Long Read..

On his death anniversary, I wanted to write something good about #SanjayGandhi, dropped that idea within few minutes... Life had other plans for dynasty, Nehru eliminated Dr S P Mookherjee and on the same date 27 years later, KARMA hit back.

Sanjay, who virtually

ran the country along with mother Indira was a SCHOOL DROP-OUT.

"My son is a delicate young man, and with whatever money & energy he has, he has modelled a car, not a posh one, but one fairly comfortable, suitable to Indian conditions... My son has shown enterprise and I just

could not say no to him... if he is not encouraged, how can I ask other young men to take risks"?
Indira Gandhi at a Press conference, September 1970.

By giving up her power to her beloved son Sanjay, Indira first institutionalised dynasty politics within Indian democracy,

Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, set out on his last & fateful journey from Delhi railway station at 6.30 a.m. on 8 May 1953.
His slogan, “Ek desh mein do vidhan, do pradhan, aur do nishan nahi chalenge”, became the hallmark of the movement that

stirred throughout India starting in 1948, peaking in 1952, and sustaining till his controversial death in captivity in 1953.
Had it not been for SPM, not only India’s legacy, independent India’s geography too would have been remarkably different. More likely than not, the state

of Punjab would have been part of Pakistan and the state of West Bengal would have been part of Bangladesh. This may sound exaggerated, but it is part of documented history. If this sounds exaggerated, that’s because of Dr Mookerjee’s marginalisation in popular renderings of

On this day in 1991,
P. V. Narasimha Rao was sworn in as the ninth Prime Minister of India.
PVNR inherited India which was on verge of economic, social and territorial disaster
We were on verge on bankruptcy as we had to pledge gold to pay for oil.
We were a hugely divided

society with mandal leading to caste clashes
Punjab was on verge of disintegration with Khalistanis
Kashmir was in clutch of jih@dis
Tamilnadu was full of LTTE.
Under these situations, He Brought In The Reforms ...

SINCE, his last name was not Gandhi & had a mind of his own

Antonio Maino could never forgive him.

After his term as PM was over, PVN was dumped unceremoniously from the post of the Congress party president. Maino’s wrath did not spare PVN even after his death.
His mortal remains were not allowed to even enter the AICC office building.

Did somebody said YMCA is Secular?

Here's the excerpts from
A STUDY OF THE Y.M.C.A OF
INDIA, BURMA & CEYLON, made as an integral part of the International Survey

BY
DR; A. E. HOLT in 1933.

This same document has laid down the Few major lines of inquiry to serve as guides

for the several national surveys...

1 In what respects is the present work of the national Associations indigenous to those areas to which the North American Associations have gone, and to what extent have the North American elements
become naturalized in those areas.

2 We would recommend the transferring of such work as can now be carried on by other agencies, and the strengthening
of those areas in which the Y.M.C.A. can make a definite and unique contribution to the building of Christian character. We
would recommend that no new work

I do not know what Indira saw in him, but unofficially, every congress old timer knows Mohammed Yunus was father of Sanjay Gandhi.
Every paragraph in this thread will shake you and make you realize how much we lost to keep her bedventures, a secret.
On this day in 2001, died an

IFS Diplomat of Pak origin, close aide of Khan Abdul Gafar Khan & after independence got close to Nehru & subsequently his daughter Indira Gandhi Alias Maimuna Begum.
“This Mohammad Yunus was the man to openly cry his heart out when Sanjay Gandhi was killed in a plane crash.

He had in fact, admitted in his book ‘Persons, Passions and Politics’ that his son, Sanjay Gandhi was actually raised in terms of Islamic principles, and even circumcised accordingly.” (ISBN 10:0706910176)
How many of you knew that Indira planned to escape from India, but the
