Independent Bharath is hidden In The Lines Of The Preface.
In view of the extensive changes which are now being made under the new Government of India Act, it is necessary to study Indian political, economic and social problems in a new light. It is the spirit and intention
4
of the Act to prepare the country for full responsible government, and it should certainly be the endeavour of the people to remove at once every stumbling block from their path and to take the most complete advantage of this new opportunity.
The Indian mind needs to be
5
familiarized with the principles of modern progress, a universal impulse for inquiry and enterprise awakened, and earnest thinking and effort promoted. By these and other means a new type of Indian citizenship— progressive, and self-respecting— should be created, and a
6
Self Reliant nationhood developed.

This book seeks to indicate, however imperfectly, the avenues towards reconstruction now open. It attempts, in a constructive spirit, to outline a scheme of true national life, and for the high task of achievement invites co-operation from all parties. The author may claim
8
some measure of administrative experience, as he has spent many years in the service of the British Government in India and in leading Indian States. He has, on several occasions, travelled outside India for the purpose of obtaining first-hand knowledge of world conditions
9
and problems. The book has had to be written whilst away from home and under other difficulties. The author is indebted to several friends and assistants for material help in its preparation.

Born in 1855, Karan Thapar’s paternal grandfather was Diwan Bahadur Kunj Behari Thapar of Lahore. He belonged to a section of the Punjabi elite that
came into new wealth as commission agents for the British.
Kunj Behari Thapar was also one of four people, including Umar Hayat Khan, Chaudhary Gajjan Singh & Rai Bahadur Lal Chand, who donated Rs 1.75 lakh to the fund of Punjab governor Sir Michael O’Dwyer — the man who backed
the actions of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Kunj Behari Thapar was also awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1920 for his loyalty.
Kunj Behari Thapar had three sons — Daya Ram, Prem Nath and Pran Nath — as well as

Cold-blooded massacre happened at #Jallianwalabagh.
It was Sunday & around 15,000 Hindu’s, Sikh's of Amritsar were celebrating their new year Baisakhi at the 7 acre park.
It was evening & the British came with around 90 foot soldiers & the 1st thing
they did was to close the only exit of the park.
The British under the orders of Acting Brigadier Reginald Dyer took positions & started Indiscriminate Shooting..
They shot till their ammunition was finished & didn't stop even for a second in between.
While around 1000+ people
died due to shooting, around 200+ people died when they fell into the deep well while escaping the bullets.
The youngest was a 7 month infant..
The estimates says around 1200 people were massacred & 8000 people were injured..

On her 152nd birth anniversary, let us revisit a tragedy called #KasturbaGandhi.
The First Image is Kasturba Washing Gandhi’s Feet.
Bharatiya History witnessed two Over Hyped characters; both of them treated their wives with utmost contempt not acceptable to humanity.
They were
Gandhi and Nehru.
The Real Gandhi MISTREATED his family, Once he wrote a letter and I quote
"I simply cannot bear to look at Ba's face, the expression is often like that of a meek cow and that in her own dump manner she is saying something".
Born on April 11, 1869 at Porbander,
Kasturba was elder to Gandhi by 6 months, she married Mohandas with whom she played since her childhood.
The person whom she married was a SEXUALLY OVERDRIVEN husband who later took celibacy without her consent.
Infact, MK Gandhi left Kasturba in 1908 for Hermann Kallenbach,

Bankim Chandra Chatterjee – An Author/Reformer
In this thread/post, I’m deliberating the characters of the women in his novels and in the end leave the choice to readers for judgement.
Was he Communal/Patriarchal as claimed by WOKE’s?
Bankim Chandra’s early literary efforts
were produced in verse. In 1853, he brought out two volumes of poems entitled Lalita and Manasi, but after this Bankimchandra discarded poetry for fiction. Under the influence of the contemporary craze for writing in English, his first novel, Rajmohan’s Wife (1864)
Bishabriksha
(1873) is his first social novel which centres on the plight of widows.
Krishnakanter Uil (1878) is a realistic social novel and revolves around a widow’s socially inhibited love and its grim tragedy.
Bankim wrote in the preface to Krishnakanter Uil that, “novels are expositions
