@@pantonfire😄 Thanks to you sir for bringing such amazing guests on the podcast. You are a fantastic host to top it all. Kudos to the entire backend team as well.
What amazes me more than Manu's incredible knowledge is his ability to recall and retell the facts and stories on demand and structure the answers so well !
Hands down the best podcast of this series. The whole conversation was so beautiful nd satisfying with tons of factual ideas nd unbiased views being put forward.
@@pantonfire yes , as we all agree that The progressive journey involves challenging our different layers with different idealogies nd views. And little by little , correcting them all. Besides there is a huge scarcity , right now , of credible nd good thoughtful resources of knowledge , so these kind of podcasts are a gem.
Manu is a brilliant story teller & his lucid style of presenting History and historical facts makes History all the more interesting. Hats off to you guys for this wonderful podcast. Two hours seemed just a few minutes & the session never appeared boring at any time. Thanks.
Manu is such a charm 🥰 I could listen to him speak for hours.. ❤️ I love how thoroughly he has researched about certain things and took a different route to engage with indian history.. I was never into history or historians but this man has completely converted me. ❤️
Who knows if Sorabh Sir hadn't brought Manu Sir in his podcast I would probably never have had the chance to get to know such an insightful person. Pure ❤️ bhai!
I have heard Manu Pillai multiple times including in person where he already mentioned most of the stories he told on this live stream. And still this two hour session felt like minutes. And then I've also read his books. And I can go on listen to him speak for a few more hours. What a fantastic storyteller!!! Immensely knowledgeable, fantastic storytellers, also has a sense of humour and so so humble. The combination is ❤
I am so glad that Manu was invited for this. His books are fascinating Also, is no one gonna mention that Manu and Mohak are wearing the exact same pair of specs
When Manu talks about historical inaccuracies and mentions Manikarnika and Kangana Ranaut spewing loudly "Deshdrohi", so funny, I couldn't stop imagining Kangana distorting real life events for her personal-commercial gain!
Bhai ye historian log kya mast hote hai yaar. Sorabh bhai aap saare famous historians ko bulao, fir saare non-famous historians ko bulao, fir history professors ko bulao, fir history book writers ko bulao, fir history history book publishers ko bualo, fir history book printers ko bulao, fir history book binders ko bulao... you get it.
This is hands down the best episodes in the series so far. The riveting stories from Manu are the kind we need to tell people to rekindle their love for Indian history. I am someone who has taken a recent liking to Indian history and would love to see him back on these podcasts again. And yes, as someone had already pointed out, you should do a separate stream with Mohak coz am pretty sure his ideologies and stories would be very interesting too. Thank you Sourabh for arranging this!
Beautiful episode though, and great insights by Manu. At least, dumbasses like me are able to get exposed to budding genius historians of our country via commoners like Sorabh (no offense, Pant). Not disagreeing, but yea..
Idk why exactly but it’s really fascinating and satisfying to listen to you 3.im an avid listener of Mohak and Saurab and Mohak have their channel, I beg please Manu please make your youtube channel too. We’d love to listen to you more
Hey Sorabh.. awesome stream.. I could not catch it live but just now listened to it.. couple of things I would like to share post listening to stream: 1. I did know about Mohak but somehow never knew about Manu Pillai before today.. so it was awesome to know about this young historian.. I was amazed to see how eloquent he is... I could just listen to him for hours together.. it never ever felt that the stream was 2hrs plus... 2. Through out the talks I too realized how lopesided our history knowledge is (and I mean this for most for whom it is based on the curriculum taught in school). I'm a Tamilian but raised primarily in North India.. I just have a basic knowlege of the history and culture of South India and mostly because of what I learn in school years. It was eye-opening to listen to Manu and realise how much I've missed of my own background. His stories and talks are now inspiring me to just take an initiative and learn more about this. As some one said History as a subject is so fascinating but somehow as young students we are not introduced to it in a likeable/ intresting manner. But better late than never. I look forward to reading all of Manu's books and look forward to more. 3. Getting Mohak along with Manu was a great choice. it was intresting to see Mohak pick Manu's thoughts to try and relate current political/social scenario with that of events in our history... 3. The stream just underlined the fact that since a majority of our nation has no clear knowledge of our rich history and more of "run of the mill" textbook knowlege, how easy it's for those in politics/power to distort the past and mould it to spoon feed us crap and further their agenda. A majority of so called well educated would fall for the lies so I can't imagine how it would be for others.. a good example: in the stream with Mr. Guha I was really astonished when he explained about how the ruling party has adopted Sardar Patel as their own when he did not even have any allegiance to them at all. The way the current party has been touting Sardar as their superstar icon of sorts is mind boggling when one realises the truth. 4. Its really fab that you are doing these streams and getting a variety of guests from various walks of life. Listening to some of the guests has ignited a lot of curiousity in me to learn about so many different areas/topics. So a huge thanks to you. Looking forward to more of these streams.. 5. And finally Happy Birthday Sorabh..🎉🎉🎉 hope you have a fabulous day with your loved ones..stay healthy and safe
I hope some people in North and right wing extremist takes it in right sense. People like Manu, tharoor is a gem to our country but unfortunately most people doesn't even give proper respect to true speakers like them.
Tharoor talks about British history so he is popular .But doesn't talk about Mughals so that he doesn't lose vote banks in Kerala or online fanboys and girls.
Tharror has his own biases, don't paint a picture of all right wing is evil and all so called left wings are angels with white wings..everyone has their own lies and everyone is grey..which you should understand..
My goodness.. What an gem I got to discover today.. Sorabh because of you i get to listen and get intrested history, books.. The guest you brought so far were soo awesome .. Hope many guest with such vivid knowledge comes to your podcast... 😃
Commented on community post "Hope Mohak will speak more than last time" but listening to Manu was a great thing I could ever think of. Thank you Sorabh for bringing this gem in front of me (who wasn't aware about Manu's work earlier). Now I'm very excited to read the work by Manu. About to buy his book in couple of days for sure.
I don't think it is so easy to judge the country based on the views these podcasts/streams get. Different videos get different views. I'm not taking any sides here but this metric seems a flawed one. Also you can't blame the public if such streams with politics in it get less views than streams based on cricket or the delhi takeover one. IMO, ppl like to watch such streams/podcasts for fun and entertainment and learning abt history and politics may not be as entertaining to them as 2-3hrs of continuous laughter.
@@prateekranjan3453 it's definitely not a hard metric, and I'm not making judgements marked in stone, but one surely does feel disappointed when people who post absolutely shitty content, say bad movie reviews, or rants, or whatnot, people have made careers out of reactions on reactions by foreigners on content pieces like cricket clips, or standups, whereas people who have put in such level of hardwork, get so small number of views. BTW, it's interesting that our country has no celebrities who are from literature, other countries do.
Loved every bit of it. Shoutout to Manu, he reminds of Carl Sagan when he talks. Brilliant storyteller he is. I hope you get him back on the podcast someday.
If our sleep cycles get disturbed/ruined for such an amazing content then be it! Thanks Sorabh 🤍 All of us nerds here (commenting) need a Guha and Manu podcast😬 Listening to two great intellectuals would be an Awstounding (Awesome plus Astounding) experience
Woah Sorabh, thanks for these podcasts! You have introduced me to so many interesting people and ideas. This was a treasure of knowledge, me being a Malayalee was even more interested in our history. Such great people who I've never known before but will now definitely follow. Thank you so much!
Mr. Pillai- ... And that's how South East Asia was influenced by Hindu culture. Mr. Pant- And we have a superchat with a Sun Emoji, that's really great... Thank you Mr. Pant for bringing in so many people from different professions to have a conversation. Each podcast provides new and varied learnings. Especially this one.
Sorabh again , have been following wake up series religiously , and the graph is only going up .🤗 ..... Also will it be possible in future to call any reputated professional teachers for exams like jee , neet ( offline or online teacher ) ... I guess it will be intellectual and will provide deep real insites into education systems like Kota ( which are very rigorous and tough compared to regular ICSE , CBSE curriculum .........( Virtual pappiya jhappiya 😀😀)
@@pantonfire don't know any names as such personally , but if you check platforms like unacademy many nationaly reputated ones are teaching there ..... Otherwise also whoever comes I'm in 200% hooked
Great podcast! I disagree with the reading of the bloomsbury issue. The same people who cancelled the book have squarely ignored the involvement of Taheer Hussain in the Delhi riots and blaming it all on Kapil Mishra, which he is involved too. They were themselves spreading propaganda and calling it a pogrom when it was clearly a communal riot. They have no leg to stand on when it comes to spreading narratives!
Exactly and one more thing is that another book based on Shaheen Bagh written by opposite side spectrum of the Bloomsbury's cancelled book was published without any hassle. And if by go though the procedure explained by Manu.. that book should've been cancelled just like this book. But it wasn't. And I agree about the term "किताब का जवाब किताब से"... Dono books ko publish karna allow karna chahiye tha.. aise cancel karna is clearly wrong. Aur jin logo ne bhi protest kiya tha wo log kitne selective outrage karne wale hai ye sabko pata hai. And yes Tahir Hussain and Kapil Mishra both are responsible for the Delhi riots. Other than that issue this is one of the best podcast in youtube.
@@KamalKumar-di8sb Phir aur ladayi hoti. Better hota agar dono cancel hote. Jahaan tak outrage ki baat hai, selective ya not selective yeh hum nahi decide kar sakte. Protest hai ek issue ko lekar, hame agar laga zaruri nahi hai iska matlab yeh nahi ki actual mei zaruri nahi. Even in the smallest of issues protest is a right. Haan yeh baat bhi sahi hai ki dono taraf se fir usko religion ke base pe politicise kiya gaya . Par kyuki kuch selected logo ne yeh kiya toh iska dosh baaki jo sahi grounds pe khade hai unpe kyu hi dalna. Outrage selective tha ka matlab yeh hai ki kis baaat pe outrage karna chahiye aur kis baat pe nahi iska option milta hai. Par aisa nahi hai. Logo ko pagega parreshani hai toh woh virodh karenge.
Hey Sorabh, firstly thank you for these sessions. It is very nice to have something like this to watch in the current situation. Much as I hate and am not ordering you to do anything, I would suggest bringing on some economists, maybe talk about the current economic crises and compare them with past ones, say 2008. There is an excellent podcast video on precisely this, on the seen and the unseen, hosted by amit verma. It would be amazing to have him on here
For me history told in an entertaining manner beats any other form of entertainment. I will strongly recommend “ A history of the world” by Andrew Marr to anyone interested in reading history. And if you are a lazy ass like me, it is available as an audiobook in audible as well.
@@pantonfire He just ruined the last podcast, else he's a good person I'd say. Thought he was high on something like he was in podcast with you guys with Comedy Factory. His random quiz shows were fun to watch.
Being a centrist , I don't understand this " whosoever are intelligent " or " are educated" , I mean who decides that? Why always left consider themselves as the superior ? If you genuinely want a debate, you need to give other person space where they can put their point without shutting them off as "bhakts" "illiterate" etc.
There is not an educated right wing in India. They don't use scientifically sound methods to argue. No one can take those arguments seriously. You can't have a serious conversation while also believing that aeroplanes existed in Indian 5000 years ago, for example. I mean come on!
@@Stephensofceea Well I'd agree with you if the beliefs were baseless. There are texts dated 5000 year old by modern historians, which talk about vimanas in detail. Let us assume even if it was mythology, a thought of a flying device 5000 years ago is not normal, people get killed for that in other countries. There are many historic mysteries in our country, take the case of old temples built out of granite. History says that there was no tech back then and everything was built with chisels and hammers, but then even using the latest technology we are not able to recreate those masterpieces. Checkout this channel on RUclips "Praveen Mohan" he does videos on ancient india.
Chhatrapati Shivaji emphasized hindavi swarajya as Kingdom of this land belonging to this peoples and not ruled by outsiders... actually hindavi more as Persian word expressing rule by people of their land

It's a breeze in midst of everything.. thanks Sorabh!
Waiting for Manu's podcast to happen ASAP.
Only if history was taught like this in school, I'd have loved this subject.
Omg this is such an amazing thing to hear to can youtube please uplift stuff like this !!

1:02:03 the question was about a mythical continent Kumari kandam. Kumari is kumari from Kanyakumari and kandam is continent.
Manu making us history students look cool😎😎.
Hands down man .These two hours were a investment (in terms of watching)
Sorabh, you are my new faavvv.......panel was awsomee....already waiting for future shows....
Thank you for this Sorabh. This was amazing..!!
Very educated conversation. 👌
Great podcast! I disagree with the reading of the bloomsbury issue. The same people who cancelled the book have squarely ignored the involvement of Taheer Hussain in the Delhi riots and blaming it all on Kapil Mishra, which he is involved too. They were themselves spreading propaganda and calling it a pogrom when it was clearly a communal riot. They have no leg to stand on when it comes to spreading narratives!
Exactly and one more thing is that another book based on Shaheen Bagh written by opposite side spectrum of the Bloomsbury's cancelled book was published without any hassle. And if by go though the procedure explained by Manu.. that book should've been cancelled just like this book. But it wasn't. And I agree about the term "किताब का जवाब किताब से"... Dono books ko publish karna allow karna chahiye tha.. aise cancel karna is clearly wrong. Aur jin logo ne bhi protest kiya tha wo log kitne selective outrage karne wale hai ye sabko pata hai. And yes Tahir Hussain and Kapil Mishra both are responsible for the Delhi riots. Other than that issue this is one of the best podcast in youtube.
@@KamalKumar-di8sb Phir aur ladayi hoti. Better hota agar dono cancel hote. Jahaan tak outrage ki baat hai, selective ya not selective yeh hum nahi decide kar sakte. Protest hai ek issue ko lekar, hame agar laga zaruri nahi hai iska matlab yeh nahi ki actual mei zaruri nahi. Even in the smallest of issues protest is a right. Haan yeh baat bhi sahi hai ki dono taraf se fir usko religion ke base pe politicise kiya gaya . Par kyuki kuch selected logo ne yeh kiya toh iska dosh baaki jo sahi grounds pe khade hai unpe kyu hi dalna. Outrage selective tha ka matlab yeh hai ki kis baaat pe outrage karna chahiye aur kis baat pe nahi iska option milta hai. Par aisa nahi hai. Logo ko pagega parreshani hai toh woh virodh karenge.
Hey Sorabh, firstly thank you for these sessions. It is very nice to have something like this to watch in the current situation. Much as I hate and am not ordering you to do anything, I would suggest bringing on some economists, maybe talk about the current economic crises and compare them with past ones, say 2008. There is an excellent podcast video on precisely this, on the seen and the unseen, hosted by amit verma. It would be amazing to have him on here
For me history told in an entertaining manner beats any other form of entertainment. I will strongly recommend “ A history of the world” by Andrew Marr to anyone interested in reading history. And if you are a lazy ass like me, it is available as an audiobook in audible as well.
I literally see the words spoken by Pillai flying over Sorabh’s head 😂
Thank god we didn't have Abhijit Ganguly in this one.
Hahahahaha. I will screenshot and send him this to annoy him.
He just ruined the last one!
@@pantonfire He just ruined the last podcast, else he's a good person I'd say. Thought he was high on something like he was in podcast with you guys with Comedy Factory. His random quiz shows were fun to watch.
@@praty92 Which one is this???

What a fantastic episode! Would have been nice to have KV on this one though. No?
True would have been nice to have kv
This is best podcast I ever encounter....
Thanks for doing another video with Mohak/Soch !
Great conversation 👌 acknowledge
Enjoyed this conversation thoroughly.
I just loved this episode, thanks sorabh for this👍🏻🔥
Loved the stream. One of the best on the channel
Being a centrist , I don't understand this " whosoever are intelligent " or " are educated" ,
I mean who decides that?
Why always left consider themselves as the superior ?
If you genuinely want a debate, you need to give other person space where they can put their point without shutting them off as "bhakts" "illiterate" etc.
There is not an educated right wing in India. They don't use scientifically sound methods to argue. No one can take those arguments seriously. You can't have a serious conversation while also believing that aeroplanes existed in Indian 5000 years ago, for example. I mean come on!
@@Stephensofceea Well I'd agree with you if the beliefs were baseless. There are texts dated 5000 year old by modern historians, which talk about vimanas in detail. Let us assume even if it was mythology, a thought of a flying device 5000 years ago is not normal, people get killed for that in other countries. There are many historic mysteries in our country, take the case of old temples built out of granite. History says that there was no tech back then and everything was built with chisels and hammers, but then even using the latest technology we are not able to recreate those masterpieces.
Checkout this channel on RUclips "Praveen Mohan" he does videos on ancient india.
Leftists basically live in illusion that they are always right! So they act foolishly
Your point is right. But hindu right wing, even literate people argue very aggressively and insensitively.
@@neyazahmad76 agreed, but not all people are like that. Only people on Republic and Times Now debates are like that
Excellent discui really enjoyed...heard you a while back Manu in JAIPUR LITERATURE TO SERIES keep up the good work 👍
Really loved the discussion! ❤️
Chhatrapati Shivaji emphasized hindavi swarajya as Kingdom of this land belonging to this peoples and not ruled by outsiders... actually hindavi more as Persian word expressing rule by people of their land
Loved this!
Learned so much
Best episode of the podcast series 👍🏻
One of the best by far
WHAT. A. GREAT. EPISODE!
The funniest historical movie I have seen recently is a Telugu film called Syera Narasimha Reddy
Where can I find Manus podcast that he was talking about??
Okay, they're asking him to start one, desole
Hi Sorabh ji, please try to bring economists. :)
I've been figuring this exactly. Please suggest names.
@@pantonfire abhijit Banerjee and Esther duflo, Nobel Prize winners
Raghuram Rajan will be tough, but will contribute to your hair fund if you can get him
Sudipta Sarangi, Kaushik Basu, Arvind Subramanian, Anisha Sharma, Ashwini Deshpande
Cheif economic advisor of India. He is idle mostly and is really funny.
Rathin roy - really intelresting voice, arvind subramaniam, s gurumurthy might be a far reach but can try
Excellent Work.. Keep it up
Excellent watching. Keep doing that also :).
Very enjoyable..
1:43:00 : Hahahaha the book was meant for audience that never reads anything. Manu just trolled the entire bhakt community with that single line.
