SANYAL POINTS AT DELIBERATE OBFUSCATION OF CERTAIN PARTS OF INDIAN HISTORY
'Brit collaborators turned vital figures post Independence'

SANJEEV Sanyal, member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Economics Advisory Council, in a session titled 'Lessons from Lost History' at the 13th ThinkEdu Conclave, highlighted some lesser-known chapters of India's past.

In a conversation with Ravi Shankar, journalist and consulting editor of The Sunday Standard on the day two of the conclave, Sanyal explored what he described as deliberate obfuscation of certain parts of Indian history "This obfuscation of certain parts of Indian history was done by 'collaborators' of the Britishers who later became the intellectual elite after India's independence in 1947," claimed Sanyal.

To validate this theory, he discussed Mewa Singh Lopoke, a member of the Sikh Ghadar party in 1910, who had shot down the British Canadian WC Hopkinson. The Ghadar Party, an armed resistance group fighting for India's independence, was among many revolutionary efforts, Sanyal argued, deliberately buried from mainstream narratives.
