“’Quit India’: The Last Nail in the Coffin of the British Empire”: The movement took a turn not contemplated by Gandhi and the Congress leaders. Also: “81 Years Ago, Launching the Quit India Movement, Gandhi Had Warned Us of Our Current State”.
It is a well-known fact that during the Quit India Movement, the RSS sided with V.D. Savarkar’s Hindu Mahasabha. In the midst of the ‘do or die’ call by the Mahatma, it “kept itself within the law”.
In his landmark book, Dennis Dalton had originally examined the approaches of Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Gandhi, and Tagore.
“Muslim Life in India Has Become Dangerously Uncertain”. Also: “Fear, Depression in Indian Muslims Is Palpable Even Among Those Who Are ‘Privileged’”. The bigotry, both open and with dogwhistles, is leading us towards a downward spiral that will derail the Indian nation.

For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
