@aananda_patel @kaushikcbasu This is not true. Nehru gave up a lucrative legal practice,and spent 9 years in British jails to win India's independence, which is more than the combined time spent in jail by all the political ancestors of those whom you seem to admire today.

@mangharam @mumbaiheritage Thank you for sharing lovely memories. What was a great city then stands ruined now.

@AgentDesiBond @sourabhdaga82 @Ram_Guha You are right. In any case, the big penalty in prison is not physical discomfort, but loss of freedom.

@sourabhdaga82 @Ram_Guha You want us to believe that a picture of this quality was taken before 1947? If you believe that somebody used a digital camera years before the first one was sold, or that the same person sent email attachments before the feature was invented, then you can believe anything.

@PhysInHistory I think Dirac and Bhabha had the same PhD guide, Ralph Fowler, who had also guided S. Chandrashekhar's PhD.

@eliminateAdharm @IndiaHistorypic Collectively they spent decades in jails of British India. That makes them people with moral fibre, and true patriots. They were definitely NOT British stooges.

@Anand125050 @timesofindia I sincerely hope you are right. For the good of all of the country, Mamata must win. She has stood against the central government, about which less said the best.

[A @A1970111]

@timesofindia I hope she returns as CM. Opinion polls say she will win, unless she is cheated by SIR.

@Ram_Guha Mr. Guha, thank you for this gem from history. Please give us many more like it.

@sourabhdaga82 @Ram_Guha I suppose it also explains why Jawaharlal Nehru was jailed for a total of 9 years by the British, which must be more than all Hindu nationalists of those days TOGETHER had spent in jail fighting for Indian independence.

@Partha29375 @Priyaa_Purohit In the 2024 Lok Sabha election 36.4% voted for BJP, the rest against. So by your logic, not somebody else's, India has 75% MORE Pakistani agents than Hindustanis!

@TheRebelRain @rushikesh_agre_ The law and what's socially acceptable change with time. People in opium trading then were not doing illegal acts. Parsis spent that money on philanthropy, not hoarded it. Generations of Indians have benefited from it. Don't start communal hatred.

@IndiaHistorypic There are some nasty comments here about Gandhiji. Humanity will first destroy most of itself before the few survivors realise that he was right. Unfortunately those who write ill of him will not remain to see their folly. He was the most morally upright human being in centuries.

@parikshit_shome @navi6699 @IndiaHistorypic He had mastered the art of doing good for the nation without opening his mouth. What succeeded him was the reverse.

@toddkenneth480 @konstructivizm That comment is in very poor taste.
