The East is a Podcast

A preview of the latest episode of Anti Empire Radio by friend of the show Justin Podur. Listen to the entire conversation by subscribing to Justin's show on your podcatcher or watch it on his YouTube channel. 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. https://podur.org/2023/02/28/aer-119-that-time-when-britain-killed-10-million-indian-people-with-amaresh-mishra/ Get the printed transcript of this episode here
