Incurable Love for Muslim Barbarians and Mass-Murderers

When we contrast this with the uncountable tomes glorifying tyrants and barbarians like Ala-ud-din Khalji, Muhammad bin Tughluq, Babar and Aurangzeb, we return to where we began. The standard modus operandi of the Marxist “historians” seems to be to extol Muslim despots and paint Hindu rulers as rebels. Fortunately, numerous Hindu dynasties have left behind records of their reign and accomplishments. In such cases, because ignoring them is impossible, the Marxist tactic has been to completely downplay them. Thus, the Guptas, Palas, Senas, Chalukyas, and the Vijayanagara Empires are reduced to mere footnotes.

It is a fact that the academic establishment is well beyond repair and efforts at reform are hampered by bureaucratic and other obstacles. In the last seventy years, there have been really few instances where serious and valuable work has been done, and whatever little has been done hasn’t reached the so-called masses.

But in a counter development of sorts over the last forty years, some truly exemplary and original work on the history and culture of India has emanated from outside the formal academic establishment. A good majority of these works have been written not by professional historians and scholars but by people who genuinely care about depicting the truth of our past and shorn of ideological or political blinkers.
