Ram Guha

I imagine that Guha could have marshalled many arguments to reject Rahul Gandhi and dismiss those of us who have the courage of our conviction in publicly standing by him.

Anonymous, unknown, or a dynast. Doesn't matter. I will root for any and every person working for more liberty, equality and fraternity in India. And I will quietly pray for mutual goodwill among all these persons.

A war of words has erupted on Twitter over Foreign Minister Subramanian Jaishankar's assertion, citing a book, that Jawaharlal Nehru did not want Sardar Patel in his first cabinet in 1947.

Noted historian Ramchandra Guha, in a series of tweets on Sunday, attempted to put to rest what he called the "kerfuffle" over his remarks on Rahul Gandhi's presence in the Congress aiding the BJP, saying it was made in the broader context of "Modi, Hindutva and India".

Girish Karnad may have been in the crosshairs of many over his social and political views, but that's not what Ramachandra Guha -- historian and his contemporary in the arts -- would like to remember him for. Mr Guha says there was much more to the 81-year-old artiste, who died at a Bengaluru hospital around 6.30 am today, than the activism he freq...

For the past week or so, The Indian Express has been running a fascinating debate on the place of Muslims in our polity and society. Much as I have been tempted to leap into the debate at the Express, I thought I would make my contribution to the much larger audience available at ndtv.com. So, here goes.

The BJP has sent a legal notice to historian Ramachandra Guha, who had alleged that journalist Gauri Lankesh's killers could be from the Sangh Parivar - a group of organisations led by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP's ideological mentor.
