A very good confirmation and reiteration of truths about Bharat's unparalleled grand - but distant - past that we all have had some glimpses of although it was deliberately kept hidden from us by our invading rascals., and their goons. My question is that now that we are finding it out, what we plan to do with this knowledge? Just bask in its glory and pride forever ? Shouldn't we seriously try to recreate it and drive our nation out of poverty, social degradation and proliferating population? What happened to all that greatness?

"Don't get lost in the details!" says Thapar when William talks about his relative/ancestor. Thapar, we are more interested in listening to William's 'ramblings' than your interview. Also loved how William makes a point against Marxist historians of India (just before the outburst above). That must have bothered Karan Thapar, considering how he is related to the grandmother of all Marxist historians, Romila Thapar. Also funny to see some comments here cautioning people about "Hindu hypernationalism". Classic example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Funniest, though, is someone saying that a lot of it is "conjecture". If anything, William is being conservative about India's influence. Crazy to see such reactions.

[@lakshaybhardwaj2862]

What can we expect from him and his regular audience. I have lost respect for almost all journalists (except maybe Saurabh) who have been consumed by their ideology so much (either left or right) that they can't bear to see the other side of things. You're right though, this interview will trigger some people obviously as it shows a positive and powerful Indian influence for a change. I highly doubt Karan would've even invited anyone like William if he wasn't a white person (telling us about our history) because anyone talking about this is immediately branded a far-from-reality-andh-bhakt on this platform if he/she is brown.

So now that we finally have a stamp of approval of a "gora" scholar, let's hope the world will really recognise India's historical importance. Although this in no means is a criticism of Mr. Dalrymple. He is an Indian at heart who has written numerous volumes recounting detailed historical accounts about the cruelty of the East India Company.

[@pranav210591]

The world acknowledges india's contribution way more than what we assume. All the 'knowledge' was already lying forgotten by the time western indologists came. But yes, the world is not going to acknowledge obvious nonsense like ancient spacecrafts and nuclear weapons.😂

Mr Wooster aren't you an Englishman too , atleast as far as your name is concerned ?

[@Bertie.athenaeum]

@@xcel5203 WOW!! No. I'm not. "Bertie" is an inside joke in my family. And I picked the name "Athenaeum" basing it on Aristotle's academy "Lyceum" which was named after the Apollo Lyceus, the site where the Peripatetic school of philosophy was founded by Aristotle in 334 BC. I named it after Athena, the goddess of knowledge, as I'm a student of Physics & Mathematics. I wanted the name of the channel to be something like "Sharda Peeth" but I didn't pick it because I don't think I could be deserving of the name "Sharda Peeth" (which happens to be the first mutt established by Adi Sankara). So, to answer in short, I'm very much an Indian, although I would agree due to my upbringing, English has been somewhat my "lingua dilectus". Also, even if I was an englishman how would that make my point any less valuable, which was that somehow the west always accepts things about India when someone from the west attests it, even when Indian scholars have been screaming the same things at the top of their lungs! I was literally mocking the west's bias!

[@rajenlama.6850]

Jai Hind sir. It is the honour of India as reflectng the history of our Nation through the book " The Golden Road " written by William, he apparently through his book reminds the Indian history in terms of Hinduism, Buddhism and the spread of mathematical value across Asia and Europe. We must thank to such knowledgeable person for making such contribution which widen the eye of not only Indian but all over the world. May God give more strength to explore on many unknown facts in the world.

[@shobhaantony3180]

When William wrote the White Mughals, given his fascination with the Mughals, he was torn to pieces by the Indian right wing and he was not given the due respect. This explains why some publishers thought that translating his book is not worth while. The right wing will change their views once William's Golden Road comes out. This is what the right wing does and its a question you should ask them.

Good interview, Karan Thapar. I wish it had been longer, without interruptions from your side. Your audience is capable of understanding what William Dalrymple is saying. As someone who is not a historian but is fascinated by the subject, could you kindly include historians and archaeologists who are working in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, to share their perspectives on recent findings in Keeladi etc., and the need to rewrite the historically North-centric narrative to be more balanced? There is the fact after all that the new digs at Keeladi have pushed the Sangam period further back revealing many new concepts. You may even want to forward this comment to William Dalrymple with the hope that he will turn his attention to this topic and pay greater attention to what went on in the South and maybe write a scholarly tome.

The book provides a well-articulated historical perspective, yet it overlooks one of India’s most significant modern contributions to the world: the global spread of yoga. In the current and previous centuries, yoga has transcended geographical and cultural boundaries, reaching not only the East but virtually every part of the world. So widespread is its influence that yoga today often feels less distinctly Indian. However, I believe that by the end of this century, yoga’s influence will deepen further as it expands to include broader spiritual practices beyond asanas, pranayama, and meditation. This evolution will likely solidify India’s cultural and spiritual impact on a global scale

​@malianwong please check real history not Macaulay as William said. India is called tianzu by chinese.. infact they divided into 5 indias.. north, south, central, west and east.. if they looked as different they would have mentioned different names right?? 1st understand difference between nation and state.. political large state is extremely difficult to become In ancient times.. please check this link and open ur eyes.. this is not political be apolitical.. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianzhu_(India) In vishnu puran also mentioned.. the land between Himalayas and indian ocean is called india.. we may not politically one state.. it's impossible bcoz therr is no technology to that.. but we are civilizationally one nation not state...
