Lapsed Marxist meeting Prolapsed Marxist.
STUNNED by how Prof Guha IGNORES more than 200 documented instances of BRUTAL suppression of FoE of writers, scholars, filmmakers by @INCIndia. Physical attacks, beatings, imprisonments, mobs let loose, even daylight murders - ALL ignored. SHOCKING bias.
STUNNED. Prof Guha names Periyar as one of the Makers of Modern Asia; is laudatory, but WIPES OUT his call for breaking Gandhi's statues, slandering Ambedkar, burning holy books & the Constitution, and openly calling for the killing of Brahmins.
SHOCKING selectivity on display.
SHOCKING selectivity on display.
STUNNED. Prof Guha, in virtue-signalling while advocating others to not be selective, forgets that he is perhaps the SINGLE GREATEST purveyor of Selectivity east of Timbuktu. SHOCKING hypocrisy.
Thread on Prof Guha's unabashed selectivity and bias:
Thread on Prof Guha's unabashed selectivity and bias:
STUNNED, that for the first time ever, and only to save his skin, Prof Guha eats his fist and quotes Ambedkar's views on Islam; and then, scared, restricts himself to only quoting partially. SHOCKING selectivity.
Wise, judging by the abuse he is getting from his own friends.

STUNNED. Wouldn't be surprised if Prof Guha considers distorting History a lesser crime than a parking violation.
STUNNED. For the record, when he was the Editor of The Hindu, he SHELVED for months @shaliniscribe's multiple EXPLOSIVE reports exposing the shady dealings of Robert Vadra and published them only after she, frustrated, handed all info to Prashant Bhushan. opindia.com
STUNNED. Prof Guha, who now showers praise on Arun Shourie calling him a credible intellectual & author of serious books, had earlier showered ABUSES at him, calling him ill-informed, bilious, bigoted, and a pamphleteer. (h/t @TrueIndology & @rahulroushan) books.google.co.in
STUNNED. Just when one thought Prof Guha's knowledge of Law was a tad better than his knowledge of History. This is embarrassing for the eminent intellectual.
"Nehru was a man of courtesy & civility, always willing to engage with both admirers & critics."
STUNNED. Prof Guha is LYING through his dentures. Jailing, banning, sacking - Nehru was UNCIVIL, VICIOUS and RETRIBUTIVE towards his critics. Some examples:

STUNNED. Prof Guha exhibits, yet again, his complete lack of logic and knowledge of modern Indian History; ties himself up in knots in trying to absolve Nehru. (h/t @rahulroushan) opindia.com
STUNNED. Party of the Freedom Struggle? Sure.

Ramachandra Guha is like the Titanic; launched amid great fanfare by the darbaris, sailed the calm Lutyens' waters for a bit, and then encountered the iceberg in the shape of social media.
