Indeed! There isn't even a pretense of intellectual rigor anymore. Whatever sounds like the right narrative to bring up a grievance against dead guys and alive Muslims is now history. Even if actual history says something completely different.

Independence didn't happen in ancient history. It was all in modern times and extensively documented. Patel being denied PMship is literally complete fiction. The reality is that Patel never coveted the PMship. He & Nehru were never rivals! They were always colleagues.
Within the Congress leadership, there was always general consensus that Nehru would be the PM. Not Gandhi having sole authority. Patel was 15 years older than Nehru, had health issues, and didn't even live to complete his 1st term as Home Minister.
In this video I show you how Op India used a 45 seconds clip from @ShekharGupta's Cut The Clutter Video and mischievously edited it to make a narrative that is not only false, but 180 degree opposite to what Mr Gupta said. I welcome @OpIndia_com to correct me if I am wrong.
The point where Mr. Gupta said "several prominent Bloomsbury authors and you'll see those name on screen..." there were screenshots of @DalrympleWill @harikunzru @AatishTaseer etc. In Op India's clip the screenshots are mischievously of @sanjeevsanyal @Sanjay_Dixit etc.
The entire Cut The Clutter video of Mr. Gupta was about blaming the liberal mob of bullying Bloomsbury into withdrawing the book. He completely blamed liberals. And Op India made headline that he is blaming right wing. Here is original video
