Complete garbage. I will take it apart tomorrow.

They Peddle Myths and Call It History nyti.ms/2JqIB2y
Well how Convenient. Clubbing both ML and RSS as having started in 1920s. Muslim League formed in 1908 , separate electorates given to them in 1909. RSS (or similar organisations) was Newton's Third Law.
There was an Organisation called the 'Hindu Sabha' ... Started by guess who ? Its job was to safeguard Hindu interests. Madam does not mention this organisation 🤣🤣 . Gandhi was supportive of formation of this organisation. 😊
The fact that multiple Muslim rulers have seen the M and H components of their kingdoms as separate entities - imposing jaziya , applying Sharia , creating glass ceilings escapes her attention. She then indulges in two nation whataboutery viz Hindu Mahasabha.
Praising the then rulers for Bhakti movement is another commie hit job. Fact is , the Bhakti movement was in reaction to the restrictions put on idol worship , rituals etc.

I will come to the administration part later.
Ref : Shivaji ani Samarth Ramdas Anyonya Sambandha

Basically says dharma was in great danger , it gave rise to bhakti movement.
With the start of Khilji rule in Maharashtra , dharma was in great danger. Temples were broken , rituals were curbed. At this time , work of saints such as Dyaneshwar just about kept Maharashtra within the folds of Sanatan Dharma.

Thaparji , waiting for your tippani.
Eminent historian Rajwade also says same thing.

See reference in screenshot
The Aryan Invasion theory has been championed by the Left for five decades. It is historians outside the leftist - Mueller spectrum , the Right Wing if you please , who have junked it.

Credits where due ? No ?
Rather Ironic title 🤣🤣
Thapar says Upper Castes dominated administration. Let us see how Indian Muslims fared in Mughal administration , leave alone Hindus and Upper Castes.
Here is the administration under Jahangir

Where are the Upper Castes ??
Here is Mughal administration , that epitome of Secularism India must strive for
Whataboutery level _ Legend

The difference you see , is that Hindu society accepts its social and historical wrongs. A largely UPPER CASTE parliament passed the Reservation Laws.

Coming to temples ...
Some Muslim rulers indulged in excesses of the religious kind . ( Thank the heavenly lord at least this much is agreed) . But ( whatabout? ) Hindus destroying Hindu temples ? Hindus attacked other temples at times , but mainly to take away the idol and worship it elsewhere.
Example Jaganath of Puri. Contrast with wholesale Butshikan. There is something called False equivalences.
She mentions Hindu Buddhist , forgets to mention who burned Nalanda University and had a town named after him

Remarkable new ideas surfaced. Like Bhakti movement. Lol .. read what was Bhakti movement. And a wealth of ideas in scriptures , oral traditions , inscriptions was destroyed. But why let facts get in the way ?
I have written how Bhakti movement was a reaction to the depressing times.

Calling that a new advance due to Mughal rule is like appreciating a kidnapper coz the victim found a way to break open the lock 🤣🙄
Oh is it ? So supporters of Bose , Bhagat Singh , Patel etc who have very good reasons to criticize Nehru are all part of RSS ?

Anyone who opposes NG family is RSS .. informed critism Gaya tel Lene
Hindu rulers did not wholesale destroy Buddhist temples. There is no evidence to say so. Places simply switched from Buddha to Hindu pantheon worship as the population reverted. Many places Buddha statues , viharas , inscriptions still intact.

Buddha regarded as Vishnu.
Thapar fails to appreciate , that a growing number of scholars outside the purview of Left , with no links to RSS who are calling out the fake history that passes off as scholarship in this country.
Yes , some ideologues have gone a bit overboard with the internet and aeroplanes stuff , but , that does not negate the wealth of information that is there in our scriptures. Calculus , astronomy , physics that we now call modern physics , medicine
The Left's treatment of the entire gamut of ancient Indian texts as jokebooks has hurt Indian research. A cure for Leprosy was found from ancient Sanskrit texts by Dr Lad. Ms Thapar does not seem to make a case for including all these when castigating the Sangh
The only place where Upper Castes found themselves were in Clerical jobs , for the simple reason that they could read and write. Yes , most Hindu lawyers and court writers etc were Brahmins bcoz they were literate. They had to force learn Persian , a foreign language.
As shown in some tweets above , the administration had gone to foreign born Muslims. Thaparji does not mention how Caste got more rigid as erstwhile Kshatriyas became SCs and other Lower Castes owing to invasions and ouster from the administration machinery.
As we can see , it is the Liberals who have been peddling myths and calling it history 🤣🤣🤣

#Ironic_title
When you are caught up with bashing Upper Caste and praising Muslim rule for Bhakti movement , Saints like Chokamela Mahar , a low caste person , easily escape attention.
Last lines of article

Pray tell me what is Professional History ? So if I tell something it is not history , since I am not a professional ?

History is history , as long as there are resources to back it. Then she laments how present govt is supporting Hindutva version 🤣🤣🤣
And the photo of Brihadeshvar temple is wrong. Funny how the pic of one of the most famous monuments gets messed up. It is not the Great Temple of Tanjore.
