How do you expect a historian to raise controversial issues???? I do believe that right after independence there was use of urdu in good measure in many films. Urdu has a good deal of hindi woven into it and has eveolved as khari boli.Hence ,in the Indian composite culture ,Urdu is a compliment to Hindi & not an antgonist. Of late,the link of underworld in bollywood is a matter of great concern for any Indian . There is general degradation in our culture ,which shows fissure and may lead to a situation where it would be difficult to manage the country. Dr Guha has expressed these concerns, Even Mian Mussaraf is concerned about radicalisation & Tailbanisation in Pakistan. He has the guts to take action. But if there is similar action in India , .. First congress or left would not allow that in the name of secularism ... There would be hue & cry in the world against the action. Secularism in India is flawed, For ,its real success ,we have to support honest and clean politicians. Congress has given birth to corruption starting from Nehru.Hence , should take balme for the failures mentioned by the historian. I also am suprised that ,he failed to mention about the left goons in WB ,who converted once prosperous WB to a backward state. Dr Guha what have got to say about leftists????
