What is common between Govind Ballabh Pant and P. C. Joshi ? Let’s see if there is any history buff in my TL.
Answer: Both Pant & Joshi are from Almora currently in Uttarakhand, went to Allahabad University, close to Nehru, served as instruments of British imperialism at Tripuri Cong & helped thwart the Quit India Subhas Babu proposed in 1939
The above also show how small social & familial cliques from the same region control power across parties with seemingly disparate political ideology & collude with imperialists
P. C. Joshi was the longest serving general secretary of CPI, Nehru was Communist minded Congressman, Pant was lifelong Congressman, yet the trio formed a close social & political clique which colluded with British imperialism
To complete the story, Govind Ballabh Pant's daughter in law Ila Pant became a BJP-RSS MP. Regardless of party, some families always remain in power
