Indians know intuitively that the history imposed on us is not our history at all. It is the history of invaders glorifying their invasions. And yet, for over 70 years of independence, we Indians have not managed to cleanse the biases of the colonial imposition of history on us. Sanjeev Sanyal makes a case for telling Indian history the way it happened to us – from the perspective of Indians.

Shri Sanjeev Sanyal talks about the Bengal Volunteers who carried out several armed resistance led by Subhash Chandra Bose. He mentions how Netaji Subhash Bose had difficulty working with the Gandhian establishment and then formed a sub group called the Forward Bloc and re-established contacts with the old revolutionaries like Rash Behari Bose and Sachindra Nath Sanyal.
