    Of reform and resistanceBy: paritosh | 02-May-2009 Reply | Forward For ages, historians and columnists of Mr. Malhotra's clan have thrived in Delhi societies-network by eugolising Nehru. While the survivors are unable to continue their habit, some members of their descendant generation (the JNU brand, in parcular) choose to adopt that avocation. So, while I appreciate the lamenting of Atul, I find his expectation from these clumnists is removed from the ground realities!
    DetailsBy: Atul | 01-May-2009 Reply | Forward I have often found that when people write about history details are never provided. It is left to imagination / self motivated research of the reader to figure out why people were opposed to the Hindu Code bill and what the issues were. It paints historical characters in negative light (Rajendra Prasad, Mukherjee etc.) by painting them as status quoists and Nehru and Ambedkar as modernizers. That may be very well be true but readers should be allowed to make their own judgement rather than be lectured on this.
