- Sanjeev Sanyal is a noted historian and economist turned writer who has written seven books on India’s history, geography and freedom struggle. His latest book, Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom, talks about the story of armed resistance which wasn’t individual heroism as it has been portrayed in our history books, but was part of a wider movement towards colonial occupation. Sanjeev is a recipient of an Eisenhower fellowship, has been named young global leader by WEF and is a visiting scholar at Oxford University and an adjunct fellow at National University of Singapore. Currently, Sanyal serves as a member of the economic advisory council to the Prime Minister of India. In this edition of Podcast with Smita Prakash, author-cum-economist talks about armed resistance against the British, his family’s contribution to the freedom struggle, Savarakar, the source of the Khalistani movement and how collaborators and the Nehruvian Congress wiped out the actual history of the Revolutionaries.

I am Maharashtrian Brahmin. My grandmother used to tell the stories of these riots after the Gandhi assassination. Brahmins were dragged out and burned their houses thereafter. My grandmother and their family survived only because her father was a doctor and savior for everyone not just Brahmins but for all. This horrific incident she experienced in Satara, but as per her it has happened in many other places also.
All those history must b saved. Anything from pictures, recipes, stories on camera etc. Whomever r alive and can talk, get them on record before it’s too late. Preserve every drop. 🙏
Same.
Venkatesh Madgulkar had written a short story.... बन्या बापू , on the horrific events.

I am Maharashtrian Brahmin. My mother survived because her neighbours saved her, a four year child. My father and uncle in their early twenties were jailed by Nehruvian Congrees because they were Maharashtrian Brahmin and part of the revolutionary movement. I grew up hearing stories of true Indian heros of the freedom movement and stories of partition. I educated in English school but at home I was consciously introduced to Veer Savarkar's literature and thougts. I was blessed but wish more Indians especially the kids and youth are introduced to Veer Savarkar, the true Nationalist and his ideology.
Happy to have people like Sanjeev Sanyal, Vikram Sampath and J Sai Deepak who are trying to set the narrative right!
I'm sorry, what's with your surname? I'm curious, please tell me what's happening?
@@rohitsubramanya2138 Just why? Its not his fault that he shares surname with the family. (Nothing against Gandhi original)
Anju Dhar as well
@@rohitsubramanya2138 the Gandhis you know (Rahul Baba's people) are not REAL Gandhis, they took this surname for obvious reasons. Now most of Gandhis (Real ones not Converted) support Hindu nationalism.

A rare aspect of Sanjeev Sanyal's character I noticed here is that he is such a fantastic and flamboyant speaker that he hardly ever minds or takes umbrage with interruptions and interjections (often distracting, often topic-changing ones) of the interviewer, rather cares to politely and satisfyingly but briefly answer that and then returns to his previous talking point so smoothly and gracefully by somehow merging his talking point with the interruption that even the audiences start not to bother about those interruptions and instead find them to be enhancing the scope of entire discussion. Glad to know that he is a trained black belt in Taekowondo.
Tears flow from my eyes when I find the difference between that past era of Bengal which had consistently produced a plethora of intellectual minds coated with fiery nationalism and backed by high moral and spiritual values and the present era of docile and confused mindset of Bengal which is in a state of passive inertia. I can only say young minds like Mr Sanjiv Sanyal are the silver linings in the cloud.
Sad. Become too leftist now
Unfortunately the docile majority in west bengal and kerala do not vote for bjp
Ummmmmm Bengal: The gateway to East India company
@@pranabgill1310 they had shown a great resistance against them, unfortunately history was written by the nehru government 😕
@Ashmit and how do you know all this? DONT quote conspiracy theorists please.
All these stupid claims being made are agenda/propaganda being developed by paranoid haters,nothing else.
I am no Nehru fan but aware and well read enough to smell bullshit from far away...kuch bhi
Being a Maharashtrian I have known the immense contribution by Veer Savarkar and read his books as well, but knowing about other revolutionaries certainly added to knowledge which we have learned in History lessons. Congratulations to Sanjeev Sanyalji to bring out their stories. Their stories need to be aptly recognized and celebrated..
Pappu thinks it is easy to be a Savarkar
Just an unrelated question. I wonder why people from maharashtra call themselves maharashtrian and not just marathi. Simpler way of addressing.
@@abhishekkumartiwari1286He has been given two volumes by Vikram Sampath. He may apologize, who knows.
It’s ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL for our progeny to celebrate d real heroes and condemn d villains in order to learn from d history.
@@coermech9620 Same like Tamils in TN end up being referred to as Tamilians no Tamil
India needs more like Sanjeev in the public discourse. Thank you Smita. More power to you.
Who thinks Sanjeev is a future cabinet minister and maybe a candidate for the top job itself. He ticks all the boxes except maybe the political acumin to handle the crooked left parties in their own terms. Maybe he's too polite..
😊
@M A Dhavan M A Dhavan I think he is more aware about the surroundings … He can mould himself to suit any circumstances.He is a talented man…

Savarkar wrote to the British with salutations as:
"I beg to remain,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
Sd. V D. Savarkar."
So nice to see a Bengali intellectual actually talk sense!
Lately things really need to change for the better and may truth prevail!
Jai Hind!
I don't think he should identify himself as bengali. Present day bengalis are cuck weak woke clowns.
What do you mean "bengali intellectual "?
Haven't you seen any other talking sense?
Yup
Mr Sanyal hails from a family of revolutionaries both from paternal and maternal side . Sachindra Nath Sanyal was his great grandfather. Notably Bhagat Singh used to write letters and seek advice from Sachindra Nath Sanyal
Ok
Interesting
Bhagat Singh considered Sachindranath Sanyal his guru... Nalinaksa Sanyal is another popular political person from the Family..
Please name his maternal side..I know only Sachindra nath Sanyal
@@santusanturohit4832 Nalinaksha sanyal
J Sai Deepak, Vikram Sampath and now Sanjeev Sanyal. Wow. Sanjeev Sanyal is Legendary. He’s also member of economic advisory council to PM.

About the genocides in India, Mumbai does not know about them but the locations where they happened not just know but the entire community marks it in someway. In North-Western Karnataka, all of it, Diwali is not celebrated even today because tipu murdered thousands who did not convert. We still find large number of skulls while excavating land in these region. There are multiple such examples across India. Promise you North has the most horror stories.
Why they gave up diwali ? They should celebrate but not forget
@@AbhijeetKumar-vh1ff it's a deep scar for their community. They don't celebrate in remembrance for them. It's not because they don't want but because they will never forget the animosity towards them.
Well Mumbai is salad of migrants, so they carry their own story, we the century old residents of Mumbai know why we had to escape our lands. The fact that even we are marginalised by wealthy rich Mumbai residents is true. Mostly gujjus and dubai dawoodi gangs.
@@AbhijeetKumar-vh1ff well I understand why they don’t celebrate. Imagine you losing a grandfather to horrific genocide on that day. Who can celebrate. They remember.
Prashant, I belong to the trader community, being trader we were considered closer to brahmins, but segregated by brahmins in Konkan. Nevertheless, my great great grandfather had own farming rice paddy land. His house was set on fire by GANDHIANS. I guess as traders weren’t Gandhian enough, and brahmins were hated by that section of people. Marathas.
Being the only survivor of that incident, he hid in bushes and they went to nearby village for refuge to relatives. He got basic education, but was indebted to the family. Travelled to Mumbai at the age of 16, worked as lipik in small offices. A local wealthy fisherman ( yes fishermen were wealthy those days, they had control on economy) now they are cornered and ignored. That man helped him set the business.
The bottom line is, many survived the atrocities of Gandhian politics. They were not peaceful, they were not morally better.
He was no saint, and more evil than British for us. That’s why in my family we say, British ARE better than Gandhi.
My grandfather was in the Hindu Mahasabha with Savarkar. After the Gandhi vadh, a congress mob descended on our ancestral home in the Dadar Portuguese Church area. My father (now deceased) tells the story of how he, armed with an axe, and four of his friends, all armed with swords stood in front our house daring the goons to make a move. Nobody did. All they could attack were defenseless people
Based Dadaji🔥🚩
Vadh???
Ek toh fake profile hai tera. RSS ka propagandist.
@@parthasarathimishra8262
He considers Gandhi as a monster who played major role in dividing India which resulted in death , massacre, rape pf millions.
So in Hinduism when someone kills someone bad... it's called vadh and not "hatya".
Vadh means killed
I fully agree to the explanation of “Swadeshi”. My great great grandfather named Govind Daji Joshi was a revolutionary to start industries in Pune. It included manufacturing of Agarbatti, biscuits, utensils and many other products.
It’s good to know our real history.
I haven't even finished listening to even half of this podcast and already find myself in awe of the tremendous amount of knowledge that gems like Sanjeev Sanyal have to share with us.
No matter how hard the Nehruvian elite tried to wipe our history, it still shines through in more ways than he and his accomplices could ever imagine.
Thank you so much, Smita Ma'am for bringing in people like Sanjeev Sanyal Sir on your show and making us aware of our past which was deliberately hidden.
Warm Regards 🌺

Veer Sawarkar is an icon for us Maharashtrians. Not withstanding the futile narrative building attempts by Congress, India will never forget the sacrifice of Sawarkar, Sanyals, Bose, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Tilak etc . Mr. Sanyal, Sampath, Sai Deepak are showing who were also equally important for our freedom. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra
It's always hurting when RaGa talks about Savarkar in a negative tone. How can one be so insensitive, VDS's whole family and future generation has suffered for their patriotism. Not only his brother's tragic death during post Gandhi assassination but even before the independence what was VDS's wife put through and even his kids and family including brother's family is haunting to anyone who has even a shred of humanity in them
Yes it is extremely tragic and poignant. I weep when I read about Veer Savarkar and while listening to his poetry narrating his love for our matrubhumi Bharat
wow.. i never knew about his wife and kids struggle... can you share some light into int or share some valid reference links?
@@somnathbose7455 may be you could find out in Vikram Sampath Book on Veer Savarkar
Don't take his remarks seriously he is puppet of britishers just like his great-grandfather nehru
@@somnathbose7455 Reference links will not be of much consequence. Vikram Sampath documents it in his biography of Savarkar. When Savarkar was sent to prison, his wife was generally shunned from society because she was regarded as the wife of a criminal. The family lived in penury.
My grandfather being a dashgranthi Brahmin was also attacked after the Gandhi assassination. He was also beaten up. He was saved by the members of the Abhinav Bharat and fought against the Congressi rioters
Interestingly, in all the comments I am reading here who claim about their family members attacked, nobody is saying about anybody lost life during that. Secondly, all those accounts are with weird names. This shows how fake propaganda being spread.
The way innocent sikh were attacked and burnt by congress goons after indira was shot
@@parthasarathimishra8262 LOL i think you should get your eyes checked

And Mishraji, just because you find a name weird, doesn't mean it's fake. By that logic, some may find your name weird and fake as well.
Ullaskar dutta's story was really heart warming, what a story
Known and Unknown ....We would remain indebted to these revolutionaries for lifelong....
My heartfelt Naman to them!!🙏
Listening about Ullaskar Dutt's story was really heartbreaking. His story has the elements of being made into a great motion picture. I suggest Sanjeev Sanyal to write a novel on that and some filmmaker to turn it into a film.
What a brilliant person. So glad that we have such people helping the PM build India. He is a revolutionary too like his ancestors. Creating a revolution in people’s minds. His other books were very interesting too.
Are you relative of ranveer allahabadia
The story of Sanyals is eminently suitable to be made into a movie to impart patriotism and good cultural values.
It's an amazing pedigree! Mr. Sanyal is doing a phenomenal job, and I am proud of his work as a fellow Bengali citizen. Your work is very commendable, sir! I am looking forward to reading more of his works and analyses! If I'm not wrong, Mohini Mills was still in business in the late 70s and early 80s, and it used to produce very fine quality dhotis that my father loved!
Your name is Arunava Khan. If I may ask are u a Bengali Muslim?
@@kavitagera6101 Khan surname is used by Bengali Hindus as well if I'm not wrong
@@kavitagera6101 it sounds khaa but spelling is khan
@@kavitagera6101 Talukdar surname in Bengal and Assam. Chowdhury in Bengal and Pakistan are also Hindu/Muslim.
@@milindu8919 no khan surname never exist in hindu culture
Being a Marathi Brahmin, and hearing stories from Grand parents about villages being burnt and their brethren having to flee. From affluence in villages to poverty in cities. This is known generational trauma. Hardly documented, acknowledged or even spoken about. Glad that someone has guts to write about it. Speak about it.
Killing Gandhi was murder, no one supports Godse.
But what followed is so called 'Gandhians Congressis' doing exactly what they did to Sikhs in 1984 after Indira assassination.
so when the houses of dalits are torched on any pretext by the oppressing castes frequently out of casteism how many bammans stand in opposition to prevent such atrocities…..u get what u give …
@@123xyzabccba this is the stupidity... someone is punished for someone else's crime.
torching dalits houses is just as abhorrent crime.
@@indrajeetkamat6138 : so how many from the oppressing castes intervene to stop such atrocities….. u reap what u sow
@@123xyzabccba Then dont preach Eye for an eye gandhian bullshit.
@@123xyzabccba Using "u reap what you sow" term is slippery slope + pandora unboxing...Both things can be wrong. Understand that.
The song was so powerful 🙏 brought tears to my eyes.
Never again will I be shamed for practicing our religion or admitting about it in public.
That is the real tribute to those who died to protect our dharma
My Goodness. Sri Sanyal: gratitude to you and all those whom we could never see. what a vivid narration of facts.... No words
I have gone thru whole episode. Guys, don't miss it. Amazing with facts ... "collaborators" then and now, chills me; they committed crimes against our people and after independence, got into plum posts continuing the carpeting and their descendants have audacity to do it now !!!
Who are those collaborators now??
@@SaurabhYadav-ye9hnin judiciary, top bureaucracy , owners of media houses, universities.
The last part of the video shattered my heart. These are the people who sacrificed a lot and their tales and history was deliberately deleted by the COLLABORATORS.
When I listen to people like Sanjiv Sanyal, J Sai Deepak and many more, it always gives me motivation to read more and more about our history, culture and Sanatan Dharma....🙏
I am addicted to Sai Deepak’s programs listening those whenever possible…..
I feel lucky to come to know about Mr. Sanyal thru Smitha Prakash podcast……
JAI HIND……
So so happy to hear Sanjeev sanyal ji ❤ what a change in public discourse with sai Deepak, Vikram Sampath, Anand ranganathan and Sanjeev sanyal . Each of them hold their own .. so much inspiration for our generation 🙏❣️
I fucking love this man
He knows history, economics, culture everything
Long live
Me tooo🤚
Absolutely agree with views of Sanjeevji on democracy..Democracy is democracy, what is the distinction between liberal democracy and autocratic democracy..
We won't understand the pain of autocratic democracy unless we are on the receiving end..
Participation vs coercion
@@rajeevgangal542 essential Rajeev is saying it is participation when the left favored candidate wind and 'coercion' when non-left candidate wins......After some reading it is easy to see all the so called 'liberals', 'humanists' etc etc are the most intolerant lot you will ever meet
@@souradipsinha2753 well so called liberals are more intolerant and non liberal than so called autocratic in Indian context. This shows, these are fake division of democracy are just words used to put other party down.
Koti koti pranaam Sanyal JI 🙏
Naman to Maa Bharati"s Sons and daughters ..Another eye opening session by Mr Sanyal...Thanks Smitaji.
What a podcast!!!! The Multidimensional Infinite Possibility of human being - is what Mr. Sanjeev portrayed thru “Siloless” research!!! I remember Dr. Kalam said that understanding and upholding value system should be an integral part of the society - which do come from education and the know the our own “correct” history. After listening to him only one word came to my mind - “Balanced” person thru knowledge and practice.!!
I am really surprised when I listen that we didn't know real history, we in Maharashtra know from 60s (from my childhood) about all the revolutioneries, most of the great kingdoms of India etc. Even in our homes books other than published by then govt. were collected and even in libraries.
I studied in Mumbai. Didn’t know any of it. Even about Shivaji there was just a chapter. Back in 90s. Now, it’s probably a paragraph of lies. There’s a systematic ethnic cleansing of Hs taking place for centuries, not just butchering and dividing of clans/tribes. At least people r learning about it now. Hopefully they’ll stand up and defend themselves and preserve their heritage that their ancestors gave up their lives for.
Moreshwar Thatte...Yes I am a Maharashtrian too and I confirm what you say
@@RojaJaneman I grew up in Mumbai and i know about many of these stories. Is it possible you were not part of the state curriculum system, or you didn't live in Mumbai long enough to study these enough in school?
I remember reading his book, The Land of Seven Rivers, cover to cover in a single sitting in college... Really glad to hear one of my favourite authors. Thank you Smita.
Absolutely brilliant !! A must for every Indian citizen to hear and understand the contributions of the real heroes of our freedom struggle,
Absolutely fabulous interview. Sanjeev is an original thinker and a progeny of great revolutionaries. May he live long and contribute to India’s growth.

Sanjeev Sanyal has illustrious family background and his own knowledge of various subject is stupendous. It is great listening to him and his interview with Smita Prakash about his book and related discussion.
Waste interview

The story of Ulaskar Dutt, is truly gut-wrenching and traumatic at the same time. This story speaks volumes about the cost, our revolutionaries paid for the freedom we enjoy today and are ungrateful to value it.
This man seems to be knowledgeable, intelligent and beloved mother country lover.kudos for his informative dialogue.
Proud to be a Savarkarite
It's 2:58 AM and waching this excellent podcast of one of my favourite Mr.Sanjeev Sanyal... Literally moved from mobile screen in bedroom to Chromecasting on Bravia in living room... superb content, brilliant personality and excellent execution in anchor role by Smita Prakash ma'am...👍🇮🇳
His book land of seven rivers should be taught as official book for history of sindhu saraswati civilization or indus valley civilization or history of bharatvarsha.His book is better that books written by all marxist historian combined.That book is a masterpiece.First man who took on marxist historians in 2010's.
He has a striking resemblance with Shashi Tharoor. Like him he is very erudite. It’s just that he has his heart at the right place.
Chitpavan brahmin genocide is what happened after Gandhi was killed. Not because they loved Gandhi, it's just that those who killed them hated brahmins with a passion.
"Bina Talwar Bina Dhal!' Must be the biggest and longest running SCAM anywhere in the World!
Bravo Mr. Sanyal and Ms Prakash@
Current gov also loves him very much 😂
Being a Bong and my parents born in Varanasi, I can so much identify with Mr. Sanyal's depiction of the freedom struggle. By the way, even my mother's side were Sanyals from Varanasi. So i can already sense some familiriaty...
Ulhaskar Dutta ji's love story is so beautiful. Just listening to it makes you wish to be one such true lover for your special one.
My family from paternal side lived very closed to Netaji's bhavanipur home and I grew up listening to my grand father telling me several stories during that time..... One of which was " Netaji has promised he will be back"with so much conviction that we believed it.... My family from maternal side was Mukherjee zamindar of Ula, Bengal now called Birnagar ( which was thus named after the bravery of mukherjees) ..... One stroke of pen and we lost lands and properties because of rejecting the " Rai Bahadur" title and taking part in the revolution......I am so so sorry but this feels personal I dnt know who will read this ..... Attempted to listen to this several times... But cud not .... Really not sure what I felt.... Rage, Sad, Greatful, Disgust all at one time..... one thing for sure.... People who have gone through it doesn't like to talk about it.... I have heard many such stories .... A well established BASAK family ( holding good positions like Barrister ) came to kolkata ( only the wife with her two children) with rice, potato, few coins and gold all packed together in just 2 pillow covers. The menfolk mostly stayed back a bit more to sell of the properties.....I remember every time this woman told me this story she ended with " at that point I was not even sure whether I will see my husband again or not but I had to survive for my kids".
🙏 you have a glorious family history.
Dont say such things or people call you Hindu Fascists bcoz all upper castes were sorry writers according to Nehruvian Historians
You should be proud of your heritage. Be proud always
I cried many times thinking about our unsung heroes.. it was difficult to finish the video in one go.. thank you Smita for giving a break in between with the economic discussion.🙏
I am having high fever today. Unable to even get off my bed, so thought of listening to some podcast till I sleep. But had no idea this would be so informative and interesting that meri neend hi udd jaayegi.
One of the best (Top-5) podcasts I've ever listened to on any topic so far.
Simply stunned (in a pleasant way).
Did you get well?
@@sreyanshuchaterjee3962 yes. Thank you for asking mate
Dear Sanjiv, its always a pleasure listening to you. You are very clear and you have no doubts about who you are and where you want to take our country. I wish my dear God keeps you healthy and happy. God bless you.
Who thinks Sanjeev is a future cabinet minister and maybe a candidate for the top job itself
Only idiots will think like that. He's a very good academic and administrator. Politics is a different game together.
@@truthseeker4607 You are not an idiot.
Koti koti pranam to these revolutionaries 🙏It is so Heart Wrenching to hear about the torture they faced . And we were not taught any of this history instead was made to learn about Anti National Figures
I am glad in past 8-10 yrs so many facts have come out. Also thankful to my mother who taught us right history and references from what she had heard fr her parents born pre-independence. I hate what Bengal is today but I am proud of the fact that I have been taught right role models and come from true strong patriotic heritage of Bengal (Baba) and Maharashtra (ma) from my parents!
Knowledge is power. These stalwarts are setting up a great example for people to gain knowledge about themselves, their people, their country and the world. Hats off to the effort he would have put in.
Even today our elders would compare Mohini Mills dhoti as the best they've ever worn. We have always known about Netaji but not all know about Masterda Surya Sen, Ms Pritilata Waddedar in Chittagong Ostragar Lunthan known as Chittagong Armoury loot (guns)to fight against the Savage British.
Sanjeev Sanyal's grand uncle was one of the revolutionaries in Bengal.
Man who busted the myth that Ashoka adopted buddhism after kalinga war bcoz he saw destruction.Proved with evidences that Ashok was already a buddist for 4yrs before kalinga war took place.
I cry as I listen to this conversation. Thank you for uncovering the gory details that one suspected lay underneath the convenient and glib story of Ahimsa conquering the gentle hearts of the British, compelling them to leave.
Sanjeev ji, we are very proud of you and your family as bharatiya. You represent true Bengal. 🙏🇮🇳🙏
Smita Prakash has been bringing in some extremely high calibre people on her show. Sanjeev Sanyal, J. Sai Deepak, Vikram Sampath etc are a shining beacon of hope that the Indian history will finally been correctly portrayed in our NCERT textbooks.
V.O.Chidambaram pillai of Tuticorin who too was imprisoned in Andaman jail for running a swedeshi shipping company.He too is a unsung hero forgotten after release from prison.
Wow almost 2 hours flew by and i could have listened to this podcast for another 2 hours easily.
Cannot thank ANI and Smita for putting out such amazing content on the internet. 🙏
आपको नमन है संजय जी। इतना गहरा अनुसंधान और विश्लेषण किया है। भूले हुए, दबाए हुए और जानबूझकर मिटाए गए इतिहास को पुनः जीवित किया है आपने।
ये बहुत बड़ा कार्य है आज के भारत के प्रति देशभक्ति का, और आपके प्रति हम कृतज्ञ रहेंगे। 🙏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🇮🇳🙏🏼
Pls bring him again Smita... He gives perspectives like nobody else can do...
Sanjeev Sanyal Sir is a gem in our country! ❤✨
Really heart touching stories ❤. Ohh my mother India. You have stored a lots of unheard hero's in your chest.🙏
Finally Sanyal Sahab is here. Thank you Smita ma'am. I've waited for this
Sanjeev is such a wonderful person, educated, and brilliant speaker.
Sanjeev Sanyal : A legend 🙌
Too sad to hear of what Veer Savarkar family went through 😭😭😭😭😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
A great podcast- glued to the last second, always enjoy Sanjeev's discourse on CZcams. Got most of his books. I will buy this as well. Such a multi-faceted talent from Bengal despite it being intellectually bankrupted by CPM and then TMC.
How does one remain normal after listening and reading such stories. All of a sudden celebrating partying doesn't make sense to me. This freedom has come after so much sacrifice. I hope I can make my son realise these sacrifices.
Sanjeev Sanyal is one such person that you feel like listening to him whole night and still feel listening to afternoon. Thanks to Smita for bringing him.
The clear and crisp thought process of Sanjeev Sanyal is formidable!!!!
You can always listen to Mr. Sanyal ji for a long time. Savarkar’s sacrifices will never be understood by the majority because of the damage done by Nehrus and Thapars.
Thank you Sanyal saab and Smitaji for an enlightening discussion. I wonder why successive Indian Govt’s never asked British Monarchy for reparation or at least a public apology for their part in plundering, looting and oppression of Indian people.
Thank you Smithaji and Sanjeevji 🙏🏼 🇮🇳

Were the Sanyals originally from Hooghly district of West Bengal before they settled in Varanasi? I have seen some sources which claim Sachindra Nath Sanyal's ancestral house was in Hooghly district.
@@user-tm4yw1rv2m My Name is ABHIJIT SANYAL from Same Roots of SANYAL 's FAMILY... let's be in Touch... If possible. Regards Abhijit
Mr. Sanyal is absolutely brilliant! What a treat to listen to him & learn about India's REAL History. For Western audiences - Congress & their collaborating allies who were so friendly to the British Rulers - were like the Vichy France in World War-2. Nehru was the Marshall Petain of India & People like Savarkar & Bose were the Charles De Gaulles of India. Except, while in France DeGaulle aligned with eventual Victors (Allies) & became a National Hero; in India it was tragically the opposite - was like Petain & his Nazi bureaucratic collaborators becoming the eventual French leaders. So sad for India. Hope the people of India learn about importance of the Naval Revolt (dont minimalise it by calling it 'mutiny'), INA Trials, Bose, Savarkar & other so-called extremist Revolutionaries. These people were the real Heroes & they loved their country & wanted Freedom so badly, way more than the Soft collaborators/ semi-revolutionaries like Nehru.
1:06:37 Reform in Bureaucracy that's exactly what we need !
I am really awe struck by what he said that how Panjab and West Bengal the two States where there were maximum revolutionaries were divided and given as Pakistan . So these brave revolutionaries and their family many of them became homeless. I am sure this was a very deliberate plan. By whom?
One of the most famous flyovers in my city is named after Veer Savarkar ...
Absolute eye opener and extremely disturbing how we were made to forget or remain ignorant about an entire part of our history, one that was so important in the struggle for freedom. So happy and grateful to these young scholars making an effort to set the history straight.
What a brilliant mind. India is proud
The song at the end literally gave me goosebumps. Salute to Bankim Chandra Chatterjee
Kudos Smita for another fantastic episode... takes my admiration a couple of notches...Sanjeev Sanyal for his great character... Can we have such people mentoring our future generations ? What an asset such people are... Bharatvarsh is fortunate
Need more people like him , hope many people will be inspired by Sanyalji and true patriot!
Brilliant episode. Sanjeev Sanyal is a true jem. Though Nehru and his followers did everything in their power to wipe the records clean, the old nationalist revolutionaries, our unsung heroes have found a passionate voice to tell their tale, how they fought for the freedom of India and sacrificed their very life so that future generations could be free from the foreign yoke.
Brilliant.. people like you and Sai Deepak sir have helped revive the national pride of this Country
Jai Hind!!! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Jai Ho Sanjeev ji 🙏
Sanjeev is amazing. Knowledge of History, Economics and Risk Management!
Gratitude is the only feeling I have after listening to this podcast... Such conversations invoke the drive to get up and give back to the society which has suffered immensely and has seen unfathomable atrocities in the past.
Kudos to Smita Mam for bringing the joy of listening to the reformers of today...
Sir your books are very eye-opening and informative. I could only imagine how much background check you might be doing for these information.
Really thankful to your greatness and service towards our beloved country.
1 request - kindly start initiative in think tank group related to "accountability of judges and judicial reforms " in front of Modiji.
Jai Jagannath
Yrs there was the odd thinker ie historian in this case - my grandmother ! Of course she never got nor wanted to be benefited for her academic honesty - nor any privileges !
This conversation reminded me of her -
1:05:01 Most important part of this interview - pls tag this separately than under the Silicon Valley Bank headline. Clearly outlines the government's vision. It's heartening to know that Modi government receives advice from such eminent thinkers. Judicial, administrative and police reforms are the most important next steps that the country needs and I am glad it is a priority of the government.
OMG. I remember Sanyal Ji discussing in an interview around 2021, how US govt spent money in covid crisis vs how India govt spent money in covid crisis. He then told that US will have its consequences. He also expressed happiness about how India was able to send direct benifit to needy people, food ration along with some money, using Aadhaar & UPI.
Thank you Sanjeev Sanyal ji.
I am a Maharastrian Brahmin . My grandfather used to tell us that when gandhi was killed , there were riots in maharashtra against Brahmins ..burning of houses , lynching , tourture and what not ..... Even he said that mob was storming towards our house as well (of that time). But coincidently the cremation rituals of his grand mother were going on . The mob saw this and turned back which spared our house .
Even my parents didn't know this untill he told us .
