William Dalrymple, the Eminent Twistorian
May 8, 2019
We all know that Dalrymple is one of the finest Twistorians that we have been fortunate enough to have in our midst. We also know that he is a skilled Whitewasher, that is, a White lovingly helping us Whitewash the macabre deeds of the Mughals. Thanks so much! Read the rest of this entry »

Oh well. In these days of good connectivity & ready access to knowledge, is it so difficult to get properly formed perspectives, do critical analysis and then form informed opinions? I really wonder!
Aren’t real wise men always accessible these days, so that impressionable minds can go seek them out? Even a nondescript joker like yours truly, is able to access many of them… so, am truly and verily puzzled!
…Anyway, while you are on the job – check out my latest tweet-series about the elections and Bakhtiyar Khilji effect. Thanks!
Current example: Ashish Joshi, Indian Civil Servant – who operates the twitter handle @acjoshi. (it is kind of hard to imagine that the gent alleges that he has actually ‘studied’ History ages back and claims that he continues to do history. His Story, that is! But then, he likely follows the illustrious schools of fishy/’curated’ history propagated by the erudite RS Sharmas, Romila Thapars, Irfan Habibs, Harbans Mukhiyas, Athar Alis, Suraj Bhans and DN Jhas… …kind of Twistorians) Read the rest of this entry »

bharat, battling the two categories of pseudos – the hope
January 9, 2019
This is in the context of ‘pseudoscience’ in our Indic milieu that our illustrious intelligentsia seem to suddenly become aware of, from time to time – while conveniently & liberally forgetting their own mighty biases and dastardly nonsense.

After Emirnath, the bitter truth about Mamallahpuram
June 28, 2018
By now, thanks to Times of India to many other secular, liberal media outlets – we all know that Amarnath was indeed founded by a devout Turkic Emir, who out of sheer generosity and enormous goodwill, built the whole mountain range (in what is now known as Pahalgam area, in Anantnag district, Jammu & Kashmir) braving the bitter cold and against all odds, and thereby getting even with Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb.

Ramachandra Guha’s usual selective amnesia, ‘democratic credentials’ of Nehru and venerable Dharampal – some notes
June 26, 2018
Full disclosure: In my opinion 1) The scholarship of Prof Guha is nonexistent in general and if at all it is there, is very partisan and skillfully obfuscatory – of course, this is based on years of reading and observing him 2) Jawaharlal Nehru was a bunch of contradictions & not a democrat – in spite of what his blind hagiographers talk about in breathtakingly glowing terms 3) Dharampal as a historian, scholar and as a human being with incredible integrity, was far, far above the men of straw such as Prof Guha (I am fortunate that I was able to associate with Dharampal at some point of time – and I have also discussed with him about the incidents involving his ‘letter to all members of parliament‘ that happened in 1962; one of my nostalgic posts about my encounters with Dharampal – in Tamil)
