    Guha is an historian? When did an untrained public intellectual become a historian? It's sad that we label every person that can write flowery Socratic words on history as historian. It really insults the decades of study and dedicated hard-work (field work, textual analysis, manuscript analysis etc.) of real historians.
    What's worse is we treat a Doon school grads who grew up with deep political connections as authoritative historian.
    No wonder our politics is so ridiculous, we keep labeling charlatans as experts in their adopted fields.

    Intellectual elitism at its finest. It's amusing to watch these people complain as their hackneyed narratives about India unravel. Vandana's bias was immediately apparent from her first question. She should study Shekhar in OTC with Vikram Sampath to learn how it's done.
