Romila Thapar: Why Indian History Cannot be Reduced to 'Hindu vs Muslim' (CD Deshmukh Lecture, 2023)

Titled “Our History, Your History, Whose History?”, her speech delivered at the annual C.D.Deshmukh memorial lecture at the India International Centre brought out the primary contradiction between professional historians who depend on methodological analysis that “demands a training in reading sources” to give an understanding of how our past came to be and popular historians who lack training but more often than create an imagined history to establish majoritarian supremacy.

    It was she who reduced it to Hindu vs Muslim debate, by suppressing facts and providing a version which would appease a certain section of people, and completely suppress and to the extent f shamelessly supressing the long illustrious history of various Indina kings. (the absence of her brethren in 2010 Ayodhya judgement is very well documented in the judgement itself.) She herself perpetuated the divide by backing the ideas of colonialists and made India a prime example of Post-Colonial state,. Now when confronted by other Historians, academics, instead of defending her work and manuscripts, she is playing the same old technique of preaching, rather than standing by her works. No wonder we still have a colonial indset as education has made us believe what British envisioned of India. And studying Ancinet Indina History from an Anglacised historians, is similar to a Nazi teaching Human Rights to Jews

    Romila Thapar was recently invited to debates, but I have never seen her in one. No matter what she says in her written commentary here, I still think she needs to accept that her view of history is not the only one and that there are other true perspectives as well. She is supporter of colonialism and the Aryan invasion theory. We all need to live in harmony in any country including India. Those who claim that India is secular and that the Muslims that remained in India and did not want to join Pakistan should bear in my mind the following fact: 97% Muslims voted in favour of the Muslim League for Pakistan Creation, but 50% of them chose to stay back Post Partition.

    Hindutwa is simple "Essence of Hindu Teachings". You can call it Hinduism, The "Ism" is a Foreign Word added by British. In Sanskrit, The "Ism" is called "Tatva" so shortened to "Tva". So "Essence of Hindu" = Hindu + Tatwa = Hindutwa = Hinduiusm. Our Hindu Gods were not Pacifist like Gandhi or Jesus, They carry Weapons to Slaughter the Wicked and Evil Forces while upholding "Dharma" (Righteous Code) and Protecting the Weak and Innocent.

    A Monkey was raised among Bandits (Daku). It saw itself as a Victim and its Bandit Masters as Rightful People. So it helped its Bandit Master to Steal, Kill and Loot from Innocent people. The Monkey was not Evil, It was just a Prodiuct of Upbringing and Braineashing with Wicked and Evil Bandits, who had brainwashed it. Such is the case of Romila Thapar. She will never accept her Agenda is built around the Christian Colonizers and Islamic Invaders in the first place. She is just like the Brainwashed Monkey in the hands of Wicked Bandits. I wouldn't blame the Monkey, I would feel pity for it and blame the Bandits for their Brainwashing.

    So, Yudhishthir learnt Satya, ahimsa from Asoka. You should take up a mission of reviewing and rewriting ancient Indian literature for enlightening Indians. Many historians proved that one need not have even basic skills of Sanskrit or Pali language still you can become a prominent historian of ancient India. Keep going. No pun intended.

    Another half-baked analysis. History thru biology? Various bio studies on whether a lion or tiger be a pet....should be the basis on the above line: for eg: "No matter how cooperative and docile they may seem and act there are no guarantees that their interaction with humans won’t turn from friendly to aggressive at some point in their life. The aggression of a tamed animal can be far more unpredictable, and dangerous, compared to domesticated animals".

    ​​@Maha Hindutwa buffons do not know history that's why they are hell bent on defiling Romila. So, what kind of literary evidence you have to support your own statement. Romila might be the only historian in India who has been open and in fact liberal with how indians percieved history as early mode of recording events. She went out of a limb to quoto deviating sentences to piece together a proof that Indians knew how to write history. If you question a historian, come with your literary evidence cross checked by linguists and scholars, and who says she does not know Sanskrit? Well even if she does not know does not change the fact that in SOAS where she teaches and even became a professor emirtus there has trained sanskritists who train people in Pali, Prakrit and Classical Sanskrit. Same in Cambridge and Oxford as well. It's easy to question anyone's work by questioning it, it's upon the other person to respond and defend themselves. Romila is often questioned on her narratives, populist narrative reconstruction. But heresay is not history go get a document that you think contradicts the very point she is making and provide an alternate argument on it. The fact that right wing's intellectual handicapped existence, that they do not have good historians, they cannot submit proof, their books are often shred to pieces in a peer review basis, is not something that Romila is responsible. You guys should write and research better. What do you know about Sanskrit? Pali and Prakrit? During Mauryas what language was the authority implementing on people. Even dharmshastras even the most auspicious kinds say that Sanskrit is only reserved for Brahmans. Brahmans being the 12th kind of priest where there were others as well. Rig veda has been geneologically rewritten almost thousand times and the most hilarious part is if it was not for british i hardly think people would even know India had a history. Saying is easy, being tasted and able to provide counterfactuals is hard.
