Transferred after he praised Jawaharlal Nehru in a Facebook post, IAS officer Ajay Singh Gangwar Friday said that it was the government’s “prerogative” to move him out, but it was an “ideological issue”. Speaking to The Indian Express, Gangwar, who was transferred within nine months of his first independent posting as a district collector, said, “I think it’s an ideological issue. They are promoting certain icons and I was praising someone else (Nehru). What’s wrong in teaching history to the younger generation, which is unaware of his contribution and is forming wrong perceptions about him.” The 54-year-old was on Thursday transferred by the Madhya Pradesh government as deputy secretary in the Secretariat in Bhopal “on a temporary basis till further orders”.

Gangwar, who was till now posted as the district collector of Barwani, has also served as special assistant to former chief minister and AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh in the past. “The talk about stopping India from becoming a Hindu Rashtra figures in constitutional assembly debates. There’s nothing new about it but people must know,” Gangwar said, defending his post, which credited Nehru with stopping India “from becoming a Hindu Talibani country” in 1947.

Why did Hindus in India side with Muslims in the First War of Independence against the Brits in 1857 -- were they already leaning towards talibanism, even long before Nehru?

the british policy of 'Divide and Rule' was only formulated and implemented after the 1857-9 indian war of independence. It was this 'Divide and Rule' policy which ultimately resulted in the demand for Pakistan.
