They deserve praise for the way they handled the pandemic, especially with the vaccine making and distribution. They deserve praise for the way they handled the war in Ukraine. But I'll reserve my praise and go all out in criticizing BJP's way of handling the Hindu-Muslim issue. Instead of uplifting and bringing Hindus together, they're targeting Muslims who make up 200 million of us. They still haven't found a solution to reservation and conversion. Even Nepal has an anti-conversion law from 2018. They've yet to develop a robust inner-city road and public infrastructure. Please share your thoughts on these.

[@kunalsarkar1984]

To begin with, she has written" Early India " without the Knowledge of Sanskrit.She learnt Indian History in English in England and then she wrote our history text books.( Funny as it may sounds but Its like a British in England reading history on England in Hindi written by someone who learned English History in India that too in Indian language ) . Her take on Ashoka were really should be read as bedtime story, cause Nehru and congress needed Ashoka as a hero and a national symbol ( Ashoka Stambh ect ). But the fear of a possibility that Ashoka can be a "Hindu hero " or Hindu nationalist's pride , Congress and Romila thapar had to make Ashoka a savage "Hindu King" who realised after the Kalinga war how he killed so many innocent people and then converts to Buddhism. Ashoka in fact was Buddhist the time Kalinga war happened and No Buddhist text links his conversion to the war and even Ashoka's eulogists like Charles Allen agree that his conversion predated the Kalinga war. The political agenda to fight "Hindu Nationalism " which congress has been fear mongering for last 75 year has crept in a lot of biases towards Indian historical figures. Ask her why we she doesn't have the same passion for Shivali Maharajji , Maharana Pratap, Vijaynagara Kindom , Chola Kingdom ect Well because they were all hindus fightig from the invaders. Whats her take on Islamic conversion ? , Jizia tax ect well that needed to be secularised and thats why the rough edges were softened out. If congress really wanted a role model then Dara Shikoh should have been the hero for all Indian Muslims and not Aurangzeb. In our history books there is no reference to Ramayana or Mahabharata, not from a religious point of view but historical point of view ? Arent West invested in researching the Bible from a cultural and historical point of view. The demonization of Hindu culture sadly is reflected upon todays Indian society and politics and the divide is clear. In indonesia ( Bali ) the muslims do visit the temples as a part of understanding the culture. I saw kids from Jkarta visiting Bali temples why ? Hindu hatred in the Subcontinent is credited by the Politics of the sub continent.

And the way they defended the Islamic Invaders and Glorified them, whereas completely eliminating and sidelining the Indegenous struggles and resistance against them. The foundational Islamic Doctrine of Breaking the Idols, was eclipsed by their Marxist Economic interpretations where there were many major examples of proving it to be completely opposite, one being the very records of the Courtiers of these very Invaders.

At the end when Prof. Thapar concluded that during their interaction over a thousand years,there must have been restless periods , I hoped she would elaborate on the subject.

It is always delight listening Dr romila thapar.

[@shrisanidhya]

Hi Romila Thapar. How do you feel today now when all of your life's work has been debunked as politically charged lies?

[@marshadesouza7977]

Majority of the comments made on this video lectures are by people who haven't seen the full video!!!! She has not diminished any religion , simple stated that people in a time before today existed not on the basis of religion but for the purpose of mainly economic gain, people didn't kill each other over religion everybody took sides not based on religion but on status, economic, territorial or influential gain , the status of the poor and lower castes or no castes simple remained the same. Her lectures could apply to hindu nationalist in India or muslim nationalist in Pakistan, but duffers hear only hindu Hindi and loose their minds and make comment's.

[@nnbg8000]

What's a Hindu nationalist? Also if you say what you're saying, i.e. what she is saying, then how do you explain the Crusades? Don't just call people duffers. Do you see the irony in your comment?

[@rushi450]

Can this so called historian prove their history is not subjective but objective and free of bais????

[@katpadi75]

Professional historians-lol

[@padmanabhann4735]

In the name of social order you can not twist history away from truth.

[@pradeepm.s.6944]

Romila Thapar and Irfan Habib long live because They have to see from their own eyes the rebuilding of all demolished temples And India once again become Hindu rashtra

[@GSteel-rh9iu]

Dr. Thapar is a national treasure.

[@katpadi75]

Fake news fake historians?

[@kash60ishvlog67]

The lecture was very good and it could be summarized into this title "How to understand and approach History! " History isn't exclusive but is inclusive. She cited good examples that History is never exclusive like Hindu History Or Muslim History & such history will serve no one except will make the society toxic and hateful. Didn't knew that Haldighati was had Muslims fighting for Maharana Prataap against Mughals.

Afghans and Rajputs took part in literally every single battle which took place in Indian Subcontinent During Medieval and Modern Period. In South India Both Bahmani and Vijaynagar had Rajput and Afghan mercenaries of Modern UP and Bihar.

[@aakarshjha1633]

Making historical claims based on narratives not archaeology,only she can do this Remove this historian thing,encourage archaeological studies without any narrative

[@soumamduttaicmr-nin7824]

Prof Romila Thapar's approach towards studying History (especially Epics) is really appreciable......the way she has transformed History (from Indology to Social Science) is commendable.....most importantly she has taught us how to differentiate between Mythology and History, and use Mythology to understand past societies......her work shows how Mahabharata and Ramayana were composed from oral traditions and later on converted into Bhagvata texts (Bhriguisation) by Orthodox Brahmins to combat heterodox philosophies (like Buddhism, Jainism)....the epics, mainly Bhagvad Gita, were also used to justify caste system as social ethic and reinforce Kingship.....

[@siyanibillinumberone4054]

Her father it seems has disregarded intelligence reports that Kashmir was to be attacked after independence

[@sourabhbhattacharya3411]

Two most important achievements of historian Romila Thapar are 1. Unleash Indian history from the colonial frame and expose the lies of the colonisers 2. Showing the multiplural identities of Indian civilisation. Majority people who have commented here are mostly not even aware of her works.

[@hindurashtra63]

We are not that stupid, We understand that all Religions might be wrong, But why should Hindu History alone be isolated and questioned ? Will this Lady write History about Jesus or Muhammad having no Proof ? Never. Because you see History is written by the Winners and Rulers, Not from the Perspective of Oppressed. We Hindus were oppressed in our Homeand by Foreign Invaders (Christians and Muslims), Hene we are stick with Historians like Romila Thapar who is braineashed to spread their Biased History and understand of our Great Nation and Culture.

And Romila Thapar adopted the Christian missionary outlook about the non-existence of a ‘unified religion’ in India. Only this can explain her wild postulations about Hindu Dharma in what she prefers to call the ‘pre-Islamic’ period. Why is there no reference to Sanatana Dharma in her writing? Both the term and the system as a whole is so prominent in Indian thinking, treatises, folklore and tradition since time immemorial. Instead, there is repeated reference to some ‘Brahmin dharma’ or ‘Brahminism’ in the writings of the Marxist historians, which according to them was exploitative, cunning and full of class-selfishness.

[@biggdaddyy]

Nationalism of European countries can be equated with regionalism of different states in India and not the nationalism of India. Too much Nationalism in Europe had lead to wars and too much regionalism in India leads to separatism as India is a diverse country so in a diverse country like India nationalism is very much needed to maintain the unity . But why think when you can just copy and quote the western historians.

[@TheEnglishator]

Wow...at this age too she is quite brave! Respect!

[@SatyamKumar-mr8eb]

Konsa bravery..nehru or muslimo or british/church ki juta chatney ke liye bravery nahi chatukarita(gulami) ki avashaykata hoti hai.

[@laxminarayanak.n.5535]

Thern is a say “vrudda nari pathivratha “,at this age now she is agreeing that all the history written is not true but she says that history should be rewritten by trained historians.Let modiji make her Dean and Amartya sen has her deputy.see her narrative on kutub minar.

[@sriyengar]

🤔 🤦‍♂️This woman doesn’t know the meaning of nAsthikA. Shocking. It doesn’t mean that person doesn’t believe in deities. It just means they don’t believe in Vedas! According to Vedas, ALL are Eternal! अमृतस्य पुत्राः unlike other Religions.
