Narratives on Birth of India

 Formation of India as a Nation: 

We are nearing 75 years of "Azadi": The narratives of freedom struggle, freedom fighters of various hues, partition et al were a necessity in the earlier years to consolidate our Nationhood. We must now look at the "history' with hindsight of 20/20. 

​The British directly ruled 45% of the Indian Subcontinent administered thru  13 Provincial governments (read State Governments). The British withdrew in Aug 1947, and passed on the sovereignty of these 13 Provinces to two entities called India and Pakistan, albeit partitioning two, namely Punjab and Bengal. Two more nations joined the other independent nations, like Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Hyderabad, Mysore, Travancore, Junagarh Jodhpur, Coochbehar and about 550 others on the Indian Subcontinent. 

On these 'bare facts' we need to build new narratives so that the Governance Structures of the successor nations (Seven?) work to ensure a pleasant life journey for their respective Praja. And we 'survive as a Nation t​o celebrate our 150th.  

Geographic's of Indian Subcontinent

 A Random Thought  

A Raw Sweet & Smelly fact : India as a Nation, a political construct came into existence only in 1947. 

British Crown could relinquish political suzerainty over 60% of subcontinental landmass, the rest being 565 "nations' now euphemistically called "princely states"-yellow areas in Map. 

Attributing the political social and cultural events of the subcontinent to Indian Nation of today is the biggest fudge in communications - in many cases "motivated".  

Faith in Judiciary (?)

 Faith in Judiciary

Munawar Faruqui repeated the stock phrase of "faith in judiciary" after being released (reluctantly) from jail after 38days.  

Will the UP Police arrest him now? Against an FIR filed in May 2020? 

"We the People" don't have resources to appeal to Supreme Court. The citizen therefore must be able to say " I have faith in Police/Administration" so that s/he is not stuffed into jail frivolously/ or for any naughtiness. 

If taken into custody, must never be more than 15 days within which preliminary charges must be made-and be tried.
