A new book, ‘The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company’, authored by well-known Scott historian William Dalrymple, has said that a major reason for the success of the East India Company (EIC), which “colonized” the country between 1600 and 1857, was the support it got from Indian financiers or moneylenders, including Jagat Seth of Calcutta, Gokul Das of Benaras and other “Hindu bankers” of Patna and Allahabad.

Looking at the present state of affairs in India, the birthplace of Gandhi, one would probably surmise that Gandhism, whatever the term may mean, cannot have any relevance in this twenty-first century. Gandhi is rightly called the Father of the Nation because he single-handedly stood up against the mighty British Empire, without any arms, and brought independence to India. However, today, Gandhi is mostly forgotten and his relevance questioned even by his ardent devotees. Today, Gandhi is remembered in India mostly on his birthday, which is celebrated as a national holiday, rather as a ritual.
