Tragic reading and it proves India (or south Asia for that matter) is yet to account for it's history truthfully. The stories of independence in text books or comic books are so neatly packaged to show a particular view. Ironic, considering India's currency says 'Satyameva Jayate'
Truth may ultimately triumph but the reckoning by the masses is absent.
Excellent piece! I think there's a whole history to be written about the NCR region. From Aligarh to Bharatpur and Meerut, lots of modern history played out here
Aditi, thank you for this eye opening, informative piece. So well researched.
How little we know of our history! And indeed how complicated it is! Thank you Aditi for researching and bringing up such nuggets from the past!
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment

The truth is neatly packaged to show a more hopeful optimistic future of a newly independent country.

History is so complicated. I like the line on the “tryst with destiny “ speech.
Thank you for making this topic so accessible. So much to still learn about our complicated history.
