    I am more accurate than historical texts ?? Many mentally derailed ( with due respect to them) have symptoms df being better than others. They need professional support to overcome this challenge.

    You see, this is often the fundamental issue with the right-wing half-read rabid religious/ultra-nationalist fanatics like you - it boils down to trumpeting victory by pointing at apparently 'many loopholes' in genuine historians' arguments that obviously do not toe in line with the imagined pseudohistorical devotional history the saffron chimpanzees subscribe to, and yeah ! add a bunch of laughing emojis onto a lecture in order to demean academic skepticism. One does not need to know Arabic or Sanskrit to judge and study a historical period. By not 'knowing sanskrit' does not mean she had never had access to sanskrit texts because today is the age of digital lexicons, multiple online sources at one's fingertips and access to thousands of books, in this way, one does not need to know Sanskrit in order to examine those texts because a PhD scholar has other ways to go in depth into these arcane texts and sometimes far better than a traditionalist. I know whence come this argument 'she does not know sanskrit language therefore she is not credible', apart from a deep psychological trauma which is held in a Hindutva fanatic's head, these imbecile tropes are spread by likes of Ravi Dixit, and Sanjay Dixit of Jaipur Dialogue (I often listen to them when I cannot find my comic book). Secondly, the Ram-Janam Bhoomi has not even an iota of historical basis other than an emotional commitment to a mythology which is now no more an innocent mythology but a political tool to subvert facts with fiction. I know it butt-hurts come of you, and this is creepy true. You can simply brush her under carpet by saying 'I cannot trust these leftist marxist historians' - a group than often invokes colonial remnants in the modern India, or the last resistance towers against the Mission Saffronization of History. The bad news is - the truth shall prevail.

    ​@@salmanhyder1655 I have read Romila Thapar enough to make a judgement about her writings. Her writings are reasonably credible for the most part but her conclusions clearly show her biases. I can give you not one, not ten, but hundreds of loopholes in her writings. She IS a leftist marxist historian but that doesn't make me dislike her. I genuinely admire Bipan Chandra, Ranajit Guha and also the "non-Marxist" Ramchandra Guha but unfortunately, I cannot admire a person who says that King Yudhistr got inspired from Ashoka. From your name, it's evident that you are a Muslim and obviously, your grievances over the Ram Janmabhoomi case has not been redressed. I would like to extend my sympathy towards yourself but it's high time you get over it. Everything about Ram Janmabhoomi is *true* and is proven by the archeological findings. Just swallow the bitter pill or... you can cope while reading the facts: www.sci.gov.in/pdf/JUD_2.pdf

    1)“Signatory is reflected to Greek period”- to this I would just say that it is common sense, try sending a ring of your son in law to you daughter in law. 2)”Ramayana and Mahabharata are stories which are an amalgamation” if they are mere stories then find their actual dates. What about the Ram Setu bridge, for your knowledge the mountain that Hanuman uprooted to bring the Sanjeevani, their predecessors do not praise, pray or like Hanuman, if you are a historian try visit the place. There is also a cave in Pithoragarh Uttarakhand called Patal Bhuvneshwar, The cave, it is believed, is connected by an underground route to Mount Kailash. It is believed that the Pandavas and their wife Draupadi, the heroes of the Mahabharata, proceeded towards their last journey in the Himalayas after meditating here, in front of Lord Shiva. There are infact many places in Uttarakhand which are a proof of these scripts. Some places were found because of these sacred scripts. I don’t even envy you because you are so full of yourself. Relax you are already old, try not to get a heart attack while debating okay.

    Romila Thapar is a Jihadi historian who has distorted everything to criticize and malign Hindus and provide cover to Jihadis. She became prominent as all the resources of the government under Nehru Gandhi mafia went to support and promote her -- she was family and fellow Jihadi.

However we can't say we've been particularly kind to each other either prior to the western and near eastern invaders.

    Thapar was not asked to assess the authenticity of the Ramayan or the existence of God or whether Hindu's should have faith - NO ! She was asked if there was a Temple under the Babri Masjid that was demolished ? Did the hindu community consider this site sacred and worship there ? Simple Historical questions ! What was the evidence ! No one whats her opinions on Hinduism as a faith or religion ! Not her bloody business what people believe in !!!
