    In an interview about how she views the last 75 years of India’s independence and what sort of country India has become, someone who is considered our foremost historian, Romila Thapar, has said she doesn’t like Modi’s India. Explaining why, she said it’s too narrow and too limited. Romila Thapar says Modi’s India does not represent the fulfillment of the dreams and expectations she had in 1947 when she was a 15-yeard old who was terribly excited by independence. The interview contains her full answer on this issue and we advise you to see it to understand her reservations and concerns about India in 2022.

    While it's a pleasure to listen to Thapar, it is but clear that she was born into a family which was largely insulated from the harsher conditions of Bharat struggling to keep itself together. She is representative of the larger malaise that plagues the Indian elite. No wonder she finds herself out of place in today's India.
    Also, remember, her forefathers were British loyalists who admired the Jalianwalaa Bagh massacre.

      She failed to mention that Nehru appointed almost all his relatives to important positions including envoys in various countries. She herself being a close relative was a gainer in the Nehru era. She also failed to mention that she jumped to create the opinion to suit a certain narrative about Ram Janm Bhoomi despite strong archaeological evidences to the contrary. Her singing paeons to Nehru who did nothing to stop or check the carnages or riots during partition days or in the aftermath of death of Gandhi ji shows her loyalty to Nehru family who were her relative also.
      She mentions about the graceful conduct of Nehru who had problems with people attending the cremation of Mr Patel and Rajendra Prasad but sent a naval ship to lay a wreath for Edwina Mountbetan.

      How the narrative change happened in India and Kashmir
      Mughal (Invaders) became Indian and heroes of India
      Mughal who followed Ghazwae Hind as per Islam became Indian
      Sympathisers of Ghazwae Hind became Indian and we gave them rights equal to us and in Kashmir more than Indians
      Indian gave one more fundamental rights to minority (Muslims) under article 30 which is not available to hindu india but still india follows equality in constitution
      Indian Became Kafir except Muslims
      Akbar became the great/secularist as he was an Indian and not an invader and was eulogised in NCERT books and Shivaji was riduculed.
      NCERT books taught who made tajmahal, qutubminar,lal quila but never taught who broke and vandalised somnath, ram mandir,and mathura/Kashi temple
      Secular and socialist word introduced in constitution in the year 1975/1976 giving rise to Pseudo intellectuals like Prof Radhika Menon/Arunadhiti Roy/Medha patkar and intellectuals like Swami Dayanand riduled for writing book Satyaprakash in 1875
      wrong teaching in schools that all religions are equal and not teaching about Ghazwaae Hind in Islam.
      Kashmir became the place only for Muslims And kashmiri Hindus became refugee in India because India is a secular country and Hindus can stay in Kashmir only if “Asih gatsih Kasheer Bhattav bag air battehnew san ) (We want our Kashmir without Pandit males but with their women folks).
      No Masjid in govt control because Masjid cannot do any wrong but every major Hindu temple under govt control as only temples can do wrong. Than 1100 Masjid in Kashmir shouted on loudspeakers on 19 jan 1990 with aim of Nizame Mustafa and shariyat as------ Allah-o- Akbar,
      Pakistan ka matlab kya/ La ila ha ilallah, Islam zindabad, Pakistan zindabad raised collectively by a multitude of humans . Of Course Raliv,Tsaliv,Galiv(Convert or leave by keeping your women folk)
      Every temple in india and Kashmir said from its loudspeakers " Ishwar allah tere naam "but NO masjid said " Ishwar Allah tere naam" and one sided bhai chara narrative started.
      When I say Mughals babar/akbar/ Aurangzeb as invader than my Indian hindu and muslim friends say I need to respect sensitivity of Indian muslim
      But when I say Britishers as invaders than my Indian Muslim's ,hindus and Indian christian friends do not say I need to respect sensitivity of Indian christian.
      Terrorist became Kashmiri, Kashmiri became refugee and above ALL Soldier /Policeman became oppressors' and soldiers/Policeman were court martialed as oppressors and ridiculed.
      Policeman and army man stone pelted and labelled as oppressors
      the day you court-martial your soldier/Policeman the last line of defence, than you are completely intellectually subverted and cannot differentiate between truth and false.
      Above all, the change of narrative seen on streets when more muslims(lakhs) in janaza of terrorist Yakub memon( in mumbai), and terrorist burhan wani,Geelani etc
      BUT
      very few muslims in janaza of the beloved people of India Honourable President APJ Abdul kalam
      What islam (muslim) gets in india which no other citizen(hindu,buddha,jain,parsi etc ) gets::
      (A) waqf board
      (B) muslim personal law board. Have you ever heard of Christian/hindu/jain/budhhism/Sikhism/parsi personal law
      (C) shariat law for marriages but for criminal law only ipc and no shariat law
      (D) a favourable parliament to overrule supreme court also so that shariat law is applicable for muslims
      (E) haj subsidy
      (F) muslims considered as minority in Lakshadweep even if thier population is 99.99 percent
      (G) a minority commision working mostly for muslims like formation of sacchar comitee report
      (H) a kashmir muslim girl or boy marries pakistan boy or girl than they do not loose rights but if they marry in india apart from kashmir they loose rights in family property.this was when 370 in force
      (J) masjid gets rights in india for azaan which denigrate other religion by saying nobody is worthy of worship other than allah.
      Just reverse mandir sayoing nobody worthy of worship except shri ram and india will not be secular
      (K) freedom to propagate Islam despite having concept of Ghazwae hind in islam because India is secular
      (L) one more fundamental right in article 30 not available to hindus despite equality in constitution
      Above all,a minority ( minority by definition is weak) could carve a country Pakistan from India ,means the minority was not weak but strong and should not be treated as minority and is not a minority( sardar Patel statement)

      How the narrative change happened in India and Kashmir
      Mughal (Invaders) became Indian and heroes of India
      Mughal who followed Ghazwae Hind as per Islam became Indian
      Sympathisers of Ghazwae Hind became Indian and we gave them rights equal to us and in Kashmir more than Indians
      Indian gave one more fundamental rights to minority (Muslims) under article 30 which is not available to hindu india but still india follows equality in constitution
      Indian Became Kafir except Muslims
      Akbar became the great/secularist as he was an Indian and not an invader and was eulogised in NCERT books and Shivaji was riduculed.
      NCERT books taught who made tajmahal, qutubminar,lal quila but never taught who broke and vandalised somnath, ram mandir,and mathura/Kashi temple
      Secular and socialist word introduced in constitution in the year 1975/1976 giving rise to Pseudo intellectuals like Prof Radhika Menon/Arunadhiti Roy/Medha patkar and intellectuals like Swami Dayanand riduled for writing book Satyaprakash in 1875
      wrong teaching in schools that all religions are equal and not teaching about Ghazwaae Hind in Islam.
      Kashmir became the place only for Muslims And kashmiri Hindus became refugee in India because India is a secular country and Hindus can stay in Kashmir only if “Asih gatsih Kasheer Bhattav bag air battehnew san ) (We want our Kashmir without Pandit males but with their women folks).
      No Masjid in govt control because Masjid cannot do any wrong but every major Hindu temple under govt control as only temples can do wrong. Than 1100 Masjid in Kashmir shouted on loudspeakers on 19 jan 1990 with aim of Nizame Mustafa and shariyat as------ Allah-o- Akbar,
      Pakistan ka matlab kya/ La ila ha ilallah, Islam zindabad, Pakistan zindabad raised collectively by a multitude of humans . Of Course Raliv,Tsaliv,Galiv(Convert or leave by keeping your women folk)
      Every temple in india and Kashmir said from its loudspeakers " Ishwar allah tere naam "but NO masjid said " Ishwar Allah tere naam" and sided narrative started.
      When I say Mughals babar/akbar/ Aurangzeb as invader than my Indian hindu and muslim friends say I need to respect sensitivity of Indian muslim
      But when I say Britishers as invaders than my Indian Muslim's ,hindus and Indian christian friends do not say I need to respect sensitivity of Indian christian.
      Terrorist became Kashmiri, Kashmiri became refugee and above ALL Soldier /Policeman became oppressors' and soldiers/Policeman were court martialed as oppressors and ridiculed.
      Policeman and army man stone pelted and labelled as oppressors
      the day you court-martial your soldier/Policeman the last line of defence, than you are completely intellectually subverted and cannot differentiate between truth and false.
      Above all, the change of narrative seen on streets when more muslims(lakhs) in janaza of terrorist Yakub memon( in mumbai), and terrorist Ashraf wani,Geelani

    A great interview that beautifully illustrates the elite consensus underlying the nation-building project inaugurated in 1947. Sadly--like all ideologies--it carried the seeds of its own destruction because of its silences, lies, and distortions. Regarding intermarriage between Mughals and Rajputs, how many Mughal princesses married into Rajput families? Just because Hindus and Muslims worked together doesn't mean that Hindu temples were not destroyed as acts of domination and wanton vandalism by forces bent on promoting Islamic supremacy in India. If we use Thapar's examples of Hindu-Muslim co-existence and apply them to the American case, we will end up denying the genocide of Native Americans, taking of their lands, and stamping out of their culture because some White people were tolerant and there was widespread intermarriage between Europeans and Native Americans. Looks like the secular forces/establishment has learned nothing from the clobbering it has received from the other side. It's time that materialist historiography came to terms with the lived experience, emotional and social reality, historical memory, and horrible injustices of the past. Without accounting for these, the future will be increasingly majoritarian and exclusionary--definitely not something that any right-thinking person can approve of and certainly a big setback to the nation-building project.

    • @advityat
      @advityat Год назад +1

      Nowhere did they specifically say that temple destructions did not happen! Although I do get your point.
      Another thing, some of the Muslim rulers definitely indulged in wantons acts of violence and vandalism, but were the warring Hindu kings kinder to each other and the people they invaded? Even Hindu kings vandalised each other's temples and massacred each other's populations.

    • @dugyan
      @dugyan Год назад +2

      @@advityat The intra-Hindu conflicts often had a different rationale and logic than the violence and oppression unleashed by the Mughals and, even worse, the Delhi Sultanate. It is very well documented and in many different texts and accounts that the purpose was to demean and demoralize the Hindus and subjugate them in the name of promoting the greater glory of Islam (e.g. Tax collectors during the Khilji period were instructed to spit into the Hindu property holders' mouths. Hindus not allowed to dress well, ride horses etc). Regarding the destruction of the temples, the example that Thapar gave was of Qutab Minar which is a particularly poor example in my view of Hindu-Muslim harmony. The entire Qutab complex was built by razing down a complex of some 30 Jain temples and their debris was used in the construction.

      @@dugyan Whatever the rational and logic, the outcome was often the same for the losing side. Plenty of examples of capital cities of the Chalukyas, Pallavas and Rashtrakutas all getting all but obliterated by the invading/winning side. And if memory serves me right, the beaten Yadavas joined the Delhi Sultanate force to fight the Kakatiyas. And a few centuries later, the events preceding the battle of Talikota really shows the fluidity of alliances during that period.

      @@ash1m Looks like we are on our way to becoming a Pakistan anyways--notwithstanding the valiant efforts of secular historians and their political counterparts. The larger question though is: Should historical truth be sidelined or brushed under the rug in pursuit of specific social goals, no matter how lofty or noble they may be (as seems to have happened with the dominant school of historiography in India)? Or does that increase the likelihood of the truth being hijacked to serve a sectarian, exclusionary, and bigoted agenda? In the US history books were revised to include the atrocities committed by Europeans against Native Americans and Black (which the right-wing continues to fight ferociously). The RW uses the argument that teaching about past injustices and atrocities will only divide society and create social unrest.

      And Romila Thapar adopted the Christian missionary outlook about the non-existence of a ‘unified religion’ in India. Only this can explain her wild postulations about Hindu Dharma in what she prefers to call the ‘pre-Islamic’ period.
      Why is there no reference to Sanatana Dharma in her writing? Both the term and the system as a whole is so prominent in Indian thinking, treatises, folklore and tradition since time immemorial. Instead, there is repeated reference to some ‘Brahmin dharma’ or ‘Brahminism’ in the writings of the Marxist historians, which according to them was exploitative, cunning and full of class-selfishness.

      And Romila Thapar adopted the Christian missionary outlook about the non-existence of a ‘unified religion’ in India. Only this can explain her wild postulations about Hindu Dharma in what she prefers to call the ‘pre-Islamic’ period.
      Why is there no reference to Sanatana Dharma in her writing? Both the term and the system as a whole is so prominent in Indian thinking, treatises, folklore and tradition since time immemorial. Instead, there is repeated reference to some ‘Brahmin dharma’ or ‘Brahminism’ in the writings of the Marxist historians, which according to them was exploitative, cunning and full of class-selfishness.
