After civilising (read 'exploiting and ruining') the Gujarat region of India the British you can imagine their indignation when the locals suggested that maybe they could do a better job on their own. Enter Dadabhai Nasroji, a man who held a mirror up to the hypocrisy of Britain's administration of India, kick-starting the push for home rule and taking his mission all the way to Parliament. He is without a doubt one of the most important men you have (probably) never heard of. Guest Host: Jack Heathcote<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Dadabhai Nasroji - Assuming the best in politicians was a bold move

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
