Future Should Learn from Past - Manu Pillai | Historian & Author | At Algebra Conversations.

- A young, hyper-talented storyteller whose first book won him the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar in 2017, and whose knack for bringing alive the past is winning him acclaim all over the country.
Manu Pillai may have an entirely Macaulayesque education - including at the celebrated King’s College in London and Fergusson College in Pune - but his passion for the little-known story and an exceptional eye for the hidden historical detail along with a penchant for revealing - and often undiscovered - anecdotes makes him a force to watch, a historian who is as gripping a storyteller as he is a devoted researcher.
In a candid conversation with this articulate young historian and author, we talk on what the future can learn from the past, whether history is more fiction than fact, and the dangers of forgetting in Past Forward.

This guy is a pure GOLD 🥇
Manu... people like you should be aired on radio, brought to schools for guest lectures, to colleges so that the coming generation and the contemporary generation can rise from the venomous discrimination being instilled in them.
ഇത്രയും സമ്പുഷ്ടമായ സംഭാഷണങ്ങൾ മലയാളത്തിലും കൂടുതൽ ഉണ്ടാകേണ്ടിയിരിക്കുന്നു.. മനു കേരളത്തിലെ വേദികളിൽ ഇനിയും കൂടുതൽ എത്തട്ടെ എന്നാഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നു.. Thankyou Algebra Conversations and Manu S Pillai.. and of-course to the wonderful host.
Please talk about mapillah massacre too
"We can laugh at our own culture when we're confident" .. what ya mature statement!!!... I wish we have such scholars in other domains as well
The last 10 minutes were the best. The way he explained why to Learn from history was magnificent.
Manu basically is a Gem of a person.. Do not carry any baggages from the Past and his international exposure.. positions him in a perfect vantage point to observe, analyse, introspect and write... More Great things are expected from you.. Age has NO bearing at all in what you do.. This country has unnecessary kept AGE as an entry barrier for many productive things..
Age is nothing.. I as a kid always was sad about being treated as a child( and hence worthless to listened to) and getting no respect at all.. Even now at the age of 40 that feeling haunt me
What an eye opener! I'm not in to books but I definitely have always had fascination for history, and as the author said, wanted to know the genuine history and not some distorted version.. Looking forward more from you Manu. Thanks!
Here after all his malayalam interviews...all those interviews gave so much information ...and I was also looking for the dhathri/savithri story for a long time...dint get that in Google or any platform...how beautifully that story was explained..thanks manu✌️✌️
Manu Pillai must be a "Corona" showing us our place kicking out the vanity and hypocrisy we have built around us. We need many more Manu Pillais to liberate us from the clutches of Manusmritis. I loved the way you presented your research and I have bought all of your books.
thank you so much keep showing your love
@@ALGEBRAtheClub Sure, I will. Thank you.
You did hit the nail perfectly.. All the best Tony Cheruvathur.. From some body not that far.. Kanhangad.. Actually
@@dineshkumarsnair7964 Thank you Dinesh.... I am sorry if I have misled you about my place of residence.... I live in Chennai though my native is Thrissur.
I am in awe by the way he tells a story 👏👏. Man , I am a fan ,.
thank you so much keep loving
2 down 64 drial is dadd kkess board
With this kind of knowledge, articulation and best sellers under his belt, he is like that archetype college guy with guitar ! History hottie ;D
If we want to know us we must get in touch with our past. Mr. Pillai is a great narrator. I told my niece to read "The Ivory throne". She is fond of history. Me too like history.
I'm a huge fan of history, very curious and keen to know the real history. Now I have found a real historian. Please publish more and more books on history . Big fan of you 🙂
We fight over things that are irrelevant .. wow.. goosebumps.. pristine history..
Absolutely yes!
I think, Manu has incredible understanding on history. He has achieved a good focus.
I think the quout in flash screen can be
"Future should learn from past for not to repeat the history"
I wonder widd in sdord span dis man get enough k nowledge ddn previous kisdorians acdually kwo is prevending know ledge
It is such a pleasure listening to this young man!Lot of takeaways!
Oh! What an insightful talk! Manu S Pillai is really a gem!
#metoo anecdote is simply amazing! Manu you are a genius!
Magic conversation..
Manu is simply awesome.
Future seems to be learning all the bad things from history and we seem to be moving back to the dark ages.
Future... Learning... Badthings.. From History.. Is a brilliant way of looking out..
Great hearing Manu Pillai ...History being politely justified
He is soo articulate
Great listening to you 👍
Very interesting to listen to him
First the Indian politicians should get schooled by this gem of a guy and then the citizens
😂❤
Loved his book 'The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore.' 👌🏼👌🏼 I suggest to everyone.
Really impressing.
Wow!This guy,💫🐐
Excellent talk! Always eager to hear Manu S Pillai's interviews!!
What we need is excellent work in all walks of life in India. We were listening to great talk for a couple of centuries. Learn from 20/20.
Wonderful knowledge 👌he is a genius in history. So history is not a dry subject, there was a life with all strength and weakness
Many Pillai is my absolute favorite 💜
keep loving thanq
a very good one.
Beautiful
I read ivory throne is amazing book.

Well done my friend. I read many books on Dadrikutty & Travancore royal family. I am eagerly waiting to read ur books.
thank you :)
The host is very articulate too.
Amezing
Manu has pointed out a correct picture of present day India and its in securities which makes its present ruling dispensation hyper nationalists and nonsecular in approach..
Shivaji nephew Tanjhavur king : refreshing perspective !👌👌👌👌
Yes
I don't know what to say, History is a boring subject to me so far, you know what, I love history now..more than that I like this guy !!
If he tell people stories like this, Nobody can leave and I wish this interview was much longer.
History continues to be a boring subject for majority of the youth . Thanks to our educational system ... the way subjects are thought , it cannot create passion or interest unless there is a materialistic gain (like better profession, appreciations etc..)
History does not repeat itself, history merely resembles itself.
Very good
How can one meet you man.. ??? Great knowledge .. and a time machine ....
💎
I doubt, history ever repeated anywhere in the world!!
World war, economic depression, pandemic. Etc..
The context is the the way of occurrence will be different but end result will be same
👍
The Abyssinian Slave Dynasty of Bengal, started by Barbaq Shah after killing Sultan Jalaluddin is short lived but remembered in lieu of tracing the beginnings of the Bhakti saint : Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Those who learn in the very life, dont need to be taughted. Me too did not happen because some women read the history and found it could happen. They just acted upon what should be done heading their own very gut.
Is there anywhere online we can read the the play ‘satidhana surumu’ or is it in Saraswati mahal archives?
Krla....tradition.....😮
Alima......rst s history
After Reading The Ivory throne...
29:29😆😆
Wow!!! 🤩
Not dhatri it’s thathri
Kym.
Nla
I gt it
He is a good storyteller and Historian. But When I follow his twitter , he only tend to share The wire news only. I don't understand how a historian is following only one new channel and sharing their feeds.
Confusion !! Intellectuals are only following one news channels and sharing feeds.
sharing only one channel's views doesn means he reads or follows only one!
@@Liza-fu6cz I didn't say so . Read it carefully and think as you wish.
@@TheVichu006 what do you mean you didnt say that? The end sentence of the comment you wrote literallysays “intellectuals are ONLY FOLLOWING ONE news channels and sharing feeds”. The other person commented sharing one feed doesn’t mean they ONLY FOLLOW one channel. The comment was actually directly answering your confusion.
@@ireneab6349 I'm not judging but I wonder!!. Question arise in me. If you want think that I mean so, its your liberty !!
I know what I think and what I wrote and convey.
In North India Media can not troll ruling party or say against it but in States like Kerala Media can speak against anyone without fear
Please invite Mr. Vikram Sampath.
Presence.......hpynss....mm....slwly....tuns into lv or atchmnt
Nt tht.....interacting to smbdyelse
"Future Should Learn from Past" funny words coming from a person named "Manu"
Maybe u find it because ur from Maharashtra.....in Kerala it's just a usual name....nothing to do with manusmriti
So if you want to end caste stop putting casteist lens on everything & end caste specific laws. Highlighting an identity by using legislation only helps in elevating the barriers around identities & never resolves them.

Casting out the caste system
Eventhough this man still carrying pillai . Historians may Portraits now some events which may happens in future from the lessons frm Past.
I follow you for your Passion of Researching history with its Great Details…But the Point you made that you belonged to Savarnna Caste was Bull shit ..You belong to A slave Caste Or Shudra Caste i.e NAIR.. No Offence !!
What is pillai
Those who are taughted are not necessarily learned. Those who do not learn from their expriences, they rather repeat the same deep mistake what power obsessed people acted upon blinly from history books. Those who close their eyes on the pain of others the very around himself indeed he learns nothing.
Commie historian 😄
This guy has spoken about some practice followed by ruling class and landlords, to uphold their superiority in public. This are not very important topics for historic studies. These are misdeeds patronised by many small kings and their courtesans. I mean it has nothing to do with our Vedic tradition and practice.
Some are Merrily drawing parrels to the present government.
Don't get swayed by the misdeeds of some so called royal families, as our sanatan tradition.
If you dig up there are numerous stories of atrocities, are they of any value, as a study material in mainstream history books, is not advisable.
A very ordinary chat. Nothing noteworthy shared. If Indians think he's extraordinary, I just pity you guys. Go and learn the real history.
What is real History? Rewriting it in 2023??
