- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2018
- Manu Pillai may have an entirely Macaulayesque education - including at the celebrated King’s College in London and Fergusson College in Pune - but his rigorous research and an exceptional eye for the hidden historical detail makes him a force to watch. In Rebel Sultans, Manu trawls through 400 years of roiling history and tells some pivotal stories of India you’ve probably haven’t heard before, with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra Club.

Algebra takes the idea of a club - a universe of the likeminded - and expands it to new paradigms. The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
Algebra - the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged.
Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us. For more, click HERE:

I could listen to this man forever
I would kill myself if I had to.

The way he is observing our ancient culture and history i think no one can have such a wide thoughts.
He is young and his visions are broad and strong.
sister.. you are mistaken... he is behind some propaganda..
He has a propaganda...it seems to be communism
@@2432768 ohh,anyone talking about both sides of coin is having some propaganda...wow,and what about BJP spreading with it's hindutva.. same thing what communists did by bashing hinduism and congress by appeasing Muslims..these bloddy politicians are betraying us not this young, promising author.
What a great conversation. It is a delight to hear Manu Pillai every time. He makes history so interesting. I could listen him for hours non stop.
Proud of Manu Pillai. What a beautiful articulation and fluency in English! God Bless you!
He studied at Kings college, London and Ferguson Pune. No wonder at all.. And was managing Dr Tharoors office at Delhi.. till 2014..
അണ്ണാ നിങ്ങള് പൊളി തന്നെ😀👍
Maloo ji
Read his 1st work 'The Ivory Thorne'... Brilliant work.. Expecting the same here too..
THE IVORY ' THORNE ' THORN , THRONE, THORAN ! ======= MATTS'
Politics, pragmatism, greed, and power are the motivational forces of current day political parties of India as well. We must realize religion is just one of their tool to divide and rule us. Whether it would be so-called Hiduvita propagated by BJP or minority appeasement politics led by Congress.
history should not judged based on ideology, its should be based on objectivity. Manu Pillai makes accurate facts which have been corroborated by other writers like for example malik amber the African mercenary who fought against mughals and he infact was hated by jahangir. there is famous mughal painting where prince jahangir seen targeting malik amber head with a bow.
@bhanu prakash, his details may well have been corroborated, but they also betray the subterfuge in his narrative! Sadly, this new kid on the block seems to suffer from exactly the same problem as his boss and his ideological co-travelers do! *He is struggling to draw false equivalences between cultural assimilation and brutal invasions and tyranny to establish that Moghuls were as much of Indians as the Hindu rulers were!* Funnily enough, he cites the fact that the _Pallava_ dynasty brought one of its heirs from Vietnam as a case in point! *What his subterfuge is trying to hide, though, is the fact that the Indian civilization had a profound influence on Vietnam and that the **_Champa_** civilization was an offshoot of the Indian civilization!* Then he asserts that Kerala did more trade with the Middle East than north India! So what if that was the case? Isn’t it natural for a nation that has a geography that is as vast as India is to engage in trade with nations that are more accessible to them than its own remote parts??? *This new kid on the block is trying to do nothing different from what his boss and his ideological co-travelers have done all these decades: try and gloss over, whitewash, and even eulogize the brutalities of Islamic invasions and the tyranny of Islamic rulers on the Indian population!*
*Will he demonstrate the intellectual honesty to write the true history of **_Mapplia Lahala_** that was unleashed in his own state of Kerala in the disguise of the **_Khilafat Movement_** and how the district of **_Malappuram_** became a Muslim majority district? Will he demonstrate the intellectual honesty to write the true history of Tipu’s invasion of Kerala and the brutalities he unleashed on the Hindu population of Malabar? His boss has never dared to utter or write a word about these facts of history!*
@@PrashantNambiar read the mahabharat as to what aryans did to you sshudra dalit comverts who happily se it as your on history

Manu s pillai after mgs narayana,a sreedhara menon you are the writer who write studying history and analysing historical materials from kerala
World is more complex that's true.we must look the context and don't take sides ,after all we are human and must seek and explore ourselves.
A history documentary could be made on this information that Manu Pillai introduced us.
Amazing insight, Manu!

To me also the same, he explain the word of history, where rajas and British play the role of human and else to the world of past, the history of travancore in the past footh of muds lands in today's world.
Does Sanjay Leela Bhansali or the so called historical directors would make a movies based out of his book?? Looking for that.
I wish you to be the most honest historan of India. Your name may be written in golden glittery as an Indian historian. All the best.
shanavas thazhakath
, so any so-called historian who glosses over, whitewashes and even eulogizes the brutalities of Islamic invasions and the tyranny of Islamic rulers must be a great historian. Right???
never shanavas bai,,,he will be the dishonest historian ever
Nice talk.
Good. Proud of Mr Manu pillai
Vijayanagara empires relation with the Deccani sultans is totally different today when we listen about them as Hindus Vs Muslims there were even marriages between both the kingdoms

Manu ❤️🌹
certainly he is belongs to Romilathapper,panicker,irfan habib kind of school with extra ability like MT vasudeven nair who gives us Chandu a brave man
yes, very true. LEFT HIstorians and people are praising him, people are lazy ignorant and westenized.
Very much interested in Muslims and Hindus history of rulers Hope is also know about Indian history of Ramayana and Mahabharata

What a talk
In his young age I wonder how he write this book

Sufferings...... inevitable 😮
that indonesian did not commit any wrongdoings against the indigenous culture so obviously he is not foreigner
To the anchor, was the Clash between hindu and Muslim, wasn't it Indians and mugals. How prejudiced and biased speaker.
We don’t live under a rock - we watch Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies . Which is how we know kings intermarried and had self-serving loyalties all through history. But what about common people? We are not products of the ‘grand confluence’, are we? Such stupidity at force-fitting!

People like these are needed in India now than ever
How can someone in his early 30s have so much of historical knowledge.....??.....amazing....!!
He has access to materials via libraries where ordinary folks cant go.. He has honestly confessed that he was able to lay his hands on treasures of archives through Dr Tharoors efforts.... Then... He is Sharp, intelligent and NOT AN AVERAGE INDIAN..
Oo edanalle eksyi
I am surprised Shivaji is being portrayed so. Jadunath Sarkar never says so. Shivaji wanted an Indic-centre power structure, not Persian-Islamic centric world order. It was never ever a narrow Hindu consciousness as some would want to present.
Nivedita Mishra but Jadunath Sarkar said about Shivaji killed More of Jawli kings via his Brahmin Ambassadors
Pallava vallava kimbu
Nt inclusion.....broader meaning....think...

The History what we have learned was distorted and biased without doing justice to fair presentation of facts, cause and actions. All this time it was meant to propagate the political, economic intellectual interest to any major cult. In due Couse it mirrored the views of the colonial British, the Nehurvain socialist and utopian leftist and extreme rights and fringe groups.I believe this charismatic young guy have to guts to recreate the history as such it had happened without compromising on its chastity. Thank You are opening the new window to look back to the flamboyant panoramic view of history with out that old glass of prejudice.
After so long I find someone talking so sensibly along with being unbiased and prudently critical...you must read Sanjeev sanyal's books and of g.d bakshi's Bose or Gandhi:who got India her freedom
Tomorrow this man will say that the Britishers were good because they introduced railways and infrastructure to Bharat
Your next book should be about Alexander the "great".......
First book he wrote by references in british liabraries and collecting reference from Royal Family.
29:06 Suratrana (IAST: Suratrāṇa, सुरत्राण) is a Sanskrit word that has been interpreted to mean either "protector of gods", or a transliteration of the Islamic word "Sultan" into Sanskrit.[1][2] The term consists of two words "sura" (सुर) meaning "deva, gods, deity",[3] and trana (त्राण) meaning "protect, preserve, defend".[4][5][note 1]
Now that we know this why does he keep saying that the word Sultan has been appropriated, maybe not here but in the podcast I was listening to.
Is this guy some weird kind of leftist fraud?
We want the truth not your fucking annacdotes.
This is too nuanced and fact-based for the likes of Shiv Sainiks. You’re turning their world upside down.
Wonder why this lady and her other colleagues are out to paint the Islamists as great people….all leading questions, terribly biased…
I swear..... you can break stereotypes all you want, but at the end of the day we want the truth.
Next urban naxal inter breeding child shit as all other urban naxals
23 :50 don't do bakawas bro
It looks as if he is trying to show exceptions as the rule. One Saraswati-praising sultan does not erase the fact that majority of the Muslim emperors wanted to convert India from a "dar-ul-harb" to "dar-ul-islam", and that about 8 CRORE non-Muslims ( Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs etc) were butchered in the process. (according to historian K. S. Lal).
It seems that he has neither studied islam nor hinduism. He is good with details but fails to interprete history due to his knowledge(or lack thereof) of religion.
@Sona SK I do not need to. Like most of the Indians, I do not and cannot emphasize with communists and leftists who try to pull a wool over people's eyes by playing the "minorities are only relevant" card.
the root of the problem is. Though Hinduism is inclusive some powerful castes made it into an exclusive royalty which is still being played out in various hues and colors.
7:00 plz don't spread fake history😠😠.and please say Sri chatrapati shivaji maharaj,this man's knowledge of history is laughable
Ye bazaru itihas ka gyan hai
The name of the book itself betrays his motive - Rebel Sultans : The Deccan From Khalji to Shivaji - Khalji was never a "Deccan" sultan. He was always a "Delhi" sultan, and he used the Deccan only used for looting and replenishing his treasury. As for he branding Shivaji as a "sultan", it's utterly laughable and is clearly a rhyming trick (khilji - Shivaji). Shivaji always wanted to establish a "Swarajya", not a "Sultanat'.
Have u actually read the book or just applying ur logic from title. From Khilji to Shivaji signifies time period not entitlement for Khilji and Shivaji as Sultan.
@@waseem15280 ohhhh.. How profound!! So you mean to say that tomorrow if I write a book called "Rebel & Communist Kerela : From E. M. S. Namboodiripad (who called Gandhiji a" hindu fundamentalist ") to Manu Pillai" it will be obviously construed merely as a reference to the time period from the mid 20th century to the current, right ?? Lol..you do have a good sense of humor, man..
India's share of world GDP before Mughal invaders came: 32.54%
India's share of world GDP by the end of Mughal age(1820 ): 16%
The common Muslim argument is that India became the richest country in the world all thanks to the mughals.
Educate yourself✌
by 1820s the marathas had taken over most indian provinces. that is why it fell. before mughals, it was sultans who were ruling you people
@@soheil527 Maratha rule barely lasted a few years, they were replaced by the British. Mughals were as bad as the British if not worse.
You really sound like Shashi Tharoor...., 😛😛
He is working with Dr. Tharoor
Sadly, this new kid on the block seems to suffer from exactly the same problem as his boss and his ideological co-travelers do! *He is struggling to draw false equivalences between cultural assimilation and brutal invasions and tyranny to establish that Moghuls were as much of Indians as the Hindu rulers were!* Funnily enough, he cites the fact that the _Pallava_ dynasty brought one of its heirs from Vietnam as a case in point! *What his subterfuge is trying to hide, though, is the fact that the Indian civilization had a profound influence on Vietnam and that the **_Champa_** civilization was an offshoot of the Indian civilization!* Then he asserts that Kerala did more trade with the Middle East than north India!

*Will he demonstrate the intellectual honesty to write the true history of **_Mapplia Lahala_** that was unleashed in his own state of Kerala in the disguise of the **_Khilafat Movement_** and how the district of **_Malappuram_** became a Muslim majority district?

His boss has never dared to utter or write a word about these facts of history!*
true true, the new kid on the block and even his boss is from Nair community and still they do not even say a word about TIPU who murdered nairs and other hindu communities of malabar. If the new kid on the block write true history without any biase then he would never be this famous and would be very tough to make money and his true history would be either banned or regarded as communal and number of readers and buyers will be low and he would also not able to make money and live a western lifestyle. The New Kid on the block speaks good english as his boss, people judges on their language skills and it is disappointing that many people in our country regard him as true historian and readers who doesnt read much history just picks up a book on history from "history" book rack from bookstores dont even do much research to understand about the authors intention and goals and just read and give him such a good review saying
the book has changed my life" "it brought me into history " "It is my first non fiction book and it is bthe best " "teaching me alot outside my shcool syllabus " and blah blah. Only casual and ignorant and white washed readers reads such history.
They are also lazy to do right research, He and his boss are influenced by left historians and white british historians who wrote on India and hindusim. They are knowingly writing such shit as disrespecting our countries history, defaming us and hindusims. Whatever the hell. Anwyay
Very disappointing.
Sadly a young talent is wasted on writing popular history, If he trying hard in the same way to move towards the true history, he would take years to compelte and he would not be this famous.
All are interpreting history in their own way.. what to do. New paanapaattukal
Unfortunately, you are brainwashed by the crooked, fascist right wing Hindutwa ideologists..
@@abhimenon801 populist history ? In the current Indian ecosystem , i think he is giving an unpopular version of history .
This is brushing the Islamic terrine under the carpet
So why dont you counter him on facts. Research backed and reliable sources based facts
Why dont you come with your points man instead of hatred venom? Stop your crap please. We are sick.

Read him and bark after
he was grown up in Pune, and work with Sasi tharoor😀
First read about him and his talks before blabbering
Wow, Hindavi swaraj is not about religion. Insult out intelligence as in your every video.
This guy wanna propagate an anti-hindu line through his so called books...For that, he re writes history as per his interest !!
Nthng else
But he is a hindu. Why dont you agree with facts or admit it. I know you has a stigma to accept it we can understand that

Keep crying, HINDU RASHTRA is evolving very well.
Manu your skills are great.. but don't waste that for some propaganda..
Another failed effort to prove that how good Muslims ruler were. But Indians are not going to buy this arguments anymore
Deepak Saroj Where did he do that ? He is just highlight some historical facts that are not talked about much. Don't be so biased in your view of history.
@@jaiku99 well sir though he is providing new light on Muslim side of Deccan history Nd their relevance which is of I'm not against but wht I'm against is justifying their seemingly religious based atrocity. Many ppl say that Shivaji also looted sum temples Nd all that but the fact is they didn't force anyone to any religion Nd also their acts. Show me one instance of Hindu kings who forcefully converted their subjects in medieval India
@Syed Ahmed lol the whole punjab,bengal was converted ...Sir kya chahiye
@@Hum_Bharat_Ke to destroy ur bubble chhatrapati shivaji maharaj is my idol his grandfather was general in malik amber a muslim king who was slave before and shivaji himself had muslim personal body guards some muslims were tyraany rules but some were good,in kerala kochi muslim traders fight against Portuguese at same time hindu zamodrin king supported Portuguese becoz of trade and management
@@shawnmicheal9638 those muslims traders were arabs who gained immensely having monoply over indian goods with respect to europe....nd if u had read further later zamorin turned against d same Portuguese when they demanded trading monoply over his port against arab , chinese , africans nd Javanese traders.....nd I'm not saying that every muslim ruler were bigot or artocious but d fact tht these liberals author while ever readily givin sermons to hindus to ignore atrocities by muslim rulers as just sum particular case....while propagating d idea tht luk how gud these muslim ruler were which they were not . So no matter how hard they wud try to convince Indians who can now read nd themselves make their mind about any historical instances wud not be see history from any other lenses no matter if they r sum White brits or pseudo US intellectual or brown -English bred Indian authors
