    every time I listen to pakistani experts talk about India , it's history and story, it's always a big disappointment. This is a continuous thing which has never changed. These guys really need to read a lot more books on India across spectra of ideologies

      I have come to realize the same thing.
      But let me ask you a question: Do you think the blame also lies on this side of the border?-- In that, India-- the government and the society writ large-- have pushed a very Leftist history which erases much of Hindu loss that has gone on for the past 1000 years but also erases much of Hindu Golden Age, and Hindu pride? Paxtanis will be recommended the reading from the preponderance of what Indians have for reading, no? And aside from a fledgling Hindu scene, there isn't that much that is not Islamist apologia and Leftist. And we can blame everyone for it but at the end of the day, we should take responsibility for our own story and how it gets told.

And an expert is meant to have it from all perspectives. Pakistanis on the other hand mostly produce half baked experts especially specifically pertaining to India. I was just calling that out , so that 'maybe' next time we could have some actual Indian experts on.

    I am a regular viewer of this podcast and one thing I don't understand about Pakistan's experts and Historians is the reason they are in a lookout for denial of existence of India or Hindustan or Bharat as a nation or a consolidated region known as a whole throughout almost the known documented History. A) Do they actually believe it since they are not really well read and well versed in History. B) Do they feel like acknowledging the fact would somehow lessen their own country's importance..? C) They know about it well enough but want to keep the fake narrative going of how "two nations were formed after independence" theory ? Anybody with basic knowledge of History and some legitimate googling skills would point out 1000s of sources siting India/Bharat of being recognised as a single entity unique to itself. It goes way before Chandragupta Maurya or other kings, not even getting into the mythological aspects, just read the documented history "Experts" 😅

      Clearly you didn't hear the podcast, he agrees that India as a Civilization always existed, but not the idea of a nation state. None of the Hindu dynasties ever used the term "Bharat" in their official title. In fact the first time it was used, was by the Mughals who called their empire Mughal-Sultanat-e-Hind. After that it was the British Raj in India.
      The term Bharat, in most ancient sources, refers only to North India. Even in the Mahabharat, the term does not include the Deccan or South India, it does not include lands east of the Bengal region either which are a part of India now.

    This idea of India never having existed (until the British came) is a classic colonial trope. While it may be true that India did not achieve political or administrative unity (nation state) until much later; but the idea of India (bharat as a nation connected through pilgrimage routes) has existed since much before the common era. One would do well to read India: a sacred geography by diana eck (white American harvard indologist- as we so love validation by a gora foreigner) to understand the history of India that is bharat. These facile and banal statements ( that hind or Indian identity did not exist before mughals or British) reflect rather poorly on an otherwise learned man.

    A note from an Indian fan: I have always liked this podcast. Still do. However,I don't agree with the guests' superficial understanding of India but it is more of a philosophical disagreement about interpreting history. He is more inline with the Marxist historians like Romila Thapar and has a very narrow understanding of Indian civilization. I wish Pakistani academia would actually read the academic works done in ancient India to get first hand knowledge of what is written in them and what is discussed in them.
    Please stop labelling everything written in Sanskrit in ancient India in terms of Hindu religion. Just because it was written in Sanskrit it didn't make it a religious book. Reading upanishads, dharmshastras ,puranas, sutras chanakya, historical accounts of saints like adi shankaracharya etc. is needed.
    Read the works your own civilization produced in mathematics, art, architecture, astronomy ,epistemology, ontology, and other aspects of philosophy.
    And if you need a clear definition about a collective entity of Bharatvarsh (India) it can be clearly found in Vishnu Purana 2.3.1
    Finally, Hindi is not an official language in India. We have 22 recognised languages in our constitution. The guest didn't knew this, this shows his knowledge about India is second hand and rudimentary.

    Pakistan really needs an India expert who is able to look at India as objectively as possible.
    So many errors here:
    1. India has no national language. The Union Government did try to impose Hindi but backtracked after backlash from Southern States (TN & AP), so at the central government level, there are two official languages but NO national language.
    2. Hindu scriptures definitely talk about a sacred geography that spans the subcontinent. Politically, India wasn't one nation state before 1947 except at the time of Ashoka & Aurangzeb but culturally there was always a notion of one people, one culture, one consciousness. Hence, the current idea of cultural nationalism is finding purchase. Hinduism binds the country together not necessarily as a religion but as a culture. There's definitely cultural continuity in India, even with different Gods (budhs lol), festivals, languages etc. Hinduism and it's culture cuts across all this fabric.

    Well very poor knowledge of guest about linguistical history of India and impositions. Morover guest doesn't have idea of concept behind subnationalism and civilizational state. 🤷🤷 I am sorry Shehzad this was quite misleading info from guest from perspective of Indian subcontinent. There is common cultural overlap in whole India despite linguistically diverse demographics. It's there for thousands of years. it's not that after Mughal only majority religious community of India united. 😅😅 Your guest have poor understanding of civilizational state. Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism has cultural linkages regardless of languages, geography all across the India. From southern part of India people used to travel to Kashmir and Himalayas for thousands of years for spiritual reasons. Adi Shankracharya is best example who travelled a lot in subcontinent and established his knowledge institutions in 4 different parts of India 1200 years back. Its not that only after introduction of Mughals India got identity as civilizational state. Greek, Arabs thousands of years back were not fool enough to identity that geographical identity without any issue.

This whole premise was absurd and illogical but what else could be expected from the Punjab dominated military establishment that has given the people of the other three provinces nothing but pain and gloom. Despite their unremitting propaganda regional identities are still strong in Sindh and western provinces. The Punjabis are the only people who embraced this state narrative mainly because they view the entire state as an extension of Punjab.
