Kozhikode (Kerala) [India], Jan 18 (ANI): Historian Ramachandra Guha observed that hypocrisy of Indian Left as one of the
reasons behind the rise of Hindutva in India."The hypocrisy of the Indian Left is one of the reasons why Hindutva is so prominent today
The left is only in power in Kerala, but it has been in power in West Bengal, Tripura in other states
The Left has been influential in universities, intellectuals, artists and filmmakers
The left is ideologically hypocritic because of the fact that they loved other nations more than India," Guha said was speaking at the
Kerala Literature Festival here on Friday
Adding that second reason is the corruption of the Congress party, he said: "Why did you (Malayalis) elect Rahul Gandhi to Parliament
I have nothing against Rahul Gandhi personally
He is a decent fellow, very well-mannered
But young India does not want a fifth-generation dynast.""If you make the mistake of re-electing Rahul Gandhi in 2024 too, you are merely
handing over an advantage to Narendra Modi," Guha said adding that Modi's great advantage is that he is not Rahul Gandhi."Modi is
He has run a state for 15 years, he has administrative experience, he is incredibly hard-working and he never takes holidays in Europe
Believe me, I am saying all this in all seriousness," he said
The historian further said, "When I was young, Congress was not a family firm
Nehru had no desire to make Indira Gandhi his successor
The conversion of the great party of the freedom struggle into a pathetic family firm is very crucial to understand the rise of Hindutva
