Description of product
The Indians can think themselves lucky that we do not rule India. We should make their lives a misery! Adolf Hitler in 1942
Hitler s autobiography, Mein Kampf, is a perennial in India, with even street-side bookstalls prominently displaying stacks of it. The name Hitler anathema almost everywhere else in the world is tossed about casually in the Indian subcontinent, not infrequently invoked in praise. Many Indians still harbour the notion that the F hrer was a friend of the Indian people and had extended wholehearted support to their freedom struggle. To journalist and historian Vaibhav Purandare, this clearly suggested that Indians continued to be largely unaware of the German dictator s views on India, in spite of the fact that they are unambiguously expressed in his own writings. This lacuna spurred him on to delve into the archives in Germany, India and elsewhere.
The result of Purandare s research is this comprehensive and painstaking portrait and analysis of Hitler s outlook on India and its people, his opinion of their struggle against the British Raj, and his take on Indian history, culture and civilisation.
