If you want to have a good laugh , hear this female out . If you're as serious about history as any history buff is you'd hold your head in despair on what can be described as pseudo history which in itself sounds respectable for these quacks

Meet Rupa Bhaty acolyte & student of the Nilesh Nilkanth Oak school of history which dates the Mb to 12-15,000 years ago & Ramayana to 18,000-22,000 years ago & the Vedas 2 lakh years old , the latter a known charlatan who's been called out multiple times in spite of which he gets invited to podcasts specialising in Dharmic affairs.

As an aside there's a handle on Twitter by the name of Dr Raja Ramohan Roy who's repeatedly debunked Oak with evidence repeatedly among several other people .

Returning to the topic , these are the kind of people who make genuine questioning of theories like the AIT / AMT be branded as either loony or a follower of Hindutva.

And these are the kind of guests popular podcasters like Ranveer Allahabadia hosts which obviously means his team doesn't whet guests beforehand which in turn attracts a viewership of 27 lakhs & counting apart from > 5000 + comments on the video .

Then these half baked ignoramus's go out in the world virtual & real & regurgitate this nonsense liberally adding a few more zeros to the dating.

Be warned I watched the initial 5 min & shut down the podcast .

Meh, i am not too bothered, these type of unga bunga cavemen 'hinduism is 4 lakh crore years old, we are first at everything but also 4 lakh crore years ago' stuff is common to any theory of xyz origination and is seen in the west for the hyperborean AMT peoples (who reject ukraine and put it as vikingstan as the origin of aryan white people and indo europeans etc), same as Chinese ultranationalists etc.

These people are not our direct enemies, they are basically our crazy allies who do more harm than good but still our allies and are best just contained as crackpots than directly attacked in any scholarly way.

Frankly I'd rather we discuss these attempts by Indian born & based historians who've overcome what we've all gone through namely foundational level distortion in our history as taught to us in schools to transcend it & carve out his own path, which we while we ridicule Paxtan's attempts at coming to terms with its own history should also note as to how're we better placed to ridicule them ?


I hope this podcast reaches much more people than intended which is to say that people with little interest in both Tipu & the book on him penned by Vikram Sampath at least view the podcast assuming they won't be buying the book.

What also comes across quite clearly is the transactional spirit of the Hindus which even back in the 18th century was Dhandho Parmo Dharma which some one as astute as Hyder Ali immediately recognises as he calls Hindus a feeble lot not very different from the British description of Hindus being an effeminate lot ( Pranami Gandu & his non violence only underlining their thoughts & beliefs ) & Muslims being the virile ones . Strength has ALWAYS respected strength.

What's more if Tipu wasn't a megalomaniac & indulged in extreme bigotry those Hindus serving him would continue to do so ! What changed the course of events was he brought in his bigoted views to his Court & did away with them .

If this isn't the saddest take away of this podcast , I don't know what is. Plenty of other reveals awaiting those patient enough to sit through 2 hours.

Enjoy !
