When #Bose reached #Tilak residence @kunalstilak @anujdhar #lokmanyabalgangadhartilak #TilakJayanti
“A man of profound erudition and unbounded courage and sacrifice,” as Subhas Chandra Bose described him, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak was born this day in 1856. Bose also said Tilak was “the only possible rival of Mr Gandhi”. #lokmanyabalgangadhartilak #TilakJayanti
India Lied to You? Was Gumnami Baba Really Netaji Bose? India’s Greatest... youtu.be/B8JTByV8YUg?si… via @YouTube @AshishMalviyaIF
I find it hard to believe that a special correspondent from @IndiaToday / @aajtak should have accused me of "conveniently" hiding something that i myself posted back in February! The "real documents" that he touts as a great finding by him were also shared by me. I never hid…
Let me write facts that you conveniently hid. After Bhagat Singh's mother sought financial assistance, Nehru govt immediately released a one time payment of Rs 1000 that time. This was separate from the monthly pension from the state govt. Attaching real documents for your ref.

You need to differentiate between imagination and history. The process of raising the Indian Legion in Europe didn’t start before 1942. Netaji started his operations in SE Asia around June 1943. Savarkar started his recruitment campaign before that for entirely different reasons.…
@chandrachurg 🙏 Denying Savarkar's contribution to INA (during war/post war) is an exaggeration. Below are the crucial bullets on his alignment with INA. 1. Under the Savarkar's "Militarization" strategy, people joined british army with INA. Cont... (1/4) @anujdhar @csanec
Some people also believe that the first man to land on moon was inspired by Savarkar. Subhas Bose himself was vocal against caste/community barriers and what he did with the INA had nothing to do with Savarkar. Savarkar was a great man, don’t belittle him by these kind of…
Sahbhojan at it's militant best. INA soldiers having their meal from the same kitchen, forgetting all caste barriers and forging together the sole identity of Free Hindustanis and warriors. No doubt, Savarkar's idea of reforms reverberated everywhere.
The Congress wanted to merge Bengal with Bihar in 1956. Dr BC Roy, CM of Bengal, and Srikrishna Sinha, CM of Bihar, issued a joint statement on #Netaji's birthday. Nehru lauded the statement as an example of great leadership. Indeed, a phenomenal expression of Bengali nationalism…
Truth be told, among all the parties, it is the BJP under PM Modi that has given most respect to Netaji and his legacy. @chandrachurg
When the Bangla-Birodhi @BJP4India insults the Bangla language , it insults all these proud sons of Bengal.
Thank you @RatanSharda55 ji for your detailed response. You say you agree partially with my criticism, but I can’t see any point of difference. We seem to agree on almost all the points. I have no problem with Palkar’s biography of Dr Hedgewar. If we accept reminiscences of the…
Chandrachur ji, I agree with your criticism partially, not completely. I don't agree that Dr Hedgewar's biography needs references without which it has no value. Palkar is the authentic biographer. He has given many references and he had lived through those times. Most of old…

Just started reading Conundrum by @chandrachurg & @anujdhar — compelling, sharp, and deeply researched. It pulls you into the mystery and makes you want to dig more. Very few books have influenced me this way — alongside Freedom at Midnight, Five Past Midnight in Bhopal, and Open…
