“Indian Civilization is an Idea But Also an Enigma”: Author of ‘Indians’ 

Lot of nonsense in that

@@FreddieMurphy746 Wonder, was this supposed to be a debate? Or, was it just a conversation to know more about the author and his works?

@@FreddieMurphy746There does not have to be 'the other side'. Its not black and white. Sometimes there is only one side or there are many sides. Most things are not binary. And, there is nothing to 'rebut' here. Why don't you do it, wisecrack, rather than leaving a vague comment?

Every radical scholar is an oxymoron, be it Hindutvavaadi, Ummahvaadi, Khalistani, Vaampanthi. Every right wing and left wing indoctrination is horrible and dangerous.

@lingunite. Comment from a Hindutvavadi Thanks for your arrogant Comment. Please be in your elitist bubble, so that we can reach out to all section of society

@@sreedhark.r.1532 I don't know somebody misread me. I meant a sensible and scholastic person cannot be a bigot

Absolutely agree with you.

Mashallah

Yes, I agree. There are still so many holes which could have been filled admirably by Mr Arora.

haha well history is only so much. we are adding to it as we speak.

this book is entirely correct..

Disagree. Do you not remember episode 4, "The Ikshvakus of Andhra Pradesh", and half of episode 7, on Marco Polo's visit to the coastal south? Add episode 8 on Vijayanagar and that's 2.5 episodes out of 10 devoted entirely to the south (plus others bits here and there).

@@Indian-xj5ww Agree and disagree. Yes here and there...not fully. So even based on your view of 2.5 episodes out of 10, doesn't justify.

How can one forget the cholas ?!

this is not unbigoted history. this is biases towards brahmins

@@jidrit999 Is it shame and guilt thats making you hide behind this rejection of history. Will you also then deny that Ambedkar wasn't one of victims of caste based oppression?

@@debashistalukdar5523 whole of history is not caste Based oppression, neither all Brahmins were like that. Bhakti movement was reform movement in this direction where many Upper caste so called participated n has disciples from all castes. This series however whitewashed all brutality of islamic rule on hindus. This video series has not done any justification to spiritual prowess of Hindus and made many unproven claims like Brahminism finished Buddhism. This is not surprising as this video is sponsored by Raza academy

@@jidrit999 of course not, the author is not polarized for sure. And may be not all upper castes were delusional. Like not all Germans picked up weapons against jews, but 6 million jews did die at the hands of Germans. So if a German says history is biased against them, guess your stomach will turn. Moreover evils were done by hindu kings upon others as well. But their religion is not dragged in to fit a popular narrative, like the current one. Moreover history is for education, not exact revenge, coz no one is clean I guess. So a request, let's just keep it that way. Enjoy history, learn from it with open mind.

timestamps?

Karan Thapar should interview Muslim politicians and ask about सर तन से जुदा, हलाला, तीन तलाक, 😅

​@1008apocalypse1008 Muslims make demands on the basis of religion. But shamelessly beg democracies to treat them on tolerance.

​@@1008apocalypse1008❤❤ sanghi janvaron ko aql Kam he

Are you joking! Modi only gives interview to equals such as Akshay Kumar😂

It SEEMS? There is no seeming. India IS now a fascist state. It was never a true democracy to begin with, considering its feudal past and mindset, but with Modi India has given up all pretensions at being a democracy.

Hello, Mr. Pillai as you said you brought the book can you give a brief review about it? I was also planning to buy Namit Arora's book. Are there more information in the book than there are in the series?

What? 😂😂

😂. Because he is always soft on left leaning folks. His hard stance is nowhere to be seen.

@@Rajasthani710 please get serious, I'm tired of these childish echo chamber Indian points. Bharat was named after a king of a tiny kingdom near Nepal. And, secondly all religious texts have names in a story, it doesn't mean anything, we can't make grand conclusions from names in a religious story, it's ridiculous. Just like bharat mata was taken from a play written little over 100 years ago, and it was bengla mata, not bharat mata, borrowed from that and now presented as something historical and much larger. We're discussing history, not fantasies and wild conclusions taught to Indian citizens in the absence of any rational or factual discussions. India is an echo chamber, stories have been created to justify the existence of a country created in 1947. It took the British 100 years to reach from bengal to punjab, not because it was a single country, they conquered a region, by defeating many kingdoms. That's the story of every region in the world. They don't create childish stories based on lies and fantasies. You guys live in a fantasy.

@@Rajasthani710 A kingdom in the northern parts of India.

@@youknow6968 Wow! You hit the nail on the head! We are now busy concocting history out of our febrile imaginations. We take a small piece of factual history and then spin a grand story around it suit our ideological inclinations, and then call it modern history (as opposed to colonial version).

@@Rajasthani710 Many 'fantastic' things too were mentioned in these epic stories. Are we to believe them too?

@@Rajasthani710 Perhaps you need a crash course in history. Columbus did not venture to find Bharatvarsha. He sailed to find India, or rather a shorter way to India. At that time India was the richest nation in the world trading in spices, textiles, and other goodies. India was known from the times of the Romans, and even earlier. Even the people of IVC/Harappan Civilisation traded with Mesopotamia. So please get your "chronology" right.

Absolutely. When leftists can't counter with facts and data, they resort to name calling.

People of the South are just satisfied with domination of the North. Delimiation will further quash them.

Scholars across the world specifically advise students to avoid Wikipedia. Not only DU, I saw Rutgers university syllabus on South Asia. Same view on Wikipedia- not to be trusted, not to be quoted in research papers

क्योंकि evm में कोई गड़बड़ नहीं है। तुम अपनी सोच बदलो। शरिया नहीं चलेगा।

You are free to watch hindtuva 'scholars', if that exists.

@@alani3992 : Really??....You are all Albert Einsteins.....you guys are running for cover for a decade now. Who you think people like SaiDeepak, Anand Ranganathan or Vikram Sampath are?? How stupid of these people to talk nonsense. whom do yo have Karan Thapar? What a Joke.
