Calcutta, historically, an imperial city with deep water ports like Kidderpore Docks & a navigable river, was the industrial & business capital of the Asia Pacific region, several times the size of Hong Kong & Singapore. Asia’s largest companies & banks were headquartered here👇

Lyons Range hosted d stock exchange & the offices of leading insurance companies. The entire area of Dalhousie & Fairley Place contained the stalwarts of Indian business with names like Martin Burn, Andrew Yule, Bird & Company, Garden Reach, Jessops, Murphy Radio & several 👇

businesses across the spectrum from ship building to mining. The tragedy is not that all of this was subsequently destroyed , the tragedy is that it can never be rebuilt.& that's what happened to Calcutta since the 1970s, particularly under Jyoti Basu, Bengal’s erstwhile CM 👇

Interestingly, our RAW officers had already managed to find out details of how & where exactly their nukleer weapon was developed. As per protocol, RAW approached d then PM Morarji Desai to seek approval of funds for a covert operation through which they could bribe some of the👇

moles in Pakistan in exchange for d complete blueprint of their nukleer project, which could then be used by India to its advantage. But to the utter surprise Morarji Desai rebuked them for "poking their nose unnecessarily into other countries" & ordered them to follow Gandhian👇

Dalits are uncivilized, so they shouldn't be considered as Hindus! A member of d team Moulana Mahommad Ali who later joined & became a leader of d Khilafat movement said dt if Dalits can be seperated from d Hindus, they will become a legitimate prey for Muslim aggrandizement.👇

Most of the narratives about Modi's rise has been about his role as tea maker in RSS office,& eventually as event organizer. But one particlar aspect which many tend to overlook, is his creative contributions to RSS/BJP as a "Voice Artist" for the party's media management team.👇

@narendramodi

Thanks to his deep voice & oratory skills right from his younger days, @narendramodi was handpicked by the top brass for various voice recordings which could in turn be used as election campaign material to reach out to masses. In fact, during every election👇

Modi used to spend hours and days at recording studios to produce tons of audio tapes in multiple Indian languages, sometimes filled with emotionally strong messages which struck a chord with the masses, and thus helped the party garner support during the early 80s.👇
