Talking to Amaresh Mishra, author of the giant book India 1857:
War of Civilisations about the immense scale of the Indian
revolution against British imperialism that year: the scale of
Hindu-Muslim unity, the class aspect of the revoution, the scale of
the genocidal British massacres that followed (Mishra’s estimate is
that the British killed 10 million Indians), and the importance of
the so-called “1857 line”: the spiritual, cultural, political and
economic connection between Hindu and Muslim in South Asia and
resistance to Anglo-American imperialism, the recovery of which is
the only way for South Asia to take its place in the world. We
analyze Modi’s politics since 2014 and the continuing weakness of
pro-Western ideologies (whether of the Congress or Hindutva
variety) when faced with revolutionary politics.
