My deep respect for you Irfan sir From an Alig

Every Bollywood song is incomplete without Urdu and all romantic songs are entirely Urdu so Urdu is definitely not dying. Just people misunderstand Urdu as Hindi

इरफान हबीब को बतौर अग्रेरियन और एकॉनमिक हिस्टोरियन के जानता था , भाषा विज्ञान में इन की इतनी गहरी पकड़ है न जानता था

Lal Salam sir.you always inspire me.

Urdu is being used all over the world, even in US, I find Apna Bazaar, Bharat Bazaar, and a lot of adbi majalis and mushaire, so I don't think Urdu is dying, it seemed twenty years ago that Urdu is decaying but now I see Urdu has a bright future.

Thanks sir

behtreen

irfan habib very intelligent person

सुसाइड वाले रात आइआइटी के एक होनहार छात्र गालिब को सुनते रहे और मर गये😂 इरफ़ान साहब ने सबको चौंका दिया।

Irfan Habib is the star of history discipline! 😎❤️

ऐसा प्रतीत होता है जैसे कि हम अरब में बेठे हो।

करांची भी एक शहर था। १९४७ मे ५४% हिन्दु थे, आज १% भी नही रहे। बंगलादेश मे भी ३२% हिन्दुओं मे सिर्फ ८% बचे है। यही है भाईयो का काफिर चारा।

Irfan habeeb saheb ki jagah lene wala koi nahi hai bahut hi ghair mamooli baton sey ba khabar kartey hai bahut great historian hain Allah salamat rakhey

He is treasure of knowledge

Very informative interview. Irfan Habib is a great scholar. One thing I would like to point out, though, is that “zauf-e-badan” ضعفِ بدن (at 36:55) does not really break the izafat rule. “Badan” here is the Persian word بدن meaning “body” and not the Sanskrit derived बदन (from वदनम्) meaning face. Probably a slip of tongue.

Adab both of you.

GOOD

ईरफान हबीब हिस्टोरियन के लिबास में कुछ और ही बाँट रहे हैं हिस्ट्री के सोधकरता की निष्पक्षता ही संदिग्ध हो जाये और एक पक्ष और विचारधारा से जुड़े व्यक्ति चाहे कोई भी हो वह विश्वास योग्य नहीं हो सकता हैं ।

Bahut umdah aur ilmi guftagoo, Irfan Habib saheb hamesha ki tarah. Lekin jab wo meer ka zikr karte hain to us se zahir ho raha hai ke unhone apni kitab 'Nikat ush shora lucknow men likhi jab ki wo ye kitab delhi men likhne ke qarib 25 sal bad lucknow gai the, doosre wo badan ko Hindi lafz kahte hain jab ke badan Arbi lafz hai.

Irfan Habib is wrong regarding Iqbal ..Iqbal metaphorically meant Whats the use of that land which wont provide any sustenance ? Irfan Habib took it literally..Poets are interpretated not translated.

Good job

Great man irfan habib sir

عرفان حبیب صاحب کی علمیت، بے باکی اور صاف گویٔ کی بہر حال قدر کرنی چاہیے لیکن جیسا کہ عرض کرچکا ہوں انہیں اپنےمذہبی احساسات کو اپنی ذات ہی کی حد تک محدود کرلینا چاہیے ۔۔ بہرحال میں معذرت خواہ ہوں اگر کہیں تلخ نوایٔ کا تاثر ابھرا ہو : رکھیو غالبؔ مجھے اس تلخ نوایٔ سے معاف ۔۔ آج کچھ درد مرے دل میں سوا ہوتا ہے !

Irfan habib ji u r great

one can use titles like padma bhushan or bharat ratna as a suffix but not as a prefix.

What about Pali pakit sir

عرفان حبیب صاحب کے بارے میں اکثر یہ سنا اور لکھا گیا ھے کہ وہ ایک صفحہ اول کے مؤرخ ھیں مگر ریختہ کے توسط سے پہلی بار دنیا نے یہ جانا کہ وہ زبانوں کی تاریخ سے بھی بخوبی واقف ہیں ، دراصل ایک بڑے عالم ( scholer ) کی یہ خصوصیت ہوتی ھے کہ اس کی نظر اپنے علمی میدان کے علاؤہ بھی علم کے سرچشموں سے بھی وہ دلچسپی رکھتا ھے تبھی اس کے نظریات میں وسعت پیدا ھوتی ھے ۔ شکیل عظیم مورخہ 12 اکتوبر سنہ بیس سو بائیس ۔

Irfan Habib is a good historian

Christianity says Jesus is the only way for salvation Islam says Shahada/kalma(azan,use for conversion to islam and core ideology) : la ilaha illallah muhammdur Rasulullah Meaning : There is no god worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammed is his slave and messenger This both statement are created to form a special category or tribe and thus are political..... Abrahamic religion are political ideology....... Islam is a Institution ..... Christianity is a Institution....but in Hindusim/Sanatan...you yourself are the Institution...that is you are Atman....and you should follow Dharma of your Atman.....

عرفان صاحب نے سعدی کے جن الفاظ کا حوالہ دیا کہ 'اعضائے یک دیگر اند'، وہ دراصل قول رسول اکرم کا تقریبن ترجمہ ہے: ' مثل المؤمنين في توادهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم مثل الجسد إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمى'۔ و بمعنی اور بھی اصلن فارسی نہیں، عربی ہے۔ اور ہر چیز کی جنس طے کرنے کا رویہ بھی عربی سے مستعار ہے جس میں ہر شے یا مذکر ہے یا مؤنث۔ فرانسیسی میں بھی ایسا ہی ہے۔ مثلن عربی میں قلم اور کتاب دونوں مذکر ہیں، اور سورج مذکر ہے۔ البتہ اردو والوں کو ان چیزوں کی جنس مختلف نظر آئی۔

عرفان حبیب صاحب نے اپنی عالمانہ گفتگو میں ہندوستانی زبانوں اور اُردو، ریختہ کے حوالے سے سیر حاصل گفتگو فرمایٔ لیکں حیرت اور افسوس ہے کہ موصوف نے حیدرآباد دکن کا کہیں ذکر نہیں فرمایا ۔۔۔ جہاں اُردو نے سب سے پہلے ادبی زبان کی حیثیت اختیار کی ۔۔ ولی ؔدکنی کی شاعری جو دراصل ریختہ تھی اور جس کی پیروی شمالی ہندوستاں کہ شاعروں نے کی ،اس کا تذکرہ بھی گوارا نہ فرمایا ۔۔ اُردو کی تاریخ کے ذکر میں اگر کویٔ حیدر آباد کو نظرانداز کرتا ہے تو اسے کم علم یا ایک متعصّب شخص سمجھا جاۓ گا ۔ نیز عرفان حبیب صاحب نے جگہ جگہ مذہب، خصوصاً اسلام سے تعصب کا اظہار فرمایا ہے جو افسوس ناک ہے کہ ایک عالِم فاغل شخص کو نہایت وسیع نظر کا حامل ہونا چاہیے اپنی عالمانہ گفتگو میں غیر ضروری طور اپنی ذاتی نفرت کا اظہار نہیں ہونا چاہیے طنزیہ گفتگو سے اجتناب کرنا چاہیے کیونکہ اس طرزِعمال کی وجہ سےتمام گفتگو ، دلائل اور پیدا کردہ نتائج مشکوک ہوجاتے ہیں، کہنے والے پر اعتماد مشکل ہوجاتا ہے ۔۔۔

ਮੈਂ ਅੱਜ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਅਨੰਦ ਨਾਲ ਹਿਸਟਰੀ ਦੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਲੈ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ

केवल मुगलिया । मुगल इतिहास को भारत मे स्थापित करने मे आपने काफी दगाबाजी फरेबी की है लेकिन सब झूठ जगजाहिर है ।

Some facts on history of islam and sindh, (part 1) a. It is said at the time of death prophet mohammed was suffering from poisoning in food. the muslims blamed it on jews. But everyone knows Aiysha was his favorite he ate at her place. Muslim dont talk about the death of prophet mohd by poisoning. b. During the Farewell Sermon, also known as Muhammad's Final Sermon or the Last Sermon, is believed by Muslims to have been delivered by the Islamic prophet, Muhammad on the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, 10 AH in the Uranah valley of Mount Arafat, during the Islamic pilgrimage of Hajj. In this final sermon which was attended by 10000 people (in todays count this would be like 1 million people) the prophet announced his successor as his son in law Ali. He asked Umar and Abu Bakr to support him, Umar has in this very sermon promised to support Ali, but soon after this the 1st caliph Abu Bakr and the 2nd caliph Umar hatch out a plan. To poison Mohammed and to take control of the Zakat funds after death of the prophet. b. After Prophet mohammed died abu bakr (father of the 7 year old Aiysha) forcefully became 1st caliph of Islam . But fatima the daughter of prophet mohammed did not accept him as caliph, so abu bakr sent the 2nd caliph Umar to visit her. He came and burned the house of the prophets daughter Fatima and he is the one who pushed fatima which caused her abortion. This is not a fiction it is mentioned in sahi bhukhari and sahi muslim but muslim pretend to turn a blind eye to this. c. When prophet mohammed was alive he had treaties with all his neighbours, then moment prophet mohammed died all the treaties with neighbours were broken or lets just say violated (disrespecting prophet mohammed treaties) and this is how the caliphate was expanded by the very people who hijacked islam or killed the prophets family. d. Before prophet mohammed died he had announced his successor, yet when prophet mohd died there was a power struggle. e. The reign of each of the caliphs did not last long, there was a rebellion within 20 days of Abu Bakr announcing himself as caliph. Abu Bakr's era: 632-634 Umar's era: 634-644 Uthman's era: 644-656 Every muslim knows Aiysha fought with in a battle of camels with Ali but was defeated by ali. the son in law of mohammed, fatima husband . f. caliph uthman who was a umayyad himself converted and was responsible for compilation of quran 130 years after prophet died. it is said he did this piece by piece verse by verse and then destroyed the original collections and all existing copies of the prophets teachings. Best way to do a crime is to destroy all traces of your criminal actis. g. prophet mohd was never in favor of taxes but caliph utman installed his umayyad (non-muslim) cousins as governor of alexandria and then collected taxes from muslims. he was also killed by muslims due to discontent of the muslims. after uthans death the opposite party was so scared that they allowed ali the husband of fatima to become 4th caliph, but he was not allowed to govern. the opp party did to him exactly what congress is doing to modi. ali was not allowed to govern eventually killed. h. Prophet mohd grand sons Hassan and hussain were killed in karbala there are sindhi folk tales and books written 1000s of years ago which suggest hindus defended grandson in karbala yet muslims will not tell you this. there is a sect in india for centuries called hussaini brahmins, they are hindus who participate in muharram but muslims will not tell you this. It is said that when the prophets family was being persecuted then they got refuge and shelter from a hindu king called raja dahir. it is said that Imam hussain wife shahrbanu’s sister (daughter of a persian king) was married to a hindu gupta king so they were relatives. Hence the family was going to hindustan as a Hindu king gave refuge to the family of prophet Mohammed, when they were escaping persecution in Arabia. i, It is well known fact that hejaj bin yusuf governor of Iraq had killed 4 companions of prophet, yet muslims call mohammed bin qasim as their hero knowing very well that mohammed bin yusuf was only a general appointed by yusuf bin hejaj. The orders to attack actually came from hejaj bin yusuf.. yet muslims call muhammad bin qasim as their hero. j. It is well known fact that Raja Dahir had given shelter in Sindh to a well-known follower and family of Imam Hussian, Muhammad Bin Allafi?a man much sought by the Umayyad in their deadly hunt for eliminating the last of the Ahl-e-Bait (Prophet Muhammad?s immediate family). That, according to some very believable sources, Dahir had even offered asylum to Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed, who was being persecuted by other muslim at home. That as a result of this offer, Hussain was on his way to Sindh when he was seized at Karbala in Iraq and killed most viciously. Yet muslims ignore this truth and create false stories about him. k. If is well known fact that the gupta king wife and Imam hussain wife shahrbanu were sisters yet muslims ignore these facts when I say hindus were related to Imam hussain family. l. Rajab dutt and his 7 sons and several hindus died in battle of karbala yet muslims ignore these facts. In subsequent battle ghaznavi kille the entire dutt village. m. Sanatan dharma has been looking after interest of good muslims from the beginning of islam religion, we have been always compassionate to muslims but the same is not happening in Pakistan and Bangladesh where not only hindus have been exterminated but even minority muslims right are being suppressed. n, It was hindustan where a hindu king build the earliest mosque in 7th century (631, while prophet mohd was still alive ) so that the arab traders could rest and pray. The land of this mosque was donated by hindu king who had good relations with prophet mohammed due to trade between them. o. It was prophet mohd who said that mujhe hindustan se dandi hawa aati hai but muslims ignore these facts and partitioned pakistan from India (hindustan). j, after the killing of prophets family and Imam Hussain in arabia, mohammed bin qasim was sent to capture the family members of prophet mohd / Imam hussain who had taken refuge with hindu king. He was sent to kill or bring them back alive. Mohammed bin qasim succeeded in killing raja dahir who as per persian book chacha nama fought valiantly , he was sindhi king. many sindhi girls including raja dahir daughter taken as slaves to iraq. But raja dahir girls were very clever they took revenge of death of their father in a witty way causing death of mohd bin qassim, this is also written in centuries old persian book called chahchnama. k. Meanwhile mohammed bin qasim defeated by raja rawal , ( the name rawal pindi is given due to raja rawal victory of mohammed qasim) . sindh was home to sindhis. muhammad bin qsim was forced to retreat but meanwhile the governor of iraq died and there was a change and in his place came another governor. raja dahir daughters who were very clever told the king we are not suitable for you as mohd bin qasim already rape us, so governor of iraq was angry due to ego, he order mohammed qasim to be brought in his darbaar. his men put mohd in qasim in a camel skin and locked him in a box brought him to baghdad but he died out of suffocation. l, in total the army of muslims attacked 21 times before mohammed bin qasim they were defeated and sent back alive only the 21st time they were defeated and the problem with hindus no other hindus came together they were too busy fighting each other so when external enemy came he took advantage of the division among hindus. In history we always defeated due to not being united this time again if hindus will not unite external enemy will get better of us. j sindhis were affected in sindh and islamic wars many daughters were made slaves and sons killed, then many opf them went to padmavati husband kingdom in rajasthan, then when he was attacked. king made the business community all sindhi business community run away from tunnels, we ran back to thatha and other parts of sindh. But the bollywood is glorifying allauddin khilji funding coming from pakistan/arabs who knows where.for movies . k. sikh gurus gave their and their children life to protect hindus. congressis and sickulars use to tease sardars...sardarji 12 baj gaye kya It is at 12 the sardars use to attack mughals to release hindu girls who were captured by moghals ...think again when saying sardarji barah baj gaye it means he was the one to protect the hindu girls at 12. j, khiljis were the ones who burned hindu libraries in nalanda and tasksheela. 1000s of books were tajen to arab lands and translated from sanskrit to arabic using our own people. this discoveries from the book led to golden age of the arabs, then these books when to europe after translation. k. Greek called us Indes, from there we got name India. were as persians use to call us hindos from there we were called hindus, note hindu is not a word in geeta or vedas, it is a forien word. can you imagine how much persecution of mothers that they did not teach religion to children for 800 years for fear of daughter being raped or sons being killed this lead to superstitions in hindus. hindus paid jizya tax for not following islam. but 800 years of mughals were like ISIS congress hides all this did not put any hindu history in our school history books. moghals were mongols who killed millions of arabs, then were brainwashed to convert to islam then diverted to hindustan. this is just summary how we are linked with prophet of islam and the history of islam. no muslims will say this cause, of point F. all of them follow uthman quran. Indian muslims be happy you are in India not in pakistan.

He said nothing about Indraprastha and Hastinapur.And said very little about Preetiraj Chauhan.And never said that Kutubuddin,Illtutmis are invaders.

इरफान हबीब काे, राजा भाेज,राजा विक्रमादित्य, राजा लचीत बाेर फुंकन का इतिहास मालुम नही है उन्हे सिर्फ मुघल इतिहास मालुम है

Irfan habib can ask muslims to not take shariat seriously...like interest and alcohol...but if BJP says the same he loses his mind.

Gadunama biggest book written on mugal kings he never told us

Muslim historian left so many controversial history our secular communist avoid to tell

Mr. Habib khud ko atheist btaa rahe hain. Atheist se badha jaahil aur kaun ho sakta hai. Aise namoone bohot kum hain duniya mei. Atheist toh Guri Nanak, Gautam Buddha, bhi nahi thhey. Ameer Khusrau ki baat kar rahe hain, bohot kattar muslim mujaahid thhey woh. Nizamuddin Auliya ek behetreen Sufi Muslim thhey. Atheist toh koi nahi tha badhi shaksiyaton mei se.

Bloody hell why don't you talk about what was Delhi before 800 CE? Why would you? It will be agst your paid ideology. Why don't you talk of culture of Indraprasth? The interviewer and interviewee scratching each other's back.

Al takiya

atheist ideology is basic flavour and gradually mixed with facts, a silent cocktail.

Sad to know he is a athist!

Such horrible bit pieces presentation need opposite expert to balance

Hindustani Turk ki jay ho! He has very fond memories of kut budin and mughals. Poor thing, aabad & fatah pe rukawat a gayi, as Sultan had changed.

Even though, they are living in India, one cannot find any hindu connect or references in their talks. Cynicism towards Hindu systems and people and great appreciation of other country( in this case Persia and their language) in discussion is part and parcel of these experts.

Shayad kuchh vidvano????????????????????????? Ko lal kile main hone vali khudai main milne vali ek samayavdhi ki history ki jankari honi chahiye.

Irfan jo ek Hindu tha

To listen Habib irfan totally wastage of time. He made many blunders
