"Savarkar was a great rationalist. The surprising thing is how such a rationalist went completely off the rails in regard to other matters. His writing is full of villains and among the villains are the Buddha, all Buddhists, whom he considered hereditary traitors, Ashoka, Akbar, Tipu Sultan, and then Gandhiji. On the question of Godse and Apte there was no doubt that they were his acolytes, they were his worshippers. Sardar Patel said the problem was that once you create an atmosphere then you don't have to tell anybody to go and assassinate; he reads your lips. You just have to see the publications Savarkar was patronizing... They were only penning hatred and it was all centered on one man -- Gandhiji. Savarkar felt that the Marathas were the real legatees of the Mughal empire and then the damn outsiders, the British, slyly took over. The same thing happens in his own life . He thinks he is the heir to Lokmanya Tilak and then this outsider Gujrati comes and takes the whole prize away. This great disappointment in his life gets centered on one man and becomes hatred. Today, Gandhiji is a great inconvenience because he embodies Hinduism, the collective memory of our people. If Savarkar's line is pursued, then India will become a dismembered nation like Pakistan; society will be riven by hate. This eternal search for purity always ends in that. The difference between Indic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism from Semitic religions is that ours is an inner-directed search. Everything - pilgrimages, idol worship, mantras etc. is to aid this inner search. When you marry it to the State, religion becomes an instrument of the State. You only have to look at the Jewish religion when Gaza is to be bombed - it just becomes an instrument. Secularism is a way of keeping the purity of religion. It's not anti-religion. Keep religion and the State separate. That is why my book ends with this appeal - Save Hinduism from Hindutva" - Arun Shourie, author, 'The New Icon; Savarkar and the Facts' talks to Manjula Narayan on the Books & Authors podcast.

How does a people connected to place retain their sense of meaning and time when they are displaced and ignored? Indigenous Australian journalist and public intellectual Stan Grant (Monash University) joins Evan Rosa for a discussion of his experience as an Aboriginal Australian, the son of Wiradjuri and Kamiliroi people in the Outback of New South Wales, Australia. He tells the story of his family's Christian faith and Aboriginal identity—how the two work together. He shares the sense of aboriginal homelessness and displacement and his efforts to seek justice for Aboriginal people in modern Australia, a place with no memory. He teaches us the meaning of Yindyamarra Winhanganha—which is Wiradjuri concept meaning a life of respect, gentleness, speaking quietly and walking softly, in a world worth living in. He comments on declining democracy, how to live with dignity after catastrophe, what it means to be both nothing and everything—and we learn from Stan about the power of silence to speak to the unspeakable.About Stan GrantStan Grant is an indigenous aboriginal Australian journalist, former war correspondent, and an award-winning author of multiple books, including 2023's The Queen Is Dead: Time for a Public Reckoning (Harper Collins). He served in high profile roles in Australia as a current affairs and news presenter with Channel 7, CNN, SBS and the ABC.

James Joyce, James Baldwin, Tony Morrison, these people have shared this journey, the great poets, the great writers, the great artists who have sought to give expression to that sense of what it is to be exiled from the modernity of who we are, what we all want to be something.

Philip Stern places the corporation―more than the Crown―at the heart of British colonialism, arguing that companies built and governed global empire, raising questions about public and private power that were just as troubling four hundred years ago as they are today. Across four centuries, from Ireland to India, the Americas to Africa and Australia, British colonialism was above all the business of corporations. Corporations conceived, promoted, financed, and governed overseas expansion, making claims over territory and peoples while ensuring that British and colonial society were invested, quite literally, in their ventures. Colonial companies were also relentlessly controversial, frequently in debt, and prone to failure. The corporation was well-suited to overseas expansion not because it was an inevitable juggernaut but because, like empire itself, it was an elusive contradiction: public and private; person and society; subordinate and autonomous; centralized and diffuse; immortal and precarious; national and cosmopolitan―a legal fiction with very real power. Breaking from traditional histories in which corporations take a supporting role by doing the dirty work of sovereign states in exchange for commercial monopolies, Stern argues that corporations took the lead in global expansion and administration. Whether in sixteenth-century Ireland and North America or the Falklands in the early 1980s, corporations were key players. And, as Empire, Incorporated: The Corporations That Built British Colonialism (Harvard UP, 2023) makes clear, venture colonialism did not cease with the end of empire. Its legacies continue to raise questions about corporate power that are just as relevant today as they were 400 years ago. Challenging conventional wisdom about where power is held on a global scale, Stern complicates the supposedly firm distinction between private enterprise and the state, offering a new history of the British Empire, as well as a new history of the corporation.

Breaking from traditional histories in which corporations take a supporting role by doing the dirty work of sovereign states in exchange for commercial monopolies, Stern argues that corporations took the lead in global expansion and administration. Whether in sixteenth-century Ireland and North America or the Falklands in the early 1980s, corporations were key players. And, as Empire, Incorporated: The Corporations That Built British Colonialism (Harvard UP, 2023) makes clear, venture colonialism did not cease with the end of empire. Its legacies continue to raise questions about corporate power that are just as relevant today as they were 400 years ago. Challenging conventional wisdom about where power is held on a global scale, Stern complicates the supposedly firm distinction between private enterprise and the state, offering a new history of the British Empire, as well as a new history of the corporation.

Listen to the Previous EpisodeIN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE of this podcast series, we saw how the British Governor-General, Wellesley drastically reduced the endowments given to Hindu charitable institutions from 855000 to just about 200000 lakh rupees in the Mysore kingdom. This had far reaching consequences not just for these institutions but for the traditional culture of food sharing, the sacred cherished cultural practice of Annadanam, something that India had always been renowned for countless centuries. The fall was swift. As early as 1829, the new governor general William Bentinck was gloating in a letter about the great success of this destructive British project of systematically starving India. The closer the English-educated Hindus came in contact with the British, the more they became like them, the more they imitated their manners and lifestyle and imbibed the same European contempt towards the social customs and traditions of their own countrymen. The British famine report of 1880 led to the creation of an elaborate bureaucracy for managing famine and relief efforts. Its mechanisms and justifications are rooted in this fundamental British or European attitude towards food…in other words, it operates on the premise that Annadanam is unethical and is a social evil. This report is still the basis for the management of famine and relief measures in independent India. This is precisely how the colonial British systematically and institutionally destroyed not just traditional Hindu charitable institutions but transformed India into a nation of beggars.An Appeal: Please Support our Sacred Work to help us Offer More to You!If you liked this episode, please consider making a contribution of your choice to The Dharma Podcast so we can offer you more such informative and insightful content on a range of topics related to Hindu history, civilisation and culture.You can contribute in the following ways* By opting for a paid subscription.

Today's ID the Future features another reading from scholar Olufemi Oluniyi's new book, Darwin Comes to Africa. In this excerpt we learn how Darwin himself laid much of the groundwork for social Darwinist ideas, primarily in his book The Descent of Man, and how those ideas were energetically developed in the ensuing decades by various mainstream scientists. Oluniyi further details how their work fueled pseudo-scientific racism against black Africans and other indigenous peoples outside the West. To learn more about this neglected corner of modern Western history, and for the good news that the flow of evidence has turned against Darwinism and, with it, social Darwinist principles, pick up Oluniyi's book here.

5 C's of History: Context Series, #1 of 4. On December 16th, 1929, thousands of Igbo [ee-bo or ibo] women gathered outside the colonial government compound in Opobo. They were there to demand the end of British imperialism in Eastern Nigeria, though the British seemed oblivious to the intention and motivations of these women. What they saw were erratic, reactive women wielding sticks and stones, bearing down on the post office, Native Court, and dispensary. The women pressed against the bamboo fence surrounding the compound, demanding change. They believed the British wouldn't fire on a group of women. In Igbo society, men did not attack women, and the women believed that the British operated under the same code of cultural conduct. But the British didn't believe that women were capable of making war, of organizing sophisticated networks of protest, or that women could destroy government buildings with nothing more than their hands, sticks, and stones. When the women refused to back down, the lieutenant in charge ordered his soldiers to open fire. They shot 67 bullets into the crowd, and each found a victim. At least 31 women died that day from bullet wounds; perhaps eight more drowned when the crowd pushed them into the nearby river as they tried to escape the gunfire. Blood-splattered, women screamed and cried, and the smoking guns cleared. The Igbo Women's War of 1929 came to a violent end.

On today's ID the Future, hear a Nigerian voice-actor reading from the opening pages of Nigerian scholar Olufemi Oluniyi's new book, Darwin Comes to Africa. In this section from the preface, Oluniyi explores the relationship of Darwinism to Social Darwinism, and some of the ways Social Darwinism fueled and justified horrific ideas and actions among European thinkers and colonizers. Oluniyi tells the story of Russian scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, who, guided by Social Darwinist thinking, “sought to produce a race of super-soldiers for Stalin's army by impregnating French Guinea women with the sperm of a dead chimpanzee—black African women, mind you, who were presumed to be less highly evolved and thus closer to chimpanzees than were white European women.” As Oluniyi Read More › Source

On today's ID the Future, scholar John West introduces Darwin Comes to Africa, the new book by Nigerian pastor, theologian, journalist, scholar, and human rights activist Olufemi Oluniyi. The work explores the poisonous influence of social Darwinism on British rule in northern Nigeria in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a poisonous influence felt in Oluniyi’s home country down to the present, he argues. The book project grew out of Oluniyi's intimate knowledge of Nigerian culture as well as his attendance at the 2017 Center for Science & Culture Summer Seminar program in Seattle, Washington. By the end of that nine-day gathering, he had resolved to write a book about the impact of Social Darwinism on his home country Read More › Source

During the 1950s, a guerrilla war raged in the lush forests of Kenya. The Mau Mau, a rebel group of native Africans, battled the British colonial government in a violent struggle for independence. Both sides committed heinous acts, but the Mau Mau's fight for their land and freedom ultimately paved the way for Kenya's independence in 1964.Watch full documentary here https://youtu.be/K4sSGd2w_rkDon't forget to send us a tweet and let us know what topics you'd like to see us cover in the future!

​Tune in to the latest episode of The Wire Talks as our host Sidharth Bhatia talks to Australian author and researcher, John Zubrzycki.The duo talks about the latter's recent book, The Shortest History of India. The book covers a wide range of topics right from the earliest humans to Harappan civilisation to the invasion of the country by Mughals and Britishers.His book is also documentation of the 5000 years of Indian history including mentions of colonisation to the Independence period.British historian John Keay says, "The Shortest History of India may be a one-day read but it's no small achievement. Nimbly navigating 5000 years of erratic documentation, Zubrzycki's narrative retains its poise, misses little and is a delight to read."

This week on PNN, I will talk about the passing of Queen Elizabeth, and the mythology surrounding the 'Royals.' Not once during her 70 year reign did she EVER apologize to the many indigenous peoples attacked and colonized by the British Empire. Not once during her 70 year reign did she EVER speak of reparations. The coverage of her passing and the coverage of the younger royals is vapid and dangerous. It is time to tell the truth.  On EJR, I will speak of the campaign to stop Joe Manchin's dirty pipeline deal. I will also speak to the dire warning sent by scientists about the future of life on this planet.  Come join me.  Jeanine

In the days after Queen Elizabeth II's unfortunate passing, Charlie discusses what the world will look like without her 70 year reign, and he dives into the history of what the world looked like when she took the throne compared to the world she left. Things changed drastically throughout her lifetime, and Charlie brings on Professor Bruce Gilley to make the case for British colonization that may be polarizing, but is important to clear the air on the impact the British Monarchy has had. Next, Charlie welcomes on friend of show and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on the program to clarify some confusing waters surrounding state law suits and the rules Attorney General's have to adhere to— even when everything can be going to hell in a hand basket in that state.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How have Cultural influences around the world shaped Hinduism? Through the exportation of multiple cultures and other factors like the "brain drain" in India, Hinduism has gained many facets worldwide. Listen up to learn: What the Diasporas refer to Where one of the most significant Hindu temples is in the U.S. What major movements exist in the world today Frank J. Korom, A Professor of Religion and Anthropology,shares his experience from traveling the world, observing and studying cultures and religious practices, and how they interact with one another. Understanding the influences that have contributed to the modern versions of ancient religions is critical in seeing the complete picture of the cultural anthropology of a region. For example, through British Colonialism, Hindu culture and practices have been spread and influenced by cultures even as far as the Caribbean. Traveling the world is a wonderful way to experience other cultures and begin to understand varying ways of life, but it can become much more impactful than that. Through travel, ideas are spread, combined, and ultimately altered into new and fantastic forms that hold their own place in the modern world. Have more questions?

Since Britain's annexation of Lagos in 1861 up until independence in 1960, the history of colonialism in Nigeria has almost always been told from London's perspective - often exaggerating the benevolent intentions and downplaying and blameshifting the abuses, ethnic violence, and social disarray the occupation created. Every listener to this podcast knows that we love Nigeria. Been traveling there and working there for decades, so when we heard about Max Siollun's new book, "What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule," we had to get him on the podcast. In his discussion with Robert Amsterdam, Siollun emphasizes just how cynically the British colonial administrators exploited ethnic and religious identity to maintain control of territories, while forcefully rejecting the myth the Nigeria's problems are purely homegrown. Instead of solely focusing on Nigeria's modern problems of corruption, crime, and terrorism, instead it can be argued that the country, which is by far the most unique nation on earth, like a combination of Iran and Norway in the same territory, is a remarkable success story given the sheer impossible circumstances the colonizers created. Nigerians should be given credit for what they've achieved as a nation, despite the indelible and tragic legacy left behind by colonial rule.

Member of Lok Sabha (Indian Parliament) Dr. Shashi Tharoor has been a vocal critic of India's mishandling of COVID-19. This week, he was in the news for participating in a protest organized by Indian Youth Congress in Kerala; the protest took place at a 'roadside ICU,' a day after Kerala reported a single-day count of 31,445 Covid-19 cases on Wednesday. Confirmed cases in Kerala reached 3,883,429. A Member of Lok Sabha since 2009, Dr. Shashi Tharoor has also spoken out about border disputes with China along the Himalayas and campaigned for the United Nations to open its doors to elected representatives. Dr. Shashi Tharoor joins Ian Williams to discuss the Indian government's mishandling of COVID-19, Indian foreign policy - specifically in relation to the U.S. and China - and more. Dr Shashi Tharoor, former Under Secretary-General of the United Nations and third-term Member of the Indian Parliament and former Minister, is the bestselling author of twenty-two books, both fiction and non-fiction, notably his recent "An Era of Darkness” explaining how British Colonialism underdeveloped India. A penetrating critic of the Modi government in both its domestic and foreign policy, he will happily field questions about India's potential and actual role in world affairs.

We have our first social distancing episode! Join Adam, James, and Matt as we interview Dr. Jamie Parker, freshly off his dissertation defense, on his dissertation: "The Fluidity of Late Colonial Development: Water Management, State Building, and Rural Resistance in Kenya 1938-63." On the heels of James and Matt's dissertation defenses, we work through defending dissertations in the mid-March pandemic stages during the first couple weeks of Massachusetts shutting down. Jamie talks about how the British colonial government in Kenyan took resources away from natives and gave them to white settlers in the name of progress and profit. Jamie makes his intervention into the history of development and water resources in the British Empire, using Kenya as his case study. He shows how prioritizing specific economic growth by people far away over all else leads to disastrous consequences. He looks at the power dynamics and how tribal groups interacted with settlers, the colonial government, and the London offices. Jamie lays out the timeline of the Kenyan water mismanagement from the war to the Mau Mau rebellion through independence and post-colonial structures, with the focus on cash-crops. How does that play out in the larger globe, when development agencies replicate putting specific models onto larger population centers? What led Dr. Parker to look to Kenyan colonial water management? What was defending his dissertation like during a pandemic like? What's next for Dr. Jamie Parker and the rest of the newly minted doctors of history?

In this episode, I am hosting Tegiye Birey.We will discuss the effects of the British colonization on sexuality and gender in Cyprus. We will also talk about how the current occupation of Northern Cyprus by Turkey has shaped not just sexuality and gender but also feminist and queer movements.Tegiye has a BA in Women's Studies and Political Science with a minor in French Studies from the University of New Hampshire, and an MSc in Gender and Social Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science with a particular focus on the gendered discourses on sex-trafficking. After her studies, she worked in the field of refugee rights and engaged in gender research and training. She has been part of feminist, queer, anti-militarist and anti-racist activist networks in Cyprus and transnationally. Tegiye's current research examines the gendered politics of migrants' and solidarity networks in Malmö, and her research interests are migration, postcolonial/decolonial feminisms and politics of resistance.Tegiye was a part of a research project called "how to introduce gender in history teaching in Cyprus" analyzing the course books of primary schools to find different ways in which gender can become part of history teaching in Cyprus. In other words, Tegiye was a part of an important initiative that aims to remedy the silencing of women in history. Tegiye also has been actively involved with the feminist and queer movements in Cyprus.Today she will speak to us from the position of a researcher as well as an activist.Tegiye will raise two important issues in relation to sexuality and gender in Cyprus. The first one is the fact that it was the colonial laws of the British Empire that establish homosexuality as "a crime of unnatural sex". These laws were in place well into the twentieth-first century, and thus their legacies could be heavily felt on the queer as well as feminist movement in different ways.  Tegiye mentions a nostalgic remembering of British colonial times that forgets or neglects to mention such laws under British colonization but instead argues that being a former British colony means having gender equality. But of course, gender inequality was believed to be not a problem only among the natives of the islands. Gender inequality was also attributed to being a problem related to migrants coming from Turkey.The Turkish invasion and occupation of the Northern part of the island have prevented direct relations between the divided parts of the island. This lack of relationships also included feminist and LGBT movements on both sides, thus also making solidarity links very hard to establish. This division became clearer as Southern Cyprus became a part of the EU while Northern Cyprus remained an unrecognized state. This had a curious effect on NGOization processes of the civil society in Northern Cyprus, which Tegiye will discuss now.For a short history of Cyprus, please take a listen to episode six.

"Tracing Imperial Legacies: Interventions" with the Traces of Nitrate project and the Museum of British Colonialism. On April 5-6, 2019 RiVAL was among the hosts of a two-day symposium at the University of Sussex on the topic of "Finance Capital and the Ghosts of Empire" which brought together artists, activists and academics. For more information, visit: http://rival.lakeheadu.ca/ghostsofempire/ This second panel brought together two important projects that aim to trace the material, cultural and financial legacies of empire. The Museum of British Colonialism is a UK / Kenyan collective encouraging a more truthful account of Britain’s colonial past through a wide variety of media interventions. Their first exhibition has focused on Mau-Mau detention centres.  museumofbritishcolonialism.org. Traces of Nitrate: Mining History and Photography Between Britain and Chile explores the histories and legacies of British investment in Chilean nitrate mines and involvement in its global trafficking. Through an examination of sites, artifacts and images, the project traces nitrate’s route from natural mineral state processed in the oficinas of the Atacama desert through transported commodity and stock market exchange value to become, ultimately, part of the material and symbolic inheritances of London mansions and of estates in the capital’s surrounding countryside. It undertakes new photographic documentation of geographically disparate but historically connected landscapes, remote nitrate fields and metropolitan financial districts, accompanied by an analysis of nitrate’s material and visual culture. tracesofnitrate.org

This is the first Criterion Close-Up double feature. Mark and Aaron take a close look at two films from Bruce Beresford, released theatrically a decade apart and just recently as part of The Criterion Collection. We look at Breaker Morant and how it reconciled British Colonialism on both its subjects and enemies, and how it dispensed justice. We then look at Mister Johnson, which deals with colonial issues such as commerce and civilization. About the films: At the turn of the twentieth century, three Australian army lieutenants are court-martialed for alleged war crimes committed while fighting in South Africa. With no time to prepare, an Australian major, appointed as defense attorney, must prove that they were just following orders and are being made into political pawns by the British imperial command. Director Bruce Beresford garnered international acclaim for this riveting drama set during a dark period in his country's colonial history, and featuring passionate performances by Edward Woodward, Bryan Brown, and Jack Thompson; rugged cinematography by Donald McAlpine; and an Oscar-nominated script, based on true events. A decade after he broke through with Breaker Morant, Australian director Bruce Beresford made another acclaimed film about the effects of colonialism on the individual. In a performance that earned him the Berlin Film Festival's Silver Bear for best actor, Maynard Eziashi plays the title character, a Nigerian villager eager to work as a civil servant for the British authorities, including a sympathetic district officer (Pierce Brosnan), in the hope that it will benefit him in the future. Instead, his ambition leads to his tragic downfall. Mister Johnson, based on the 1939 novel by Joyce Cary, is a graceful, heartfelt drama about the limits of idealism, affectingly acted and handsomely shot.
