Sir, please shed some lights on shaiva siddhantam , and that these shaiva siddhantha noolhal (books) predates Vedas and are later taken and mixed and vedas produced by Aryans from Europe. And that shiva only belongs south actually, not mount kailash (yennaatavarkum iraiva potri, thennaatudaiya siva ne potri), If you have books or speech on this, pls kindly direct me to that. I don't believe in ARyan Invasion theory, but am confused about shaiva sithantham.
@@bharusiva477 "Vedas produced by Aryans??" Are you serious?? After all 2500-3000 odd archaeological excavations, across Indo-Pak border, proved scientifically as well as historically that Aryan Dravidian theory was a false propaganda...u r still propagating it!! This is a REAL EXAMPLE OF "COLONISED MIND" !!!!!
At the region near 3:44 , you said she only applied logic and rationality to hinduism and not any other theology, like the Quran and Bible. But in the clip you showed, she did not mention Hinduism at all. The only phrase she used was "Mythology", which I think is a more general term. Was this a mistake from your part or was the part of the clip where she applies this this on Hinduism mistakenly removed?
@@bharusiva477 the word Aryan itself is tamil word. It is found in books like manimekkalai. Aryan means pious. Dravidian means geographical south. Aryan invasion is lie. The British propounded Aryan invasion theory to divide north and south. Today congress dmk dk doing the same job of British. That's why Rahul Gandhi always runs to UK. Rahul Gandhi's UK name =Raul vinc
@@Shiva-pu8nb Lol, RSS Vidya Mandirs provide education to poor kids. Not only basic education but along with moral teachings, patriotism, family values, the essence of Bharat etc. and not some imported colonial idea to look at this country from the perspective of an outsider colonist rather than a native. People who pass out from there live normal lives and not become a jehadi.
Huvishka Οοηϸκι , this jihadi who calls himself Shiva, will not understand all this. A jihadi does not have any sense of nationhood, only muslim brotherhood, that’s what that warlord Muhammad taught them, and that’s what they are taught in madrassas.

"English speaking ppl fascinated Nehru and hence they were given the responsibility to set the TONE in newly formed INDIA!! Hence we, as a nation, DEPARTED from BHARATVARSH!!
Nehru himself was a jihadi and so had a vested interest in disinformation of Indian history so in the name of the correcting the historically anomalies jihadis supremacy could be established.
The problem is there is no intellectual Hindu base to counter Thapar and Habib. Works of Sitaram Goel ,Konrad Ekst and Ram Swarup can be used as reference to counter them
I am doing history hons from du..trust me all they teach us is muslims were not bad..not invaders..they glorified..hindus had no past..not a single paper on shivaji..even rajputs in light of akbar..they portray rajputs as defeated warriors who lived at the mercy of akbar..and the overall course is structured in a way that justifies the entire muslim rule and specially aurangzeb
The lady sitting opposite to Prof Romila Thapar and nodding is Teesta Setalwad, who is a converted Muslim going by Hindu name. She took lead in targeting Narendra Modi from 2002 onwards. Birds of same feather flock together.
Her jargon may have been revised , but Thapar 's vision of Indian history exactly conforms to that of the 19 th Century European Coloniser .That she still flies is proof that the Establishment mind is colonised .
When someone go through her books ....one can find various secular statements (pseudo secular)...and narration like fantasy stories. But what actually someone misses the most is credible proofs and references. Thank you RAJIV SIR ...for this effort...
@5:16, Rajiv Ji says, "While personal bias is not there...". Even this is not true. We all know that we have our biases. This is precisely the reason why one should eagerly look for objectively testable data in proposing their claims and then of one's own initiative, encourage others to critique them (claims) - brutally and logically.
Romila Thapar "Curriculum should be designed by solid independent historians" means by Urban Naxal gangs. But same Romila Thapar interviewed by Teesta setalvad , is Teesta historian. Might be Romila wants yes Madam interviewer

Shudra does not mean that you are thinking its meaning is... Ya I agree with you that she can be put into ASURA category as well.... So I would say that she belongs to a Asura Shudra varna because even Ravana was a Brahmin Kshstriya Asura....... By the way we dont CASTE System at all.

Superb deconstruction of Romila Thapar's views in easily understandable language by Shri Rajiv Malhotra and pointing out the inaccuracies such as the dating of the Vedas and subtly equating it with Aryan myth.
Am 15 years old and wanna be a historian but the distorted history which i had been studying in school days makes me very sad.! Thank you rajiv sir for enlighten me and all indians.
Superb Sir, not just because you are laudably unbiased, and extremely crystal clear, but my sense of admiration for you is in the back drop of the fact that I have all along been a history student of Delhi university, having thoroughly read madam Thapar and all that left liberal bibliography, during my short stint in JNU too. I have even attended classes of Romil Thapar there in PG.But now that your remarkable clarity has shattered my misunderstanding of history for good. I am a fan of yours. Shall love to have your DARSHANA. Regards.
Here Mr. Malhotra is basically critiquing Thapad on the ground that her methodologies are western and contain certain aspects that very closely related to western ideologies. Now, none of these are valid critiques, in the sense that, there is no case by case analysis of how they are inappropriate to situations where they are being used. Just because an ideology is western doesn't particularly mean that it is wrong and can't be used in an Indian context. I just think that the critique is highly unsubstantive and isn't worth the attention it is getting. And also the way he critiques somebody else's bias is by pushing his own political bias in the arena.
She brought up lord Mahavir... I mean, why? When did lord Mahavir said Veda s r not good? He took his own path to moksha and he taught people what's the right way to achieve moksha. He / Jainism never criticised any Dharm.
11:08 she is not saying that Vedas are texts belong to 500-400 BCE But in 500-400 BCE there are strong opposition towards the supreme authority of Vedas...
Thanks Rajivji .Great analysis and rebuttal to these so called defunct pro colonial intellectuals wishing and talking hard against the concept of Bharat that is not India. You may not decolonize her but at least the one way dialogue is over.
Rajiv sir has put in lot of effort to cut open the truth and answer point to point Which is very helpful to understand the truth Its so humble of Rajiv to come down multiple steps to expose Romila Thapar who is nobody compared to what you have achieved and your merit
Romila Thapar and Rajiv Malhotra observations on History is apt and appropriate at this hour. History is under enquiry or rethinking in a very serious way. Modern Ideologies and political institutions can not constrain or influence History as History has a great role in Human Relations and behaviour.
Rajiv Sir, I am currently binge-reading Indra's Net and Being Different simultaneously. The ignorance/cunning with which Prof Thapar is juxtaposing Veda with Hindu Arya, along with opposition by Buddhists and Charvaks is all the more frustrating, because these very pages lie bookmarked next to me. Her timeline is seriously messed up. How are Vedic texts originating in 4th century BCE? According to her "logic and rationality" , she wants to say that the late-Mahajanapad time gave rise to Vedas??? She's just gathering an ignorant and dumb audience, who she knows will never question her, and pretends to be a reservoir of historical "understanding". These are fantastic points you are exposing sir. Eagerly waiting for the next part!!
Outstading analysis. Rajiv ji you have demolished her theorie and understading of history. I have myself been a student of history and sociology... and you are right, our understanding of social sciences has been purely of Western origin and most of the historians in India had been agenda based.. love your critique 🙏🙏
When will Modi Govt. utilize such talents for creating new Indian indigenous ecosystem of history, universities, media, and judicial system? If you cannot make it in 10 years, then don't complain about Nehru and leftists. It's your fault and Hindus will suffer immensely in the future.
Great work Rajiv, your age has not held you back to really correct the persuasive thinkers who are interpreting to distort Hinduism [and you were spot on that Bible and Koran ].
Rajiv ji,this the best you did, to break the topic in short multiple episodes.This will encourage more people to watch it.

Her scientific causation would shatter one religion into innumerable pieces when it is asked to prove 1)flying horse 2) travelling to heaven back n forth in a night 3)stamina of 30 men packed into one man etc..,
Absolutely bunkum. Marxist historians use not Objective Criticism but Dialectical Criticism which means its basically a subjective choice of what you would criticize and what you wouldnt and apologize. Malhotra's Infinity can easily highlight that Selective critique not only in her own but all the ' autonomy' appointed scholars's works. For example , Thappar and her 'autonomous' scholars would bend facts to do a apologia of the Sacking of Somnath Temple by Mohammad Gazhini not because that lacks objective Chronicles as to motive of the invader which was Islamic Expansionism and Iconoclasm. The invasion could also be contextually connected to a historical continium in say Isis atrocities and sacking at Nineveh Iraq Romilla and her comrades would instead call that straight read of history as Binary. Or Edward's Orientalism.. But Marxist historians of her kind like Irfan Habib would go to absurd lengths of Negationism and white washing of this very straight scientific reading of that history. The autonomous Marxists would try fit a square peg into a round hole of explaining everything within four walls of Class Struggle and then conflate that with Caste struggle. They are indoctrinated and political historians, not scientific historians.
Kudos to Rajiv Malhotra. He has clinically exposed Dr.Romila Thapar who is an authentic "Macaulay-putri- Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect”. She and her cousin Karan Thapar have inherited the bad genes from their paternal grandfather - Kunj Behari Thapar - who sided with the English colonial forces and supported the Jallianwala bagh massacre. For this loyalty , Kunj Behari Thapar was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1920
No wonder history never inspired majority indian students to pursue this subject further. We barely felt proud of it! These folks (being critiqued here) are culprit of the way history was presented to Indians. What else explains why we are not proud of our long rich historical past?
No wonder Indian history is distorted by this lady who has obtained her doctorate from the UK based university which will never give actual evidential facts about India and ancient Indian history. Great talk/work by Shree Rajiv Malhotra to unveil the facts about her work.
Thapar applies the western categories of relying on doxa or personal bias that is not accepted as truth. The Aristotelian logic never questiona the premises. No Ms Thapar you have no know;edge of Indian philosophica;l thinking and thus is totally incompetent.
Agreeing on "understanding of history" and stretching that argument to say that it should "my understanding" of history from the most authentic text is a very valid argument. The only issue is how far can we stretch this as not everyone can do his/her own research to "understand" history
Prof Thapar shall answer: how she can be both biased and rational at a time? Is it at all possible? A rational creature is always ready to change and accept better and higher ideas, but will a biased, like her, be ready to do these things?
Good interpretation by Mr. Rajiv Malhotra of what historians like Romila Thapar actually got wrong or misinterpreted. I too believe that aside from distortions in history due to it being written from the victor's viewpoint, historians add their distorted view in the name of "understanding" of historical events, to suit / promote their narrative. The classic example of how historians like Romila Thapar and Ramachandra Guha painted an exalted image of Mohandas Gandhi and his protege Jawaharlal Nehru at the expense of everyone else, including equally tall leaders like Sardar Patel or Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. This was to pander to Congress regimes which (like Mr. Malhotra rightly says) patronized such historians to further their own agenda and narrative about history. History written by such 'historians' is like propaganda. No wonder we don't have a single foreign historian's work available in India of what controversial leaders like Mohandas Gandhi or J Nehru were. Some such books remain banned in India since Congress' regime decades ago. Ironically, Congress and its cronies like Romila Thapar and R-Guha who whitewashed much of modern Indian history to suit Congress' narrative, have been of late complaining about biased works in Indian education system since BJP has been in governance since 2014. As Mr. Malhotra says, the biases and distortions existed earlier and exist today. Nothing has materially changed.
Sir i am one of your many admirers...but as you gave your opinion about history. Its understanding and the interpretation....you didn't mention your opinion on whether or not elitist universities should have autonomy or not...what would your stance be on this subject matter?..
Great Work sir Rajivji, the way you taken point by point of Bullshit history of Romilla Thapar so called historian self made and by Irfan Habib another such historian shame on them all concocted history we have been hearing this since Indian Independence. Entire India is with you this country need a rational critique like you. God bless you.
Critiquing Romila Thapar by Rajiv Malhotra (RM) is important because she wields influence far exceeding her merit, and may be that is the reason she has carefully avoided debating RM.
You are no less biased...go and refer to Jain texts ...Jain also believe to be Aryan race...they also talk about arya khand...jain religion is as much Indian and sanatan as hindu religion..
She needs to defend her credibility or else her books that have been prescribed in the academic curriculum would be termed as fiction. Life gone waste.
As a sikh hearing her say this really pissed me off. My gurus were treated wrongfully by the mughals. With respect to my gurus not gonna say what they did. Hindus were oppressed. They came to one of my gurus to help save the Hindu dharm. She's a sell out like gandhi. She probably supports the 1984 incident agansit sikhs. Bharat has been under attack for 1000 years.
Sir, I follow you on TH-cam and learnt a lot from your VIDEOs. Recent marriage of Sakshi & Ajitesh in UP and Sakshi’s father UP BJP MLA Sri Rajesh Mishra’s act against this inter cast marriage shocked the nation. Surprisingly leading newspapers and BJP leadership has not taken any action against MLA till now. I strongly believe person like Rajesh Mishra is also part of breaking India forces. Because of this kind of people conversion in Hindus are more. Though cast in Hinduism is not berth based, but even then why this discrimination! Please be vocal against this incident and host an episode to destroy the cast system in our religion. Good wishes.
Rajiv Ji, I think you have made a slight mistake around 11:00 where you say that Mrs Romila Thapar said that Vedas are dated to around 4th-5th century BCE but that's not what she said. She simply said that around 4th-5th centuries BCE, there were people like Buddha , Mahavira and groups like Ajivikas who were opposed to the vedas. The dates of 4th-5th centuries BCE is given for such Nastika/heterodox sects.
Rajiv ji living in USA for many decades and his accent is still sounds Indian. But Romila ji already sounds like a British lady just living there for her study. Romila ji is elite.

Teesta Setalvad also sat on board to decide ICSE curriculum.
In what "professional capacity" , one may ask???
She brought up lord Mahavir... I mean, why? When did lord Mahavir said Veda s r not good? He took his own path to moksha and he taught people what's the right way to achieve moksha. He / Jainism never criticised any Dharm.
11:08 she is not saying that Vedas are texts belong to 500-400 BCE
But in 500-400 BCE there are strong opposition towards the supreme authority of Vedas...
Thanks Rajivji .Great analysis and rebuttal to these so called defunct pro colonial intellectuals wishing and talking hard against the concept of Bharat that is not India. You may not decolonize her but at least the one way dialogue is over.
Agreed, in fact we had been taught crap in the name of history in our schools.Today i feel i read all wrong stuff, actual history is something else
Rajiv sir has put in lot of effort to cut open the truth and answer point to point
Which is very helpful to understand the truth
Its so humble of Rajiv to come down multiple steps to expose Romila Thapar who is nobody compared to what you have achieved and your merit
Love to watch your lectures, Sir.
Thank you Sir😎
Excellent analysis...
Thank you Sir, for enlightening the nation.
Romila Thapar and Rajiv Malhotra observations on History is apt and appropriate at this hour. History is under enquiry or rethinking in a very serious way. Modern Ideologies and political institutions can not constrain or influence History as History has a great role in Human Relations and behaviour.
Loving the series,,dispellsso much confusion. Next thought thatch could decide things such as history for myself! Wow
You have thrown her credibility to where it belongs - rubbish bin !! Hats off to you Rajivji..
Rajiv Sir, I am currently binge-reading Indra's Net and Being Different simultaneously. The ignorance/cunning with which Prof Thapar is juxtaposing Veda with Hindu Arya, along with opposition by Buddhists and Charvaks is all the more frustrating, because these very pages lie bookmarked next to me. Her timeline is seriously messed up. How are Vedic texts originating in 4th century BCE? According to her "logic and rationality" , she wants to say that the late-Mahajanapad time gave rise to Vedas??? She's just gathering an ignorant and dumb audience, who she knows will never question her, and pretends to be a reservoir of historical "understanding". These are fantastic points you are exposing sir. Eagerly waiting for the next part!!
Outstading analysis. Rajiv ji you have demolished her theorie and understading of history. I have myself been a student of history and sociology... and you are right, our understanding of social sciences has been purely of Western origin and most of the historians in India had been agenda based.. love your critique 🙏🙏
When will Modi Govt. utilize such talents for creating new Indian indigenous ecosystem of history, universities, media, and judicial system? If you cannot make it in 10 years, then don't complain about Nehru and leftists. It's your fault and Hindus will suffer immensely in the future.
Multiple Indian generations have suffered tremendously and have been victims of Romila Thapar and people like her. BUCK STOPS HERE - NOT ANY MORE
Thank you Rajeev Sir, I am waiting the day You will have debate with her.
Great work Rajiv, your age has not held you back to really correct the persuasive thinkers who are interpreting to distort Hinduism [and you were spot on that Bible and Koran ].
Rajiv ji,this the best you did, to break the topic in short multiple episodes.This will encourage more people to watch it.
Her scientific causation would shatter one religion into innumerable pieces when it is asked to prove 1)flying horse 2) travelling to heaven back n forth in a night 3)stamina of 30 men packed into one man etc..,
Absolutely bunkum. Marxist historians use not Objective Criticism but Dialectical Criticism which means its basically a subjective choice of what you would criticize and what you wouldnt and apologize. Malhotra's Infinity can easily highlight that Selective critique not only in her own but all the ' autonomy' appointed scholars's works. For example , Thappar and her 'autonomous' scholars would bend facts to do a apologia of the Sacking of Somnath Temple by Mohammad Gazhini not because that lacks objective Chronicles as to motive of the invader which was Islamic Expansionism and Iconoclasm. The invasion could also be contextually connected to a historical continium in say Isis atrocities and sacking at Nineveh Iraq
Romilla and her comrades would instead call that straight read of history as Binary. Or Edward's Orientalism..
But Marxist historians of her kind like Irfan Habib would go to absurd lengths of Negationism and white washing of this very straight scientific reading of that history. The autonomous Marxists would try fit a square peg into a round hole of explaining everything within four walls of Class Struggle and then conflate that with Caste struggle. They are indoctrinated and political historians, not scientific historians.
ROmilla and her comrades would instead call that straight read of history as Binary. Or Edward's Orientalism.
Kudos to Rajiv Malhotra.
He has clinically exposed Dr.Romila Thapar who is an authentic "Macaulay-putri- Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect”.
She and her cousin Karan Thapar have inherited the bad genes from their paternal grandfather - Kunj Behari Thapar - who sided with the English colonial forces and supported the Jallianwala bagh massacre. For this loyalty , Kunj Behari Thapar was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1920
Namaste rajiv ji I think there should be episode for decolonization of hindu temples also.
Great work sir...
each of these should be viewed in billions.. everyone concerned should see these videos..
No wonder history never inspired majority indian students to pursue this subject further. We barely felt proud of it! These folks (being critiqued here) are culprit of the way history was presented to Indians. What else explains why we are not proud of our long rich historical past?
Hello sir I know you due to true Indology and lots of thanks for this meeting.
No wonder Indian history is distorted by this lady who has obtained her doctorate from the UK based university which will never give actual evidential facts about India and ancient Indian history. Great talk/work by Shree Rajiv Malhotra to unveil the facts about her work.
Thapar applies the western categories of relying on doxa or personal bias that is not accepted as truth. The Aristotelian logic never questiona the premises. No Ms Thapar you have no know;edge
of Indian philosophica;l thinking and thus is totally incompetent.
RT has good language and position. Lacks sincerity and honesty.... serious bias in her understanding of hindustans history
Good to expose Thapar's hypocrisy.
Agreeing on "understanding of history" and stretching that argument to say that it should "my understanding" of history from the most authentic text is a very valid argument. The only issue is how far can we stretch this as not everyone can do his/her own research to "understand" history
Prof Thapar shall answer: how she can be both biased and rational at a time? Is it at all possible? A rational creature is always ready to change and accept better and higher ideas, but will a biased, like her, be ready to do these things?
*Wow....seriously, if history is understanding the past then new history can be created every day*
Good interpretation by Mr. Rajiv Malhotra of what historians like Romila Thapar actually got wrong or misinterpreted. I too believe that aside from distortions in history due to it being written from the victor's viewpoint, historians add their distorted view in the name of "understanding" of historical events, to suit / promote their narrative. The classic example of how historians like Romila Thapar and Ramachandra Guha painted an exalted image of Mohandas Gandhi and his protege Jawaharlal Nehru at the expense of everyone else, including equally tall leaders like Sardar Patel or Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. This was to pander to Congress regimes which (like Mr. Malhotra rightly says) patronized such historians to further their own agenda and narrative about history. History written by such 'historians' is like propaganda. No wonder we don't have a single foreign historian's work available in India of what controversial leaders like Mohandas Gandhi or J Nehru were. Some such books remain banned in India since Congress' regime decades ago. Ironically, Congress and its cronies like Romila Thapar and R-Guha who whitewashed much of modern Indian history to suit Congress' narrative, have been of late complaining about biased works in Indian education system since BJP has been in governance since 2014. As Mr. Malhotra says, the biases and distortions existed earlier and exist today. Nothing has materially changed.
Sir i am one of your many admirers...but as you gave your opinion about history. Its understanding and the interpretation....you didn't mention your opinion on whether or not elitist universities should have autonomy or not...what would your stance be on this subject matter?..
Sir, very proud of you.
Desperately waiting for your critique on Hegel.
Great Work sir Rajivji, the way you taken point by point of Bullshit history of Romilla Thapar so called historian self made and by Irfan Habib another such historian shame on them all concocted history we have been hearing this since Indian Independence. Entire India is with you this country need a rational critique like you. God bless you.
Critiquing Romila Thapar by Rajiv Malhotra (RM) is important because she wields influence far exceeding her merit, and may be that is the reason she has carefully avoided debating RM.
You could have just said
*KARAN THAPAR = ROMILA THAPAR.*
Hindus are smart to understand
You are no less biased...go and refer to Jain texts ...Jain also believe to be Aryan race...they also talk about arya khand...jain religion is as much Indian and sanatan as hindu religion..
She needs to defend her credibility or else her books that have been prescribed in the academic curriculum would be termed as fiction. Life gone waste.
Thank You very much!
As a sikh hearing her say this really pissed me off. My gurus were treated wrongfully by the mughals. With respect to my gurus not gonna say what they did. Hindus were oppressed. They came to one of my gurus to help save the Hindu dharm. She's a sell out like gandhi. She probably supports the 1984 incident agansit sikhs. Bharat has been under attack for 1000 years.
It's a great channel.with precise research
Sir,
I follow you on TH-cam and learnt a lot from your VIDEOs.
Recent marriage of Sakshi & Ajitesh in UP and Sakshi’s father UP BJP MLA Sri Rajesh Mishra’s act against this inter cast marriage shocked the nation. Surprisingly leading newspapers and BJP leadership has not taken any action against MLA till now. I strongly believe person like Rajesh Mishra is also part of breaking India forces. Because of this kind of people conversion in Hindus are more. Though cast in Hinduism is not berth based, but even then why this discrimination!
Please be vocal against this incident and host an episode to destroy the cast system in our religion.
Good wishes.
Rajiv Ji,
I think you have made a slight mistake around 11:00 where you say that Mrs Romila Thapar said that Vedas are dated to around 4th-5th century BCE but that's not what she said. She simply said that around 4th-5th centuries BCE, there were people like Buddha , Mahavira and groups like Ajivikas who were opposed to the vedas. The dates of 4th-5th centuries BCE is given for such Nastika/heterodox sects.
Rajiv ji living in USA for many decades and his accent is still sounds Indian.
But Romila ji already sounds like a British lady just living there for her study.
Romila ji is elite.
If sure if not now in future she will be remembered and dark evil of this land
