  • The third episode of Konkan Uprising, our special series of the liberation of Goa, focuses on the economic blockade during the late 1950s. India did not want to make a military intervention, even though diplomatic relations broke down irrevocably. Instead, it imposed an economic sanction, since trade with India made up the lifeline of the Goan economy. India hoped that the boka class would choke the Goan economy, forcing Portugal to hand over Goa to India. What followed was its exact opposite. Goa actually became quite prosperous during the years the blockade was in effect. It set off an unprecedented mining boom, and a general deuce towards industrialisation. This episode explores that paradox.

    The third episode of The Konkan Rising, a four-part series on the liberation of Goa on HistoryChatter, explores that irony.

  • Between 1946 and 1956, the Goa question had entered the international domain. India became independent but did not want to annex Goa by force. It stressed Goa’s social and cultural unity with India but insuu insisted on a diplomatic handover by Portugal. The latter had no such intention.

    Meanwhile, the freedom fighters in Goa carried on their struggles. In 1954, India imposed an economic boycott, hoping Portugal would finally surrender an impoverished Goa.
    But the reality turned out to be the very opposite. How did Goa become wealthy for the first time in the middle of a crippling economic blockade?

    The second episode of The Konkan Rising, a four-part series on the liberation of Goa on HistoryChatter, explores that irony.

  • The people of Goa fell into a peculiar problem this month due to a recent change in Indian passport laws. Early last year, Prime Minister Modi claimed that Jawaharlal Nehru deliberately delayed Goa’s liberation and integration with India. What really happened with Goa? I went back to Sushila Mendes’ work and the recent monograph of Valmiki Faleiro on the liberation of Goa.
    This and the next three episodes of HistoryChatter offer a detailed account of Goa’s peculiar relations with India.

    I focus primarily on the process of its liberation and union with India. This comes closely on the heels of our series on the integration of the princely states with India. The first episode presents the background and the landmark 1946 intervention by Rammanohar Lahia. It also offers one of the interpretations of Jawaharlal Nehru’s role in the process.

  • Coffee drinking on a large scale did not start in India before the early 20th century. Once it became popular as a leisure drink, many commentators responded to its novel appeal. Some believed it was making Indians more prone to diseases.
    Yet others believed coffee reduced breast milk supply in lactating mothers. This episode looks into such varied cultural responses to the introduction of coffee consumption in south India, drawing from the pioneering work of A R Venkatachalapathy.

  • Jawaharlal Nehru was firmly against hereditary monarchs. But he made an exception in the case of Sikkim.
    He let Sikkim’s King stay on, until after his death. His daughter Indira Gandhi believed it was an indirect concession to China.
    But there were movements within Sikkim for democracy and the end of landlordism. Political dynamics slowly began to change during the 1960s and Indira Gandhi finally decided to get R&AW officials to plot the ouster of the Simkimese king.
    I look at the history of India-Sikkim relations in this fourth episode of India United.

  • In the third episode on the incorporation of princely states within independent India, I take up a detailed case study of Hyderabad. It was the largest princely state in British India, and the Nizam of Hyderabad aspired for an Azad Hyderabad or independent Hyderabad.
    It was not an unreasonable aspiration as such. If it were to be independent, Hyderabad would have been as wealthy as the top twenty members of the United Nations in 1947-48. He had the support of hardline Muslim fanatics and of course of Jinnah and the Muslim League.
    The situation became more complex with counter moliztion of Hindus and Sikhs and the rebellion in Telangana by oppressed peasants under the leadership of communists.

    The Nizam sent a delegation to the United Nations to make a case for Hyderabad's independence. It was a terrible prospect for India.
    The Hyderabad crisis festered even as Mountbatten left India in June 1948.
    India had to sign standstill agreements and appoint an Agent General. There were regular border problems with several parts of India throughout 1947 and 1948.
    We discuss these border skirmishes in detail.
    Finally, though, there was no option left but for direct military intervention.

  • Integration of various princely states to the newly independent state of India was carried out primarily by the States Department. It came into being in July,1947 and was headed by Sardar Patel. He was ably assisted by V P Menon, who held the highest position among Indian officials of the Raj, as constitutional advisor to the last three British Viceroys. He laid down the legal and constitutional protocols for the accession of princely states. He also carried out a number of meetings with Indian princes, persuading, cajoling and occasionally intimidating them, to strengthen India’s hands. Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy, firmly stood behind Patel and Menon. This special Independence Day episode of HistoryChatter looks into these legal and constitutional issues, and the personal drama, associated with the work of the states department between July and August 1947.

  • Given a choice, many native princes did not want to become a part of the independent Indian republic in 1947.
    Quite a few of them had even hatched a conspiracy to create a confederacy of princely states. Some influential British officials still supported those ambitions, albeit with an imperialist motive.

    But Jawaharlal Nehru was implacably opposed to these fantasies. He had personally suffered at the hands of autocratic princes on several occasions. Journalist Sandeep Bamzai argues that a particular clause in the Indian Independence ACT was inserted solely to preserve these states and embarrass the fledgling Indian republic with multiple small independent states all around it.

    The first episode of a four part series on the integration of princely states with India lays bare these complex legal and political background of the 565 princely states in India on the eve of independence and partition.

  • 🗓️15th of August 1947

    On one side we see it as the day of India's Independence, on the other, the day when the country got partitioned.

    But there's one more side that is not much talked about, Just as our freedom struggle ended, a new quest began-
    To unite the Indian States & its people‼️

    What if India were 29 countries and not 29 states?

    What if Rajasthan would have become a part of Pakistan?

    But it is a story that has to be told, a story of how the princely states joined India

  • The Government of India began to encourage the manufacture of a small car only by the 1970s. Sanjay Gandhi, Prime Minister’s son and an automobile fanatic, carried out the audacious Maruti experiment during the 1970s. It was a giant dream, and ended up as a bigger failure.
    His mother Indira Gandhi finally revived the dream.
    For once, capable managers were hired, and the government or the bureaucracy did not interfere. This unusual arrangement was never repeated in any other Public Sector Unit (PSU) in India.

    The final episode of the great Indian car dream recalls the initial tragedy and then every stage of the final triumph of Maruti.
    Maruti would since change the history of the automobile sector in India forever.

  • The first thirty years after independence were a bumpy ride for the private car dream. Automobile was considered integral to India’s self sufficiency but the private car was not a part of that scheme. The government focused on setting up a manufacturing base for automobiles in India. But larger vehicles for defence and freight and mass transport sectors received greater priority. The articulate professional class too believed public transport had to be given greater priority. There was apprehension private cars would choke the roads and cause pollution. In fact, there were suggestions as early as fifty years ago that India should consider electric vehicles.

  • A small car is not an unattainable aspiration for a middle-class family in India today. Forty years ago though, it was. Cars were considered an unaffordable luxury until the mid-eighties when Maruti 800 finally came along. However, attempts had begun as early as the 1930s to set up an automobile manufacturing industry in India.
    I take up this journey in a three-part series. The first episode profiles the early pioneers and their audacious but finally aborted attempts during the 1930s and 1940s.

    The second episode tracks the painfully slow and sputtering growth of the industry between the 1950s to 1970s.
    The final episode charts the rise and shine of the automobile industry in India since the 1980s. It offers a ringside view of the Maruti growth story as a case study.

  • HistoryChatter enters into contemporary history in this special episode. Anirban speaks to political scientists Prof. Sudha Pai and Dr. Sajjan Kumar on the recent past and prospects of Dalit politics in Uttar Pradesh. Pai and Kumar have recently published the much-acclaimed book 'Maya, Modi and Azad: Dalit Politics in the Time of Hindutva'.
    They argue that the Bahujan Samaj Party is probably in a terminal decline and Dalits in Uttar Pradesh now display a unique paradox of political preference for the BJP in elections and political protest against perceived atrocities under the leadership of a new generation of leaders such as Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan.
    They spoke in detail about how this unique transformation gradually took place since the 1990s.

    Finally, they argue that the multiple faces of Dalit politics are not an exception, but possibly the norm. Extension of larger political and economic processes such as globalization is one of the factors behind what they see as a fragmentation of the Dalit self which they portray as a sign of deepening democracy.

    Pai and Kumar make these and many more points in the course of an engaging conversation with Anirban against the background of their new book.

  • Once the British conquered India, they invested in learning Indian languages. Initially, they searched for one common language for the whole subcontinent. The search for a common vernacular in India made an adventurer called John Gilchrist virtually invent a new language called Hindustani.

    The language was common enough in north India but its rise to the status of a pan-Indian lingua franca was a British colonial project. Yet, by the late nineteenth century, Hindustani was virtually divided down the middle into Hindi and Urdu.
    By the 1940s, the language, like the subcontinent, was literally partitioned and made to disappear.

    No one admits to speaking Hindustani in India today even when they use it in practice.

Dr. Ashish Kumar, an expert in ancient Indian history who teaches at the Punjab University, Chandigarh in a freewheeling conversation with the host Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay discusses the caterer of this most interesting archaeological discovery.

    It turns out that the figure was inaccurately characterized as a dancing girl from an Adivasi background. Dr. Kumar also offers an account of how the turns of contemporary histories, such as the partition, often determine the career and public images of historical artifacts in strangely unanticipated ways.
