. Krdete h log.

[@nandananraghu4756]

We now don't want to know the untold history of non existent INC. INC dies many decades ago and the so called Congress is the Indira Congress born somewhere in 1978. So what is the use of hearing about a non existent entity at all.

[@parthaghosh3676]

Your comments of First War of Independence appears to be superficial. There was no such war where Indians fought against the Britishers. A few kings/queens/nawabs whose interests were at stake came together to fight against the Btitish to save their interests. Rest of India was mute spectator (even this is overstatement, nobody really bothered). Please don't glorify 1857 war. Regards.

[@dewendrapratapsingh2803]

May be you are more informed than Savarkar who wrote his book -1857 mutiny :first war of freedom - but you cannot dictate not to glorify. Put thorough account to deny the proposed glorification.

[@mangajperfectsharad]

What about naming Largest Stadium in the world in Ahmedabad as Narendra Modi Stadium instead of Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium A Memorial in the name of living PM😂

[@prabhakarannayar9697]
