Back in the day, I used to listen to his podcast, I had to since there was no other stuff around. It was a bit painfull .....at that time I didn't realize he was so young and now it makes sense.

Alexander never invaded India , there is no proof from Indian side, and Alexander got defeated and went back at the borders... When india invades srilanka you are the word " Cholas claimed invasion of Lanka" but when greeks say they invaded india, its facts?

[@nandakumarnair6505]

History is facts happened in the past But Romila and so many historians are twisting facts in favor of political affliction is not acceptable. So a request to Manu please don't bring politics ou in history

[@dhavaldesai6202]

They both do actual if you have read their books particularly Anirudh his book is all based on western translation
