In this interview with TNIE Kerala, Aswathi Thirunal Rama Varma says that the book, The Ivory Throne, written by Manu S. Pillai, offers just a biased view of the history of the Travancore Royal Family. He says that 'when the hunter writes history, he will glorify himself and not the hunted'. He says that Aswathi Thirunal Gowri Lakshmi Bayi has written a book called 'History Liberated' in response to Manu S. Pillai's book.

Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter

This is very true. When I read his book, I too felt that Manu has chosen a side and decided to tell their side of the story. This is not the way history shd be written. A historian shd not take sides or portray history with an agenda .. this is where Manu’s book fails. Besides he openly claims that all his research was based on the ‘British Archives’ …. So basically Manu has just regurgitated the garbage that the British written in the name of history.

@@supriyasuresh5390 (1) British Archives do not mean British Sources. Most of these are Indian Sources obtained from British Archives. There is a sea of a difference. (2) The Book is about Regent Maharani, how she became a regent, what she was like when she was a regent and what happened to her after she lost it. Obviously sources referring to her will be what needs to be covered. (3) Where has Manu Pillai given his opinion in the book? I read it twice, I couldn’t find any opinionated piece anywhere in the book admonishing or criticising the so called other side. On the other hand, if he has expressed any opinion, it was after the book in a video where he has considered Sethu Parvati Bayi to be a remarkable woman.

I don't think the book is glorifying either side. Yes, it is true that the book is more inclined towards the Sethu Lakshmi Bai side and that is primarily because the other side didn't choose to be part of it. Anybody's autobiography will have that sort of a bias however references to various documentary archives cannot be neglected . There is no point in blaming the author for such scenarios

@hngogo9718 Ай бұрын

As a researcher, manu's study is biased. The fundamental of any research is that it should not be biased; it should have validity, reliability, and creditworthiness. In the case of Manu, his entire research is based on the assumption that whatever is told or recorded by the British and kept in the British archives is always 100% true because they are good people and do not have any partisan vested interests in Travancore. Another assumption of his research is that whatever is told or recorded about Travancore royalty is always false and cooked up stories to propitiate the maharaja and his family. This thinking / assumption in his research is a bias, and on the basis of this, he always blames the royal family and the then maharajas. Even the interviews with him by several channels expose his hatred towards the Travancore royal family. He has some kind of jealousy or rivalry with the royals and the deceased maharajas, although he says that he has no personal issue with them. But his voice tone, body language, everything says that he has a personal grudge over the royal family. if he had correctly used his brilliance, curiosity to research unbiasedly , he would have been a genius.

@PK-fl1lm 2 ай бұрын

Not just this, the writing of entire Indian history smacks of bias. What has passed off as "widely accepted" and "researched" Indian history is the twisted, biased Marxist version of the JNU types. Over the years in a newly independent, young India, they saw opportunity to propagate their ideological agenda through "their" version of history. Because, those who were in power for more than half a century after Independence knew that their continued control and grip on power depended on how they presented history to future generations. History books were a tool to control minds and achieve that goal. Orwell said in the novel '1984': He who controls the past (history) controls the present and future. The "other", truly Indian side of history is yet to be told. Even if it is told, it will be very difficult for it to sink in or even be accepted for people who have grown up used to being fed the cunningly manupilative Marxist history. It was slow poison. And it worked...

In this book Manu pillai clearly mentioned in the acknowledgement or Preface pages that, though he had approached the so called "the otherside" but unfortunately no one was willing or saying they don't want to spoil reputation of the Royal family (from both side) or in the similar lines. So, he left with only one side of the story, which will definitely sound like one sided.

Well, that's your perspective. Not everyone can fully imbibe Manu S. Pillai's so called 'history.' Personally, I believe that history is more about narratives..one writes history based on their own interpretation. I've read excerpts from his books, and it seems to follow a leftist narrative. Perhaps you align with that narrative, which might be why you consider him the 'most scientific historian of our time😊

@farisha13 2 ай бұрын

@@ArjunN360 Actually, leftist / Marxian thought formally employs the principles of Dialectical materialism, which emphasizes the importance of real-world conditions gathered using evidence that is as empirical as possible and the presence of functional contradictions within and among social relations. As such, the basic aims and principles of dialectical materialism would tend to be in harmony with rational scientific thought (even though, ironically, most communist regimes have not implemented or have prevented the implementation of these principles in their own circles, for perverse reasons of political control). So, if as you claim, Manu Pillai is indeed following leftist methodology in his study and writing of history, then it has to be essentially scientific in nature, as opposed to the options of romantic mythicizing and political propagandizing with fact twisting that are often conveniently taken up by historians with right wing interests and funding.

Max Muller's letters To Chevalier Bunsen, 55 St. John Street, Oxford, August 25, 1856, he wrote: "I should like to live for 10 years quite quietly and learn the language, try to make friends, and then see whether I was fit to take part in a work, by means of which the old mischief of Indian priestcraft could be overthrown and the way opened for the entrance of simple Christian teaching.Whatever finds root in India soon overshadows the whole of Asia." To the Dean of St. Paul's (Dr. Milman), Stauton House Bournemouth, February 26, 1867, he wrote: "I have myself the strongest belief in the growth of Christianity in India. There is no country so ripe for Christianity as India, and yet the difficulties seem enormous." (source: The True History and the Religion of India: A Concise Encycloedia of Authentic Hinduism - By Swami Prakashanand Saraswati p. 268 - 270). For more on Max Muller refer to chapter FirstIndologists and Aryan Invasion Theory).*** As Max Mueller, the propagator of the Aryan invasion theory, wrote to his wife, "It took only 200 years for us to Christianise the whole of Africa, but even after 400 years India eludes us, I have come to realize that it is Sanskrit which has enabled India to do so. And to break it I have decided to learn Sanskrit." The soul of India lies in Sanskrit. And Lord Macaulay saw to it that the later generations are successfully cut off from their roots. |(source: Assaulting India's pluralist ethos - by D.

ബ്രിട്ടീഷുകാരുടെ പ്രചോദനവും ലക്ഷ്യവും കോളനികളുടെ സാമ്പത്തിക ചൂഷണമായിരുന്നു. Slavery, indentured labour, man made famines, divide and rule ... സമർത്ഥമായി ആസൂത്രണം ചെയ്ത ഏതു പദ്ധതിയിലൂടെയും അവർ അത് നടത്തി എടുത്തു . സ്വദേശികളായ ഭരണാധികാരികളോട് പുച്ഛവും പകയും അതേ സമയം കൊളോണിയലിസ്റ്റുകളോട് ആരാധനയും ഉള്ള ഒരു വിഭാഗം ഉണ്ട്. അതിനു കാരണം ഇന്ത്യയിലെ കൊളോണിയാലിറ്റി physical കാലഘട്ടത്തിനു ശേഷം Cerebral ആയി മാറി എന്നതാണ്.

ഏതായാലും, ഇന്നത്തെ രാഷ്ട്രീയക്കാരെ വെച്ച് നോക്കുമ്പോ, പണ്ടത്തെ രാജ, റാണി മാർ എത്രെയോ ഭേദം. എന്നെങ്കിലും ഒരു കാലത്തു "പിണറായി വാണിടും കാലം" എന്ന പാട്ടു ആരെങ്കിലും എഴുതുമോ? അയ്യടാ പുളിക്കും

എന്റെ കറുത്ത വീട്ടിലെ രാജാവും രാജ്ഞ്ഞിയും പട്ടിണി കിടന്നു സാറിന്റെ വീട്ടിലെ രാജാവും രാംജിക്കും പള്ളി ലഞ്ചും പള്ളി ഡിന്നറും കൊടുത്തു.... എന്റെ ചോരയായിരുന്നു സാറിന്റെ പപ്പനാഭ വിഗ്രഹങ്ങളിലെ നെയ് അഭിഷേകം
