The Education of the Exemplars of Indian History The stalwarts of Indian history regarded history as… history. To them, history was the quest for truth; it was not an extension counter of politics or ideology. Almost without exception, these savants of Indian history were deeply rooted in the Sanatana ethos. They had received their primary education pretty much in the traditional manner – first at home, then either in a Gurukula or in the typical village school that had existed in every nook and corner of Bharatavarsha. The annihilation of these village schools after “independence” is at the root of much social disorder and strife that we notice today. This is a truly inspiring essay.

The Tapasya of the Tapasvins of Indian History This is the first episode of a series showcasing the Tapasya, the methods and lifestyle of the stalwarts of Indian history. It is easier to gain social media celebrity status by stirring up pride and make people feel good than spending lonely years engaged in honest, thorough and diligent study. Mediocrity is the mother of celebrity while excellence is a jealous mistress. It is this mindless, headlong embrace of mediocrity that must be undone to prevent further damage. The key to this is in understanding and embodying some of the major qualities, attitudes, traits and methods evolved and employed by the true exemplars of Indian history. 📑🕉🙏🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/the-tapasya-of-the-tapasvins-of-indian-history

Terror and the Normalising of Bad News: How M.N. Roy Founded the Communist Party of India From 1924 - 26, M.N. Roy used a variety of terror tactics and propaganda as the forerunners to establishing the Communist Party of India (CPI). In July 1924 the Communist International decided to adopt Roy's suggestion that a new Indian Communist Party should be formed as a branch of the Communist International. In other words, from the start, the CPI showed that its loyalty was not to India but to the USSR. M.N. Roy wrote in a column that it was good that “People have got used to hearing things which simply terrified them before. We must reap the benefit of this situation." He was a truly evil, sick, unscrupulous man.

The Dark Dossier of M.N. Roy: India’s First Political Terrorist M.N. Roy was India's first political and communist terrorist and the chosen agent of Soviet Russia in India. You name the subversive, anti-India activity, M.N. Roy has done them all. From arming Jihadis, from brainwashing Khalistanis, he has done it all. In fact, this is what a 1933 Government dossier told about him: Wherever he has gone Roy has left behind him a trail of conspiracy and intrigue. Ambitious, energetic and unscrupulous, Roy managed to retain the confidence of the Soviet to an extraordinary degree.
