Padikan madi avumbo nigalaanu ente motivation☺ God bless you bro

Sir, Your oreatary skill is unmatchable. The way you put up the things and connected us to your speech has definitely added interest for history among many students over there. Thank you for such an amazing session. Thank you Sri Balaji Society, Pune.

A picture creates a curiosity ,curiosity reaches the book,the book introduces a personality and then gets you following the personality ,each time throwing in light about a little bit more and more .Really happy to have found you...proud to have discovered another deserving malayalee too...eeswaran ella aishwaryangalum nalkatte...

I am shocked to see the sub standard quality of the audience (MBA Class?). Not even one could ask a question eloquently, let alone frame a sentence properly. Manu Pillai is awesome. extremely knowledgeable and a great orator.

Two dislikes? Seriously. Great talk, thanks 👍

Awesome as usual 🌻

Proud of u my hero😍😍👏👏👏

Manuuuu ...exclllllnnnntttttttttttt

Oratorial brillance 😍

Who need a cough syrup there?

Working with Tharoor a nice gentlemen has been Anglicied beyond limit....rather Victorianized in his own words. He is making political points beyond what is needed and this must be reflecting in his book.

Pirates paid propagandist ?

One of the most captivating orators I have ever seen. I never thought I'd like listening to a history lesson. Boy was I wrong. I learnt a lot about Indian history, but more importantly I discovered an amazing writer. Thank you sbs for the wonderful session!

Just halfway reading the book...and totally mind-blowing....soo much details totally infomative book...hats of to the writer...

It is excellent presentation. Yes our culture was diverse, varied, dotted, layered etc. I think it is still too. Perhaps I am proud too that he being a Malayalee learned more about history of Kerala customs, at least more than I do. But in all, what he has missed to see might be and perhaps blinding others who listen this narration is the idea of a common underlying much substratum of culture of accepting and accommodating others. Be it for some reasons, say money or land or other goodies, which we do have even now. We must ask questions like why this kind of integration didn't happen in other civilizations such as Mesapotomian or Greek? We must know that our civilization is the only ancient one which is still prevailing. All the others simply failed and wiped out from the surface of the earth. Why is that? Be it matrilineal family culture, establishment of other cultures such as European and Arabian by our own people, be it occupation by Afrian people and establishment of dynasties of them, Mughal and even British... All occurred. They accepted and acceded to our culture in the long run rather than destroying our basic civilization. Those incursions did not affect a general underlying framework of culture, which is based on tolerance, inner peace and liberation, insight on our own senses, respecting elderly, taking care of parents, getting money is a means and not the end, upholding our knowledge on eternal being, customs and life styles to understand, learn more on that eternal nature of ourselves and asking and pondering more and more deeper questions of our life. More than 40 of the ancient civilization did not able to do that. Even celebrated civilization of Greece, where most of the modern world eulogizes them as the highest intellectuals and philosophers was simply wiped out from the surface of the world. Let history be learned, but it should learn to understand what prevailed and what is lost. Why certain entities prevailed and others were lost? I think as a common man, I am looking for answers to these kind of questions. I also think that answers to these questions might perhaps find us at a common meeting point.

13:13 to get straight to the point

Manuuuu ...Weldon...great work...Ur a toppppp claaaaaaaasssssss historian ....like uuuu so soooooo much ...my warm wishes mr.manu .s.pillai

@33:53 സാമൂതിരി മഹാരാജാവ് thug life!

Manu suppppprrrrrrree

Just completing his The Ivory Throne - brilliantly researched and lucidly written - this wud be a great way to impart history to students and people in general.

Honestly Mr Manu Pillai's brilliance is blinding. Hope he is able to stay out of politics and able to generate objective material for future India.. But I am so touched by the youngsters asking the questions. Its very refreshing and raises my hope for a bright future. Sure lot of their english is broken but their thoughts are pure and clear. Let them be truly be open minded and not biased too any idealogy especially communism. Keep it up..

41:39 this went hard. The talk went harder 💯

awesome book.

WONDERFUL MANU.

Manu you are great 🙏

Something worthwhile happening

He will bring the true history of our land and thereby vanishing all fabricated stories that we are being told ...

It was so great listening to him and not for a second I thought of pausing even. I loved it and I'll be reading the books soon!

Whose hand was that

If wearing blouse was not in our culture what is the need for breast tax ??

'My book is available to buy on a discount" This is where the core of this kiddo self proclaimed historian who plays for the gallery he chooses to impress
