Godse was released because of Gandhi's 'Long-standing policy of refusing to press criminal charges'. Image
Another big LIE: “Godse surrendered after assassinating Gandhi in 1948."

FACT: Raghunath Nayak from Odisha worked as a gardener at Birla House. Nayak chased and pinned down Godse, till the police arrested him. 5/5

Sardar Patel was one of the first Indian leaders to agree to the idea of partition in 1946. Gandhi & Nehru accepted the idea of partition only by Mid-1947.

A reminder that “585 Indian revolutionaries” were jailed in Andaman's Cellular Jail by the British between 1909 - 1938.

173 Indian revolutionaries died in this dreaded Jail and 99.7 % of them never wrote any mercy petitions.
81% revolutionaries (493 Indians) in Cellular Jail were from Bengal Presidency & Punjab Province.

Legends like Sushil Das Gupta, Trailokyanath Chakravarty, Batukeshwar Dutt, Ganesh Ghosh and Ambika Chakrabarty spent 8-13 years in this jail and they never wrote mercy petitions. Image

The main aim of “One Nation, One Election” is to kill Federalism and regional Parties.

If elections are held together, regional & local issues will be brushed under the carpet & regional parties will lose influence.

The move only benefits BJP and RSS, and Hindi imposition. 1/5
What's my source?

A data-based analysis by Praveen Chakravarty points to the fact that when Union and state elections were held simultaneously, between 1999 and 2014, there was a 77% chance that voters choose the same political party.

2/5
“One Nation, One Election” would favour larger national parties than regional/smaller parties and it would destroy India’s cherished multi-party system.

The absence of regional parties will mean that regional concerns are left without a voice at the decision-making table. 3/5

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine."

Today, 14th June, marks what would have been Ernesto "Che" Guevara's 95th Birthday.

Che Guevara's legacy lives on in the fight against injustice and imperialism across the world. ImageImageImageImage
In Jan 1952, a 24 year old Che Guevara (a doctor from a privileged family) travelled across Latin America on a motorcycle and his life changed when he met the Indigenous population of Peru.

He then left his job, family and his love and went to Gautemala in 1953. Image
In Peru, Che & Alberto saw the wretched poverty endured by indigenous people, who were treated as second-class citizens.

“These people who watch us walk through the streets of the town are a defeated race,” Che wrote. Image

The Hindu population of the Travancore Kingdom, which extended from Kanyakumari in the South to Piravom in North, was 83% in 1816.

After 110 years, the Hindu population of Travancore fell to 61.5% in 1931.

Why? Kerala had the worst caste system in the Indian subcontinent. 1/5 Image
This is one area of Kerala's history that both the Sanghis and Liberals willfully ignore.

Casteism in Kerala was one of the worst in British India. And in the 1941 census, the Hindu population again went down to 60.21%.

2/5
What happened in Travancore between 1816-1931?

Channar Revolt 1830s.
Malayali Memorial in 1891.
