Re: [IAC#RG] Real Leaders or fake Gandhis ?

Dear Kiran

That history is a small part of Bipan Chandra's history"India's Struggle for Independence"  (PDF - 4 Mb), (which of course must be read keeping the author's ideological leanings / wanderings firmly in mind)

Dear IAC subscribers

After polling has concluded in 3 states, Delhi (the National Capital of India) goes to the polls tomorrow. Tomorrow will see an epic battle which has taken 4 years of planning by Congress Party tacticians to ensure that Ms. Sonia Gandhi gets a perfect birthday gift on 9.Dec.2013 to add to her (so secret that Indians are not to know about them) riches which outshine even those of the Queen of England

IAC and HRA humbly invites each and every person who reads this email to go out and vote. It is completely immaterial to us who you vote for - because all the alternatives on the ballot are equally bad and are ''status-quo" options. Each and every one of the parties seeking your vote for Delhi are massively foreign financed by foreign State funding to ensure that India forever remains a client state for arms, oil and other technologies.

HRA wants you to realise, if you haven't already, that voting is a sheer waste of time because there are hardly any honest and patriotic people left in politics. Even if there were, they get corrupted very fast. You cannot be a saint in a brothel. Be warned that this time the RED NOTA BUTTON is a fraud designed to make you waste your vote so that the foreigners can keep ruling us.

As even your 1 vote is important for India, please do me 1 small favour and read a brief history of the real Indian Independence movement which is linked. Suneeti Chaudhury, mentioned in the last para,  who shot the District Magistrate in Commilla in 1931 is a great-grand-aunt of mine, and it is their heritage which we honor when we vote to take back our respect, our adult franchise, and our country. 

I would like to end with an extract from this history which should remind us in Delhi that those who don't learn from history are forever doomed to repeat it.

"Soon after, the National Congress launched the non-cooperation movement and on the urging of Gandhiji, C.R. Das and the other leaders most of the revolutionaries either joined the movement or suspended their own activities. But the sudden suspension of the non-cooperation movement left them disillusioned. They were not attracted by the parliamentary politics of the swarajists. Many were drawn to the idea that violent methods alone could free India.

Thus it is not accidental that nearly all the major new leaders of the revolutionary terrorist politics, for example, Jogesh Chandra Chatterjea, Surya Sen, Jatin Das, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Shiv Verma, Bhagwati Charan Vohra and Jaidev Kapur, had been enthusiastic participants of the non-cooperation movement. Gradually two separate strands of revolutionary terrorism developed - one in Punjab, U.P. and Bihar and other in Bengal.

The revolutionaries in northern India were the first to emerge out of the mood of frustration and reorganize under the leadership of the old veterans, Ramprasad Bismil, Jogesh Chatterjea and Sachindranath Sanyal whose Bandi Jiwani served as a textbook to the revolutionary movement. They met in Kanpur in October 1924 and founded the Hindustan Republican Association (or Army) to organize armed revolution to overthrow colonial rule and establish in its place a Federal Republic of the United States of India whose basic principle would be adult franchise."
