1 An extreme example of the nexus between politicians and industrialists was the removal of RK Talwar as Image
State Bank of India chairman, when Talwar refused to entertain a cement company’s request for loan on grounds of mismanagement, little did he know that the industrialist concerned was a friend of Sanjay Gandhi.

The latter asked the minister of state for finance to make sure
that the loan was granted immediately. But Talwar refused. Gandhi ordered Talwar’s sacking, but there was one problem—under the State Bank of India Act, the chairman could not be removed before the expiry of the term of his office unless they were proven guilty of misconduct.
Upon being told about the clause in the Act, Gandhi ordered amendment of the Act! The amendments were passed during Emergency and Talwar was finally removed.

The most hilarious (though unfortunate) incident involves the visit of an Estimates Committee of Parliament to Mumbai.
As chairman of Bank of India, Vaghul was supposed to be the host of the delegation, led by Bansilal. What followed thereafter is simply unbelievable. Vaghul got directions from the Parliament Secretariat regarding the protocols to be observed.

What stood out was that while
all MPs were to be put up at the Oberoi hotel, Vaghul was supposed to get a no-vacancy certificate from the local hostel for MLAs, where MPs were usually expected to stay.

The instructions emphasised that Bansilal was accustomed to only using Indian toilets, and that The Oberoi
should be instructed to provide one accordingly. Vaghul had to make a special request to the G M of the hotel to provide an Indian toilet in Bansilal’s suite. This meant that Bank of India had to foot the bill for demolition of the western toilet and install an Indian one.
The absurdity didn’t end there. When Vaghul received the delegation at the airport, Bansilal, surrounded by Congress supporters, asked him, “Where am I staying?” On being told that it’s the Oberoi, he lost his temper and started shouting at the top of his voice as to why
public money was being wasted and why wasn’t he put up at the MLA hostel. A confused Vaghul didn’t know how to react. During the drive to the hotel, Bansilal noticed his glum face and asked him not to worry as his outbursts were only for public consumption as he couldn’t afford
to lose his image. This one anecdote shows political hypocrisy at its worst.

Just 2 stories how Congress over the years has used US and OUR MONEY.

We had a Nero while Bharath burnt.

The British after draining out our resources & not to take another chance of Mutiny, had decided to leave Bharath.

They were leaving after cutting Hindustan over religion.

As usual, the particular community took maximum use of this
opportunity to commit all sorts of heinous crimes known to man.

The Nationalists Revolutionaries were protecting Hindu population and Congressmen were voting for Division.

When Bharat was burning, we had a Nero practicing Celibacy Experiments on Innocent Girls.
This was neither forgivable nor pardonable.

MKGs most loyal bhakth was so infuriated that he wrote 2 letters chastising him.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on 25th January 1947, wrote a letter to MK Gandhi...

It is said that Nadir Shah looted Delhi so much that all taxes were eliminated in his home country Persia for the next three years. He looted Peacock throne, Koh-i-Noor diamond and emptied all gems, diamonds and jewellery of the imperial treasury. ImageImage
Sample these words by J. T. Sunderland: "Nearly every kind of manufacture or product known to the civilized world—nearly every kind of creation of man's brain and hand, existing anywhere, and prized either for its utility or beauty—had long been produced in India.
The Mughal Lovers defends them often by claiming that Mughals gave everything to India.
The Christian Apologists claim, they brought Civilisation to India.
How much it is true?

Let's not forget that Maneka and Varun were thrown out of the house by Image

Maneka locked herself in her room till a servant came to her bearing a tray with her food on it.

2 is Conveniently Erased

Thread 🧵 on the 1st and the only Malayali Congress President who took the fight against British in ImageImage
Queens backyard.

Immediately after Jallianwalabagh, Sir C. Sankaran Nair writes in his autobiography: “Almost every day I was receiving complaints, personal and by letters, of the most harrowing description of the massacre at Jallianwalla Bagh at Amritsar and the martial law Image
administration & I found that Lord Chelmsford [the Viceroy] approved of what was being done in Punjab. That, to me, was shocking.”

The effects of his resignation were immediate. Censorship of the press was immediately abolished and martial law in Punjab was terminated.
