I read a very negative review of this book on The Wire. immediately knew that this is a must-read.

[@aryankumarprasad1574]

We are a simple people if The 'Liar' hates a book, we read it.

[@buddhadevcool]

Yeah. The wire review look rather opportunistic and desperate. Among the left leaning portals Scroll gave a slightly more objective review.

[@ninadk30]

This is a fantastic book. Going to read again. This basically puts the Ranade Vs Tilak debate in perspective.

[@annemathews2166]

My mum dad conservative Hindu very good for u

[@tapaskumarpanda4069]

Great discussion. 👍👍

[@arthurferrari4766]

are you conservative?

[@abenyayapathi1083]

Wasn't the Maratas the biggest kingdom when the British showed up?

[@thisisanewusername4662]

Not just that, but the Marathas controlled more land.

[@biju2nord]

Maratha Confedracy, Peshwas, gaikwads in Baroda, shinde and holkar in MP. Not a single unit. Unanswerable to Pune Peshwas. Then there was Tipu Sultan, Travancore, Tanjavur Maratha Kingdom, Nayakars of Madurai, of course also the mighty Sikh Empire. British EIC fought and defeated everyone of them

[@ninadk30]

True that the Marathas controlled a lot of land. But the feudal structure was intact which was still under islamic instruments. This is a criticism I have of the Marathas. They never really took power. They never sat on the throne in Delhi. If they would have done that, we might have had a less anxious Muslim population. For the sake of practicality and logistical reasons the capital was still essentially in Pune. Bajirao had enough chances himself to dethrone the mughals. This is just my perspective and a counterfactual

[@patmclaughlin107]

Outstanding!

[@alokpro]

Seeing Shekhar Gupta, Raghu ram Rajan comments I have my reservation of this book being right wing at all

[@1097-t4m]

Did they give positive reviews? If yes then I'm too skeptical.

[@alokpro]

@@1097-t4m I don't know what author wants to show? That this book is so fabulous that even leftist are praising it?

[@varundas6183]

The wire gave it quite a negative review. If all you want to read is stuff that strengthens your echo chamber, then perhaps this isn't the best book.

[@1097-t4m]

@@varundas6183 Mate echo chamber is not something I want. The reason I asked the question was coz I'll might as well directly read ppl of the other side of the spectrum than reading a crypto's work. Basically I can read Ram Guha(and I've read him extensively) instead of a double agent.

[@smoky3302]

U have to understand the non left or right wing in India is not monotonous or homogenous we are quite different I am a social liberal and economical conservative my father is traditional and socialist my brother is a believer my sister is an atheist and we all are nationalist . We the non left are generally free thinkers so we should have larger perspective.

[@arnabm273]

Great ending comment on challenging oneself .... Keep up the good work.. P.S. do you really need the KZbin subscription money? I'm curious a person of your calibre and range of projects (for which you should definitely lay out a plan and ask for money) I can understand dhruv rathi find use of subscription money (no disrespect, but poor kid's probably smitten by the gig economy bug). A project helps, Akash Banerjee got a shit load for his proposed relief work and God bless him and empower him to carry out good use of all the money. I'm sure you can do a great deal of good.. lay down a project man, we are on your side, but you as conservatives. So we like a bit of protocol, documentation and planning. Images of tear soaked migrant families and a wishful thinking of trying to 'help' them isn't enough to make a run on conservatives purses. Think about it buddy!

[@srinjansaha2480]

Great book.

Try to bring Amish too

[@MrVishalsinha23]

Reminds me of Slavish Anglophile like Nirad Chaudhary.Many aspects have very loose thinking.British won India not from the Mughals but from the Rajputs,Marathas and the Sikhs. I would prefer Shashi Tharoor anyday compared to this. And secondly , I am sorry but what has Indians produced in the English language. Nothing . If someone calls the softporn written by Khushwant Singh as literature then he has no idea about literature. Both the English language and the English culture need to be thrown out for a renaissance to occur in India. Reasons for that are well provided by VS Naipaul himself in A wounded civilization.

Nobody in the desi ecosystem cares about an english book

[@chinmaypurohit3431]

Speak for yourself!

[@PrashantNambiar]

@Sudh entertainment It's good book worth reading!

[@rbk9915]

And you put this comment in English.

[@NatrajChaturvedi]

LOL who gave you this idea? Its not just leftists who copy from the west. Rightists do it as well and its good that we do.

[@poonamabbi7448]

@@jagratshukla2356 Ever wondered what was the INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL MATERIAL BEFORE YOUR "INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUALS" came to Bharat several centuries ago? & Why is NO ONE curious about investigating the MIRACLE OF THE 1 century of SUDDEN flash of science in the INTERNATIONAL INVADERS' lands once they raided India?
