She is misleading disdainful lady. Awful stooge of an Awful Prime Minister. She is more toxic than snake venom
Why sufis,ahmediyas get killed in pakistan if they believe they are moslims
😂Lol Marxist Historian, They know What Islam stands for sill chose to Lie for the benifit of their cause 🤧
Can anything be taken seriously coming out of this person , who's know to be a history narrative manufacturer rather than a serious historian. When one looses all credibility, how can then that person be taken seriously on anything. It's like a couple of mythological books propose flat earth theories, then such literature surely cannot be the word of God.
Venomous snake...
She is a jock 😂 not a professor 🤬 In Ram janm bhomi case serious questions had been raised by court on his abilities and knowledge of indian history.😂😂😂😂
Wheeler's Aryan invasion theory based on archaeology and literary evidence.
Hats off, my lady. Wisdom for all❤❤❤❤
Is she saying the Gorahknath Math is not Hindu? What is she smoking? Her point regarding Nath Pantis being outside Hinduism is just plain ingenious. They are heterodox for sure, but very much Hindu.
Is this a recent video ? Bc Romila is now in her 90s yet here she is speaking with so much energy and knowledge.
Both teachers you are also archeologists who are excavating such clips for us😂❤❤. thankyou for enlightning us.
He has created a novel out of it😂
Sharia law has little to do with nascent Islam but mostly an outcome of abbbasid rule in Baghdad. Sharia law only entered India during the time of Aurangzeb . Indian Islam was syncretic and inclusive for a very long time. In the other hand even earlier Ummayad Islam was a form of chrislam.
Not Really, Delhi Sultanate were Farr Worse then Aurangjeb
Prof Thapar needs some serious relearning about Sufis of Central Asia from original Persian and Arabic sources. Baba Farid was born in Multan and became a follower of Khwaja Bhaktiyar Kaki, a Sunni Sufi who was traveling to be in Delhi.
Another pseudo expert. This lady has no substance to debate with scholars like Malhotra
All the sufis are sunnis. All the sufis preached only and only Islam. They conquered hearts of the people . And only Allah swt can open the hearts of people towards Islam .
Punjabis are a self-respecting people. And no self-respecting person will knowingly remain a part of any Indic religion. Adhering to Indic faiths means to forfeit your conscience at the feet of the Brahmin. Ultimately all self-respecting qaums will convert to Abrahamic faiths or go towards atheism. Islam had a violent history so Punjabis who wanted to detach from Brahmin slavery aka Hinduism never wanted to adapt to Islam. That's why Sufism and Sikhism flourished in Punjab. Both are not fully Islam or Hinduism. Christianity on the other doesn't has a violent past on Punjab. Except General Dyers massacre. Hence Christianity will flourish in Punjab. I see Indian side of Punjab becoming totally Christian in the next 100 years. I am also certain the muslim Punjab will be overwhelmingly atheist in the next 100 years.
The Grande Dame of Bharat's History.
Don’t romantacise Sufis. They were the most dangerous Talibs ! Jihadis with an hidden agenda. Their murders were most vicious !!! Thapar trying to sweep it under the carpet
She is completely anti Hindu, and has spent her entire life in destroying Hindus.
I wish even Romila Thapars family had converted to Islam. At least India would not have faced defeat in 1962 under her brother Gen. PN Thapar who was leading the Indian army directionless.
5:05 'Nath Panthis can not be included in the bracket of Hinduism. They are different, they are teaching a very different kind if Hinduism'. Fine, why dont we ask Nath Panthis what they consider themselves as rather than let it worry you so much? What did muslims consider Nath Panthis as? Religions always have a level of diversity amongst themselves. Ahmediyas are not considered Muslims by Sunnies or Shias, but when it came to laying the foundations of Pakistan, a nation built upon religious grounds, they played a prominent role and settled there Whether sunnies see them as muslim or not today is one matter, but quite importantly, they saw themselves as Muslims. The same goes for Nath Yogis. If teaching a very different Hinduism then in what way? And Hindus admit that they have a very large spectrum of practices and traditions. So a statenent like that is obviously going to be viewed with immense suspicion. Romila has unfortunately gained such a reputation amongst Indians as a Marxist historian and is therefore viewed with suspicion amongst a large section of indians. She does not help herself here.
She is a certified PROPAGANDIST. Don’t waste a second on her subtle propaganda.
Because punjabis had no culture and were looked down upon by the rest of Hindus. Their crude harsh language was off putting thus dehected by mainstream hindus, ounjabis easily converted to sikh and sufus. Remeber punjabi brahmans were not consudered proper brahmans by other state brahmans . Also remember that khatris-the gighest castes in punjab, were declared vaushya and shudra by british census in 1901 to which khatris oritested in Barelis conference in 1921.
Mam Thapar is a famous historian but With all due respect I will disagree what she told about Sufi 'Islam'.
Sufis were representatives of Sunni Islam (refrences are available) and there isnt any division like sufi Islam and 'other Islam'.
This is all history, but why now punjabi are converting to Christianity why? There is no christian sufis.
First of all Hinduism is not at all a religion. Sufism cannot be a religion based on Quran and Hadith. Your intention is misleading constitutional Hindus.
Are Nivruttinath and ध्ञानेश्वर the brothers belong to different religions?
Narrative lady with great english who fooled the independent India, no more please.
Might is right.all else is secondary.
😂😂 Madam , your lecture is most misleading . The Islamic coming to India was a genocidal war on the Hindus. Sufis love is for Allah ans not for Ram. Ram and Allah are not same.
😂😂 What is Madam talking ??? Chistis were hardcore Islam establishment in Hindu India. Islam was anti -Hinus anyway .
I did MPhil in History from Central University, Hyderabad. After lot of research foundation that this lady along with RS Sharma,DN Jha, Irfan Habib, and several other leftist s have systematically distorted our ancient History. They have shown our Sanatanis in poor light . According to them Hindus are not creative, self centred, caste ridden. Romila thapar believes that art, architecture, literature flourish ed with Mughal s and British. Her father openly worked for Dyer who massacred indians in Jallianwala bagh. She professed communist and leftist ideas. Used buddhism as a tool to denigrate Sanatan Dharma. History should be re written. Our heroes are shown in poor light. She is a khangress sponsored historian. With zero knowledge in Sanskrit created fake narrative s
THE WOMAN DOESN'T KNOW SUFI ARE ALWAYS SUNNI...😅
Islam was spread through sword and forceful proselyting. Taimur who invaded Delhi massacred,plundered and killed lakhs of Hindus before leaving to persia. Records show that for three months, Delhi city was burning.
Romila Thapar has done a biggest damage to Indian history,in particular hinduism. Hardcore left oriented, she distorted history favouring the British and invaders
1:36:00 1857 revolt 1:44:30 start/intro. 1:48:05 Causes
Nice presentation nothing but the truth but one thing i would mention she said Quranic Islam actually it was the religious clerics Islam .......everything she said were taught by my father many years ago
Sirs, this is such a commendable initiative by you. I highly appreciate your efforts and the contribution you are making. The topics explained are so coherent and they flow so well that things seemingly difficult have become easy to understand. Please ignore the comments about the PDFs. We genuinely appreciate your efforts.
This lady is a grandiose, prolific liar. She is distorting history. Do not be fooled....Islam came into India principally through war, conquest, terrorism, pillaging, raping of women, taking of slaves, etc. The Islamic rulers were brutal; they would forcibly convert, destroy Hindu temples, and impose a tax (the jizya) on non-Muslims...This lady said absolutely nothing about the jizya tax...The Sufis were supported by the Muslim rulers....And her last point at the end is absolutely ridiculous. Just because you trade with other regions, doesn't mean that the people of those regions are not "foreigners"; how imbecilic. Indeed, the Turks were foreigners. Their culture was totally foreign. They were not Hindustani. They themselves never claimed they were. They themselves would call themselves invaders..So what is she talking about???
This lady has been exposed, but still here. Heights of shamelessness.
Naqshbandiyyah, Chistiyyah etc. in fact all Sufi Tariqas come under the fold of Sunni Islam.
She is making stuff up. Link between Sufism and Buddhism ??!! WTF. No proof offered. She is not a historian but an ideologue.
Traders Arab traders came in Kerala even before Islam and after Islam and settled in Kerala married yet they remained small population and were given land to built mosques by Hindu kings they married local fisherwoman that was peaceful until Gandhi khilfat movement came and moopilah attack happened .what happened in northwest was mainly invasion that why we see the friction in northwest she is whitewashing
Is she mad there were thriving agriculture and trade even before Muslim invaders came
The word buddparasthy came for idolatry among Muslims is when Muslim invaders came they first encountered Buddhist statues which they destroyed and has been destroying till recently bamiyan Buddhist statues by talibani she lacks knowledge
Sufi is part of Sunni Islam
She lacks in-depth knowledge of Hindu philosophy, she is not a good ancient Indian historian she doesn’t know Sanskrit she just writes what she wants
Central Asia what was there earlier shamanism , Buddhism
