MEENAKSHI JAIN is my absolute hero/in. Her brand Academia is compelling. I love her lectures. Indeed I review them often. Such is the quality of her Academia. Thank you for your service to the Indian civilization. A super tenuous one, for sure!
@@southernwind2737 why don't you quote the verse word to word which you call divisive. And let me know in which part of Indian history was it fundamentally implemented, if at all you find something.
Dr. Jain needs to be lauded for a clear, unemotional academic presentation of the topic of Islamic Iconoclasm in India. However, even if the Almighty Lord Shiva were to convince our "fiberal" establishment, their response would still be the same....It never happened!! That is what is amazing and frustrating. Chacha Nehru, in creating the ecosystem he did while we were trying to come out of abject poverty, screwed us all, all the time wearing that little red rose on his lapel.
That’s her greatness! Her pedagogical rigour, gives her that cool Confidence with which she can softly defeat her opponents without even raising her voice!! Amazing dr Meenakshi Jain!!
Reminds me of the campaign of Afzal Khan against Shivaji is interesting. Afzal Khan with a large army marched against Shivaji. Shivaji moved to Pratapgad a hill fort surrounded by dense forests. Knowing that it would be difficult to capture or kill Shivaji when he was lodged in Pratapgad, Afzal Khan destroyed temples including those of Shivaji’s family deity, the Bhavani mata at Tulzapur. Shivaji refused to be baited. He sent a “mercy petition”, to the Khan, lured him to the foothills of Pratapgad, they had a meeting, and the Khan had his intestines torn out and his head cut off, his corpse languishes near to where he fell. If only the other Hindus had dealt with the iconoclasts the way Shivaji did as against being fixated with moorties and their temples. (See Dr. Jain’s talk titled “Flight of deities” for context)
Wonderful anecdote brother- Hindus always had this sadguna vikriti demonstrated by Prithviraj Chauhan or Rana Hameer- it took us centuries and men of Maharana and Chhatrapati's wisdom to rip apart the jehadis the way they did us.
Meenakshi Jain is a dedicated and competent archivist... following in the steady, gifted path of K.S. Lal, she turns her intensely focused research into useful and valuable intellectual data, to which modern scholars need to have serious access inform their analyses.
Thanx a lot mam,u r d reason to convert me from secular to proud Hindu,I always was secular to d core,during my engineering days my cook was a Muslim,even faced stones after India won d match against pak, I didn't thought why all these things r happening,but life exp.tought me this that be unapologetic about ur heritage .secularism is one way street, only when Hindu is majority until then there is secularism. We were not allowed to go through old city where Muslims are in majority .
Dr Jain, you have done a great job of putting the facts right. We must be connected to our roots to pass on the heritage to our future generations. Thanks a lot madam.
I simply loved your talk. Logical interesting,clear ,precise and highly relevant to the making of anew India, an Indian Renaissance with price and appreciation of our true history and heritage!👌👌👌💐💐💐💐
This is certainly a great effort and is beyond academics. She has verily taken on the mantle of Dharmika leadership. Swami Vivekananda once spoke of such a role which ought to be played by the Knowledgeable Ones among the Indian people.
The General who bought the Vatapi Ganapati from Chalukyas was a great Shiva Bhakth, he later known as the Siruthondar because of his devotion to Shiva.
Madam other great example could be of Kanchi Ganesh inside famous lord Jagannath madir. King of Odisha in one of the battle defeated the Kanchi king and from there he brought the Kanchi Ganesh idol. Since 12th century Kanchi Ganesh is worshipped inside Lord Jagganath Temple.

Outstanding!! How resilient, intelligent and collective our ancestors have been across 5000 yrs to have the civilization survive and continue inspite of invaders single handed genocide of dharm. Clearly they are asuras fighting against dharm
Another labour of love by Dr. Jain. Painstaking research. She has devoted her entire life to challenge & question earlier falsehoods . No wonder folks are rattled.
29:20 that same Jain idol which Tughlaq was convinced to give back by Jinprabhsuri MSji and the same temple where it was re-consecrated is still operational in Delhi to this day.
Ma'am I would love to hear more of your talks, please consider starting a RUclips channel of your own. You are a true blue researcher and a speaker of great lucidity and clarity. Very professional too. So much to imbibe from...dhanyavaad, prayers for your good health and continued research and writing.
Great work Madam, You are such profound Historian whose expertise, services shall be used in New Education Policy and framing the syllabus for future History Text books for CBSE/NCERT
Uthrapathiswaraswamy Temple in Nagapattinam, Tamilnadu is where you'll find the Vatapi Ganapati. The story of the Pallava King is described on the wall of the temple.
Aditi Mukherjee; How would you know it is good unless you know the history. She was very selective with the material to suit her bias. Now worship the fictitious vicious Durga with 10 hands riding a lion and Kali the witch.
Dhanywaad Meenakshi ji, aapne kai logon ki ankhein khol di hain. Kripaya Hindi bhasha ya anya Bhartiya bhashaon mein bhi in tathayon ke sabke liye ujagar kerien. Pranam.
Very informative...an eye-opener...Hindus being religious seekers..don't feel the need to desecrate ...other religions's artifacts...unlike religions that originated from outside India....
You are brilliant and your authoritative, insightful analysis and commentary is always well worth listening to. But I must say ‘Poor Orissa, seemed to be having a hard time’!
Great work Ma'am you are awesome The details of the respect by kings towards deities brought tears into our eyes Ending was simply superb, so apt and summarizing our culture
another point : Hindu rulers were tolerant to jews , parsis , christians etc and did not attack their religious places then why would they destroy temples built by rival hindu kings ?
Sambuddha Ghosh. It is sung for Sri Ganesh, a MURDA to remove life obstacles. How stupid are you? Worshipping fictitious, vicious Durga with 10 hands riding a lion. and Kali the witch with blood dripping from her tongue. Satyemeva Jayete.
@@prosantomukerji3931 it is always advisable for a hindu to never take things by its face value but try to find out the underlying philosophy behind each incident ,each swaroop of the Divine.And most importantly the swaroop of Maa Durga or Maa Kali might not be appealing to you.But that does not give you the authority to vilify or mock the faith of millions of those who hold their faith unto the Great Mother Goddess .Lastly pray to the Divine,whichever form seems appealing to your senses, to provide you with a sadguru.I am sure he will be able to dispel the darkness of ignorance and allay your fears (or hatred precisely ) towards the most merciful Maa. Stay safe and happy .
Mam, I completely agree with your argument about the struggle of Hindus BUT... There are some idiots in our history also Kulottunga Chola 2: Thrown the Image of Govinda raja swami into the sea which used to be in the Chidambaram temple complex. It is because he is Shaivite and hates Vaishnavism. He is the one Who blinded Kuratt-Alwar a devotee of Vishnu and disciple of Ramanujacharya. He tried to kill Ramanujacharya. He is named as Krimikantha in Vaishnava texts. But I also acknowledge that Chola rulers constructed Gopurams in Tirupati, Sri Rangam etc. I heard storied of Jains attacking Shiva temples and vice versa.
Taking away a murti is not abusing the sacred in history. For example in Odisha the Gajapati King Prataprudra avenged his honor by defeating the Kanchipura king in the South and brought Sri Kanchi Ganesh and Goddess Tarini. These are being worshipped. The 1st is even now in the Puri Temple of Jagannath. So no invasion of temple either for desecration or for loot of riches. This loot tradition is foreign to the Hindu culture.
I don't understand the disclaimer in the end, from the lecture its evident that she is talking about facts. Are these really her opinion or facts or this disclaimer is wrongly placed? Center of Indic studies- Please clarify.
There are thousands of odia litreture describing about how jaganath murti was hided from invaders. Even murti was kept under a tree for years. What these leftists are talking about?There are thousands of horror stories how people died saving their temples and dieties. One general of mughal only have destroyed 18000 temples in odisha. Even puri jaganath temple was rebuilt in 1100 ad.

While watching my eyes full of tears . how great kings were great never insulted other beliefs thank to my mother that I born in great religion.
