Guess this should put a lid on the academic historians being responsible for the rise of WhatsApp history nonsense.

Before people start pointing fingers at the less senior academics for not doing Public history work, listing some ongoing projects: Delhi’s oral histories, The ownership of Public history in India, Itihashe hatekhori, an in prep graphic novel on migrant labourers and food culture

Entire Indian history professors' life work is to prove how Muslims were benevolent rulers,when the latter themselves gave ample evidence on the contrary. Other than that,no original contribution nor any original research work. It's all silly rhetoric and unscientific rambling.

She should be sent to the gulags

Yudhishthira from Mahabharat had the image of King Ashoka in his mind while renouncing the kingdom Gems of this old Marxist hag. She should start coughing tbh

She is a national Treasure ! Yes indeed - she reminds us - TWO imp things 1. We should look at multiple sources of evidence in historical accounts. 2. India’s strength is found not in majoritarian views but debates in the interstices of different cultures!

Additionally, there are full time lecturers who devote their weekends to translating history books from English to regional languages for students enrolled in the open university system. Pubic history is not all abt social media, real life & people also exists beyond it.

By linking historical anti-cultism to the rise of Nazi Germany, the article serves as a warning about the dangers of intolerance and the potential for its escalation into widespread human rights abuses.

Such Historians are on the brink of becoming obsolete/ irrelevant. Wait for a decade or two. Block publishing of newer research challenging/refuting theirs. Failed miserably in Supreme Court, Ram Janma Bhumi case.

SM is a popular medium & not everyone is comfortable beating their own drum/listing their credentials. Public history, not necessarily pop history, is not just myth busting. It is equally about engagement with different communities. There is no one righteous model of going abt it

She talks a lot for someone who claims to be an expert on Indian History and doesn't even know basic sanskrit. All her life she & likes of Irfan Habib have peddled an agenda...which is NOT backed by facts.
