Just be saying hinduism is also regressive and bad, can never put the abrahamic into justification. The nature of Hinduism is Dharmic and hence reformable even if any social evils crept in, whereas the Abrahamics are adharmic and unreformable, its adharmic values are set on stones, unchallengable.

Very interesting discussion. Always a pleasure to hear Dr. Ranganathan, Meenakshiji and JSDeepak.

If we build our own body of research then at least the narrative will be honest and fair. After all history is about people and not an elite group - political or academic.

[@atharvajoshi938]

To be honest, this point is a bit irrelevant - Aurangzeb is hated because of his reasons of conquest, he vowed (via letters) “to end the infidels within their own homes” (have paraphrased a bit but the theme is extremely similar). Islam is judged on lack of acceptance or even tolerance - there’s a reason Muslim-majority areas have infinetimissally small minorities. Hence Aurangzeb being judged on killing his family is quite literally irrelevant when you consider he considered it his divine calling to exterminate every last Hindu.

Amazing Discussion, only gripe, why it ended so early. Even after one hour, feels like this only started. Such an interesting eye opening topic, we feel like daft on our beliefs through what we've learned from our textbooks and what it actually is. Wish existing and next generation don't have to learn false and grossly misrepresented history anymore, more power to these individuals on their herculean task of decolonization our history.

10:39 So he starts off by saying that decolonisation should be done by "people trained in methodologies of history and other social science disciplines", and then goes on to assert multiple times that it shouldn't be the state doing it but rather the common people themselves. Both(the social science academia and the state) are much bigger entities who will be positing(or imposing) their view/version/method onto the people. Therefore, it basically boils down to "no you guys are not allowed to do it, we have the authority, we will be the ones doing it". And then also considering it was a strawman to suggest that anyone was suggesting the state to do it in the first place, he is literally opposing the common individuals and their ability and authority for decolonisation, and grabbing the authority for his small closed elitist aristocratic cabal of social scientists and historians. Its the deliberate conflation of any and all non-marxist and outside(to this cabal) entities and voices with the state and with the worst forms of nationalism(which was also clearly evident with his fallacious and simplistic reductions to "nationalism" multiple times).

[@kelthuzzadofnaxxramas2725]

It's hard to respect scholars like Dr. Ali Khan who are intentionally vague, talk of irrelevant, anomalous events and of shallow philosophical arguments instead to staying true to the historical method of accepting facts and being objective. I've noticed this weird trend among 'trained historians' to forget all their objectivity when discussing anout Is lam, as if they're obliged to defend this regress ive religion to death against the face of all facts. I have noticed this trend not only in Indian academic historians but also in western academic historians who write on classical history in Quora.

Caste is a Colonial construct. Caste system was a predominant system of European system that they shamelessly attributed to Asian societies. Caste system (which did not allow social mobility) was created by Lord Risley (a British Christian Missionary) in the 19th century. He morphed ancient and flexible jathis (occupational groups which allowed social mobility) and 4 varnas (colors of character of a person shaped by past karma or cause and effect not birth family) and classified people based on race science (nose size and head shape). The same race science was later used in Africa by colonialists which led to Rwandan genocide. Other countries also have surnames based on occupations eg Smith, Potter, Cooper, Mason, Tailor or Taylor, Spinner, Weaver (Webb was another word for a weaver, a webster was usually a female weaver), Dyer, Thatcher, Tyler, Slater, Miller, Baker, Cheeseman, Spicer, Cook, Fisher, Shepherd, Carter, Clarke, Skinner Gardener etc

True, hence we did not marry outside our caste since 1500 years, as DNA data shows.

@@MS-ov9sv Yes, there are in fact till Gautama Dharma Shastra, the predecessor of Manav Dharma Shastra (alias Manusmriti), there are mentions of social mobility, but can you negate the DNA data of caste endogamy? Also, how does mention of ICM in 500 year old Mahabharat negate my point?

[@MrLee-gj2jz]

@@sohamkumar4757 There is actually not enough "full genomic sequencing" to unravel the genetic landscape of India. 23andme does not do "full genomic sequencing", rather they do a process called "genotyping" which is a shortcut method that considers less than 1% of the human genome. The 23andme site explains very clearly that what they are doing is not "sequencing" but "genotyping". Hence, inferring that Indians did not intermarry outside caste from incomplete "genotyping" processes is too premature a conclusion that just follows the predominant colonial construct. The cost of full genomic sequencing for a single individual used to be a billion dollars 20 years ago. This has dropped to less than 1000 dollars and is set to go below 100 dollars. The Govt. of India should collect data full-genomic-sampling of atleast 100 million individuals to set aside this caste myth aside once and for all.

His paternal grandmother kaneez abid NEVER allowed Vijaya to TOUCH the sacred ALAM of their imambargah, which you see in every Muharram in every Shiite areas in processions & majalis.

This debate opens a new avenue in Indian historical research on how far should decolonization should go. There is now growing evidence from Andalusia, and Eastern Europe, that both the Ottomans and the Cordoban Emirate were seen as outsiders among the local population, and this rule was an early form of colonization prior to the 1500 date posited by Walter Mignolo as the start of coloniality.
