The Indian National Congress was founded by a British spy, Allen O Hume, for channelising the freedom movement along safe lines, confined to friendly debates among rich people.
Mohanlal Gandhi changed it into a mass movement involving the Harijans and poor Muslims too..
When India became free, Gandhi wanted to disband the Congress Party which was an umbrella organization, with warring factions pulling to the Left and the Right, formed solely for fighting for freedom.
But the leaders of the party wanted to rule, on the basis of the good will generated during the freedom struggle. Nehru and Indira Gandhi tried to steer clear of the pulls of the United States and the USSR during the cold war years, with a slight tilt towards the Russia. Kissinger even called her “that bitch.”
All this time, CIA made inroads into Bureaucracy. When Manmohan Singh became the Finance Minister, with the sole object of introducing Globalization, when Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister, the anti- communist lobby, nurtured by the CIA became active. The economic reforms meant to transform the mixed economy into purely private economy, was resisted by the Left forces, on whose support the ministry depended for survival. At that time, the privatization drive had to be halted.
Now the Congress does not care for any body. They have used their brute majority to push oil prices, even as the common man is groaning, with essential items getting costlier by the day.
The revelations about the role of CIA and Rajiv Gandhi, in getting Anderson out of India, with help from the Central Government, has put the Congress party in jeopardy.
This may prove to be the Dunkirk for the Party.
