Ramachandra Guha on BJP, Tipu, Savarkar and Karnataka| No Filter with Dhanya Rajendran

Historian and author Ramachandra Guha speaks on how historical figures are being weaponised in Karnataka. He asks whether the elections should address the issues people face now rather than speak about rulers who lived centuries ago. He tells Dhanya Rajendran that while Narendra Modi is like Indira Gandhi on steroids, BS Yeddyurappa is almost a Congressman.

There is no gainsaying that Tipu was an ideological destroyer of Hindus in Malabar. All the atrocities that he organised there had little to do with territorial occupation. What a tyrant he was to the Mangalore Catholics and the Mandyam Iyengars. But in Malabar he was very vocal in his ideological motivation. You cannot be selectively loyal to humaneness and to the national cause.

@@rajkrishnan3651 If you love liberalism and secularism and humanism, they you don't tolerate Islam anywhere in your midst. Islam's official doctrine is to eliminate, wipe out, persecute non-monotheistic religions. Any Muslim in Karnataka who doesn't condemn the Qur'an which only allows protection of monotheistic faiths (Christianity and Judaism) should be thrown out of India. We are so stupid for putting up with them. It took centuries for Muslims in Persia to say, "Well..... okay maybe we can include Zoorastrianism as a religion of the book".. Why does it have to take them such a long time to realise that persecuting Jews is wrong and persecuting Zoroastrians is also equally wrong? When they realise this is, it's too late; Zoorastrianism has been nearly eliminated. Only Muslims and Christians who condemn the genocidal doctrines imbedded in their religions and commit to identifying as Sanātanis should remain in India. (Of course, they can worship whichever Jesus or Allah they want to; but they must not condone their scriptures.)

[@deepikastraveldiaries]

@@Jeyakumar-hs9zr well ur statement itself doesn't make sense, u speaking of Church n Mosque. In both these anyone who wants to be a Father/ Brother Mother/sister in Christianity and being a Moulvi in Muslim can do so by taking up that responsibility without any caste discrimination they learn there practices n they perform their prayers. But in Hindus we see only one community who are allowed close to the deity for the prayers to be recited. Can a person from a lower caste be trained on mantras n enter the garbagudi (holy sanatorium) And even today many ppl from the lower sect of life are ill treated by the so called elite community. So in such case y are the elite's cribbing abt quota. They want to perform prayers n consider them closer to God n above others, and also if someone is getting benefits because the elite's are misbehaving n have rights to safe guard their lives that should also not be given because the elite want that part of their benefit too.

When you look at Karnataka, the formation of Karnataka is not similar to the other southern states. It was formed by amalgamation of different provinces, 'The Mumbai Presidency and the Madras Presidency', the Mysore State and the Nizam ruled Karnataka. With the influx of all cultures, it is pluralistic. It might be a reason why Karnataka politics is different from the other southern states. The cultural influences becomes an easy task for BJP to actually look at it as an experiment that works according to their plan.

Otherwise Ambedkar had great respect for Gandhis humanism and his efforts to involve the masses in the freedom movement which till Tilak had remained confined to the cabal of minuscule oppressing castes oligarchy who shamelessly and hypothetically continued to oppress the bahujan majority with casteism and in the same breath had the audacity to declare’freedom is my birthright’ …..

[@123xyzabccba]

29:50; Guha is absolutely on dot when he says ‘history should excite and shld be taught with reference to all dimensions’. All along we have been taught that the british used divide and rule policy to rule over india but it’s not ever told that due to the already existing caste structure and casteism the indian society remained fractured since thousands of years providing ideal ground for defeat and enslavement by all and sundry. History teaching also has regional bias with all focus on the north and ignoring the south and other regions….There’s just a passing reference made to the kingdoms of the south particularly. Instead of analysing the socio-economic dimensions of various conflicts history teaching revolves only around battles.

[@drevil5066]

The British have a population of approx 65 million today. India has a population of 1.4 billion. When the British ruled India, India's population was around 320 million - about 5 times that of Britain today. At no point of time were there more than 300,000 British in India (administrators and soldiers included). How the fuck is it that 300,000 British ruled 320 million Indians for 200 years?? How much can one really 'divide and rule'? Any decently sized province should have been able to defeat the British with every possiible advantage of home-turf. Shows that Indians were either bloody cowardly or bloody stupid, or both. Either way, you can''t 're-write' that history.
