Intellectual Collusion with Invaders

United in Values, Divided in Name – BJP and the Urban Naxals

In the first of the articles on this subject, we examine the values of the different political parties and scrutinise them to see if their values really make them any different, especially where Hindus are concerned. With an introduction examining the values of the (then) CPI and the icons of the economic right wing, we examine the roots of intellectual collusion with the British and trace the collusion of one specific person, Nirad Chaudhuri. We continue with an examination of the values of Nirad Chaudhary whose work has been lauded by many of the intellectual leaders of the economic right wing.

Of Surjo Sens and Netra Sens – the Anatomy of an Intellectual Collusion with the British Invaders

In the second of the articles on this subject, we create class identifiers for the resistors (Surjo Sen) and the colluders (Netra Sen) and examine how the Netra Sens have been continuing the tradition of intellectual collusion by continuing propaganda against the locals, on behalf of the invaders. One particular icon of the economic RW elites, Nirad Chaudhuri, has been examined for his sexual innuendoes against and his objectification of the resisting Indian women fighting the British invaders, his rape fantasies involving Subhas Bose, one of the foremost leaders of the Indian resistance, and his continued colonial propaganda which embarrassed even the scholars of the Allied side, to the extent that they were compelled to criticise him. Further, we trace the continuing propaganda by the admirers of Nirad against the Hindu Bengalis, and observe that the tradition of Netra Sen remains solidly ensconced in the Indian economic RW.
