Nehru and Women

---

---

The relation of Jwahar Lal Nehru with different women is subject of intense study among the scholars. There is a question which ask that was the decision of Nehru at any stage influenced by his relation with the women. The second angle is mainly morbid in nature but that attracts the attention of the gossip groups and third page writers. In India, the men women relation of the leading personality is not discussed openly. Here is the news which are related to above mentioned discussions. It interest the people of history as strongly as it can be with other groups.
The report has talked about mother Swaroop Rani, wife Kamala Nehru, daughter Indira, sisters Vijayalakshmi Pandit and Krishna Huteesingh and nieces Chandralekha, Nayantara and Rita and family friend Padmaja Naidu as well as between Indira Gandhi and Naidu, and finally Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten. Well apart from that, there are many other women who had been a focus of the study of historians.

Elite talking history Phulkian Versus Sindhawalia

Refer to the following report.

Amarinder Talks about his family

S Amarinder Singh is an ex-CM of Punjab and descendant of rulers of Patiala. The following report is a journalistic report talking nothing much except the usual stuff. However, the person who is the author he is definitely a part of history and directly related to Maharaja Ranjit Singh also.

The blogger had learnt that the family library of Amarinder Singh contains such documents which had hidden many secret not only from pre-colonial period but also from post independence period. Hence, this report is a befitting selection for reviving posting which had remained suspended for long only because of long and erratic electric supply in Punjab where only British ruled. (The Indian Punjab remained outside the control of Lahore Darbar after the Amritsar Treaty of 1809 between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Metcalfe).

As the topic taken in report is highly controversial as why the Punjab was annexed by Dalhousie after the Anglo-Sikh war, the issue is of Conspiracy History which sadly not undertaken seriously in India. But in the report, those events had been mentioned which had been behind the final annexation of Punjab.

History Coming Alive in News Through Theft Cases

---

This is another way that History is coming into news. A watch gifted to Ex Prime Minister, Late Lal Bhadur Shastri by Alexei Kosygin of Russia when he was in Tashkent Conference in 1966 is stolen.

Sometime back, the Nobel Prize medal awarded to Guru Rabindranath Tagore was stolen. The case was given to CBI but it was closed without any result.

However, what may be the conspiracies behind it, such thefts bring History into news.

Is it not surprising that there is no Conspiracy theories in India? History is an opinion but different from myths. India has always tried to live the myths. India has lived the myths of their heroes who are infallible and therefore their history is sacred without blemish of conspiracies. But, why is it that thieves know better than the nation and disappear with the items which were symbols of the greatness of the Indian heroes. The stolen items are not recovered. But no conspiracy is pursued with the aim of reaching the actual truth. The ambiguity is preserved but thieves escape with the symbols.

Will these stolen items will again bring into news the history again?!!!

Conspiracy History Demands Space in Indian Histriography

There is absence of Conspiracy History in Indian Historiography. The Indians have the tendency to worship heroes and make God out of them. Vaishnavism can be interpreted as one of the best case in support of this argument.

Jaswant Singh Book may have troubled BJP on ideology level. However, on the sideline, it has again brought History in News and the aim with which this blog is created stands vindicated.

There are many such patches in Indian History which demands new interpertation and further inquiry. Another important topics are the Subash Chander Bose death, Lal Bahadur Shashtri Death, Shimla Summit, and so on.

The hitched report can be read in light of above mentioned points also.

I am rather satisfied with the aim of this blog as there is a place for "HISTORY IN NEWS"

Our Heroes, Nehur and Patel but Questioning them without Records! How Fair?

Who Was Indra of Subash Chandra Bose?

The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Nation

Laxmi Panda a was member of Indian National Army or Azad Hind Fauj. She was named Indra by Netaji.

It is better to remember the name of one's own father because that is required to claim the right of ancestral property. What is the need of remembering History? History is the mistress of politics. Do we remember Netaji?

Churchill was AOL: Arrogant, Offensive and Loud

Churchill wanted 'bad man' Gandhi to be 'eliminated'

Churchill had once complaint to Smuts for the problems which Britain was facing due to the political activities of Mahatama Gandhi.

The World War II archives are being explored further and some skeletons are falling out. It may create some more heat. Some governments will begin a course of justifications and clarifications which makes a good news when History makes a news.

The above link has been taken from Sify News which seems to be referring to the ANI news items.

It has projected Churchill in bit racist colour also.

Operation Pearl Harbour Recovery in Arunachal of India: A conspiracy theory in Offing!!!

The American Air Force will undertake the search mission in the month of October 2008 to locate the wreckage and the remains of the American Air Force Pilots who might have gone down during World War II in China Burma India War theatre.

This report can be accessed at US officers look for WWII planes in Arunachal appearing at rediff news.


America had learned after 100 years that the Maine Ship which exploded to start the Spanish War in 1899 had suffered internal damage. It was earlier reported in 1899 that it was destroyed by Spanish Military off the Cuban coast which started the SpanishWar.


The survey which will be undertaken in October 2008 may bring out some conspiracy theories. The Americans love to discuss the conspiracy theories in their pursuit of history.
