Row over Hindutva historian

Is the BJP government trying to saffronise education and India's history? That's the debate on Left, Right And Centre as prominent historians like Romilla Thapar, strongly criticise the government's move to appoint an RSS leaning historian as head of the Indian Council of Historical Research. Are the fears legitimate or are Left leaning historians being hypocritical? Joining us, Ram Guha, Irfan Habib, Yogendra Yadav and others.

6:40 if history cannot be objective and will always include the bias of the historian, it is then very important for right wing historians to be appointed to balance out the left+congress bias of the past 70 years

[@trigcat3107]

Well, now that we've social media, right wingers are digging deep into grey areas. Congress fed communist historian which worked for Political correctness and not on the ground of objectivity and truth.

[@viharamonastry]

Romila Thappar's integrity? A woman who refused to accept Somnath Temple was destroyed by Mohammed Gizni, in-spite of Al-Baruni's details, her integrity can only be compared to that of Goebbels who felt that Russian actions in East Prussia was barbarism, but totally ignored mass murders committed by Germans in Russia.

What is Hindutva? India as a Nation was not born on August 15 1947, India is a continuing civilization with a Milleniea old Continuity more than a few thousand years lived civilizational experience. The primary philosophical thought of India was all inclusive, all accepting, it was never exclusivist and most importantly it never negated the existence of any other philosophical, Spiritual or Religious thought. However when the philosophies of this land came in contact with Semitic Religions, which inherently are exclusivist, Which inherently exclusivist are conflicting, predatory and proselytising there needed to be a response by a non exclusive, inclusive faith which can be called Common wealth of Hindu Spiritual traditions, to therefore respond to the agression, predation and proselytising attempts made by Abrahamic faiths which came to Indian soil, A response was made by Hindus at that time, and that in later context was called Hindutva. *If Hinduism is the potential inclusivity of the common wealth of indigenous thought, Then Hindutva can be a kinetic effect, which primarily is to defend the Hindu philosophy, culture against Abrahmic-Semitic faiths which is not primarily inclusive, predatory and proselytising* Hindutva by nature cannot be aggressive.Because the very response of Hindutva emanated to be defensive. Hindutva is a intellectual, political, socio response of the Hindus to prevent itself and themselves against aggression. Therefore Hindutva cannot be dominating, because Hinduism is a victim of Aggression. Hindutva by its very nature cannot be agressive, because the very response to Hindutva emanated to be defensive. Unless we examine and scrutinize the Abrahmic semitic faiths which by their very nature are proselytising & predatory & which by their very nature go the extent of negating other faiths as false faiths, then we must ask questions, should Hindus, should not come up with Intellectual, Political - Socio response to preserve and perpetuate the long lasting way of life. We can't accept the false equivalences drawn between two entities. 1. "La ilah illa Allah" "There is no God but Allah " 2. "Jai Shree Raam" "Victory to Raam" "La ilah illa Allah" is a negation of the existence of my God, However we won't negate other belief systems. Sir Sayyed Ahmed Khan in 1926, Hindus and Muslims are different Nations. "It is a Shame to both the Hindus & Muslamaans that the Hindus should have to run away from their homes as they have done, it is the shame for the Muslims because it is out of the fear of the Muslims that the Hindus have to run away from their homes, why Should a Human being inspire fear on other Human, My own experience but confirms the opinion that the Musalmaan as a rule is a bully and the Hindu as a rule is a coward" Mahatma Gandhi after Noakhali Massacre. Writing Thoughts on Pakistan - Dr. B.R.Ambedkar. The Hindus and the Hindutva leaders whose primary ideology is defensive reaction towards aggression have been put in witness box as perpetrators of aggression. That has to change for always and for good times to come, we must be asking questions to those followers and leaders of Abrahamic faiths and we must put them to the same kind of scrutiny as put to the Hindu leaders. Does not your Religion at the very fundamental belief believe in dividing the World between believers and non believers? Is that not exclusivist? Unless we have intellectual strength to ask these fundamental questions we will be continuing to draw false equivalences and we will be treating the symptoms and not the disease itself. PS : As long as proselytising Religions continue their existence as as Proselytising Religions Hindutva should be there to protect itself and not just protect itself but also protect the values that the Hindu society has perpetually held as sacred & sacrosanct & those values are in consonance to the modern secular values that Indian constitution so dearly upholds.....

I think the panel should be balanced. Since you have a historian from one side, you should have invited a historian/ or any history researcher who has contrary views. Politicians will not be able to counter academic historians in all aspects. It should first be discussed what is correct historically and accurate, rather than engaging in trivial debate of Hindutva vs Secularism, safronization etc. For this we need historians from all viewpoints sitting and debating with a neutral moderator.

[@curiousmind2726]

Agreed that the history of science and technology taught is entirely Eurocentric. India's mathematicians, scientists and astronomers need to be brought out of the historical closet. However, it must also be mentioned as part of India's history that our mathematicians, scientists and astronomers were condemned by Hindu Religion. Even while they explained Solar and Lunar eclipses scientifically, Brahmagupta and Varahamihira were forced to accept "Rahu-Ketu" nonsense. This was similar to the way the Church condemned Galileo, Copernicus and Giordano Bruno.

Perfect Mr Guha. Let the independence come in most of Indian Institutions be that ICHR ( Indian Council of Historical Research) or anything else like election commision, CAG, CBI etc. Let the tradition of independence become so strong, that the govt of the day may not demolish that independence. Why should one play politics with the brains of little children like they do in Pakistan. India should not become some kind of 'anti' ideology( like left or right like Hindutva) or some kind of 'anti' country( e.g. Pakistan). After all, we want to see flourishing of Independent mind and not a skewed narrow minded Indian in our next generation .

Mr. Trivedi's response around 22nd minute clearly expresses the agenda "rewriting of history to promote nationalism". After this any discussion is futile.I am a secular person. However, unfortunately secularism in India in 2018 is not an accepted form of governance. Some secular historians are in tough spot. Ideally they should be able to tell a muslim ruler was barbaric and we would still support "secular India" . But they fear is that allegiance to secularism is not guaranteed. So they are also guilty at times to overlook muslim atrocities for greater good sort of "end justifies the means" . Sad state of affairs.

[@surajs5913]

Secular history has been denial of archaeological evidence in favor of secular narratives. If thats the history you want, i suggest you petition changing the national motto from "satyameva jayate" to "secularism jayate" .
