E Sreedharan today praised the Congress and Muslim League leaders in Kerala and called Pinarayi an Authoritarian. 🤣
A typical RW Malayali, blindly hates Communists & Lower Caste leaders. Ask any BJP supporter in Kerala and they would prefer a Congress government in Kerala.
Since becoming CM of Kerala in 2016, Pinarayi Vijayan has faced casteist remark 7 times. BJP & INC always mention him as the 'son of a lower caste Ezhava Toddy tapper' while criticising him.
"If Oommen Chandy becomes the chief minister, certainly I'll be very happy because he and other UDF leaders are gentlemen. I have great respect for Chandy, Chennithala and Kunhalikutty."
The same Golwalkar also mocked Bhagat Singh in the Bunch of Thoughts by saying that his martyrdom was not supreme sacrifice and such persons shouldn't be held up as ideals in our society. He also admired the German Race purity theory.
"Germany has also shown how well nigh impossible it is for Races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by."
These quotes are easily available. Just Google them.
“In this land Hindus have been the owners, Parsis and Jews the guests, and Muslims and Christians the dacoits.”
"Communists, Muslims & Christians are the external threats."
The liberal image of Vajpayee was first unmasked by CPI leader Indrajit Gupta in 1996, during the debate on a confidence motion in the Indian Parliament. The Communist leader was talking about Nellie.
But no one remembers Indrajit Gupta now. Short term memory breeds Fascism.
"The nation was made aware of it during the debate on a confidence motion that the 13-day Vajpayee government had moved in 1996. The CPI leader Indrajit Gupta quoted from the speech Vajpayee had made during the 1983 election campaign in Assam."
Balai Chand Dutt (BC Dutt) was the man who triggered the 1946 Royal Naval Mutiny. Today BC Dutt has been erased from Indian History.
A 23-year-old Dutt persuaded his comrades to join the revolt, commencing on February 18th 1946, with a hunger strike on the Ship 'HMIS Talwar'.
Within three days, the revolt spread to nearly 75 others ships and nearly 20,000 Indians sailors joined the Mutiny.
Karachi, Bombay, Kochi, Madras and Vizag were the focal points of the Mutiny. Indian Sailors began offered left-handed salutes to British superior officers.
