Museums like the Smithsonian have mounted shows on the Spanish flu, but Indian museums show no drive to document, collect, or preserve India’s Covid story.
The ministry has issued SOPs that bar use of audio guides, unless they can be disinfected after every use, and require mandatory sanitization of premises and wearing of masks.
Historical facts take a backseat when you have gods on display. And it’s not just the babus in National Museum, museums struggle with religious artefacts world over.
India’s foreign policy today is driven less by Western alignment or global liberalism and more by domestic political imperatives — economic, ideological, and electoral.
Electronics—specifically smartphones—& energy & pharma products make up 30% of Indian exports to US. 25% tariff on India came into effect Thursday, extra 25% to kick in by August-end.
Very good argument, all Leftists and activists should now start digging Indian history with honesty, please research and publish the violence Islamic Jihadists committed On Hindus and how Tipu sultan became secularist even after killing millions of Hindus and Christians and forcefully converted them in to Islam ,but at the same time Maratha peshwa is called Traitor for fighting against British , because less then 15 Dalit mercenaries ( who participated willing on war with fellow Indians) fought alongside of British against own Indian king !! How Aurangzeb became great king !! Lot to dig !! Please do that work comrades.
Donot forget Indian partition by Indian Muslims and wiping of Hindus and Sikhs on Pakistan side , but Muslims were allowed to live in secular India , finally some history on Kashmir Hindu genocide
The author conveniently forgets to say ” Studying Muslim rule in India without mentioning the plunder, conversion and molestation of women” while she remembers Manu.
The author is a dishonest fraudster. Look how she deliberately omits the whitewashing of the islamic invaders in India, their brutality towards Hindus and the blatant falsification of the Indian history by the islamo Marxist cabal of her ilk. She does not have the basic honesty or the moral courage to speak about the cultural genocide committed by her friends in India, but she has the gall to talk about everything else. I like Macron for daring to poke the eyes of the wokes and the likes of Rama Lakshmi. As for the tyrant Tipu, we should openly and loudly talk about his atrocities and brutalities towards Hindus so that we don’t let such things happen to us again. Here is the bottom line. Rama Lakshmi is ok with the possibility of her descendents getting converted to another intolerant faith by force or get killed or raped if they refuse to convert – because for her it is just the course of history and you can’t call it “good” or “bad.” Whereas we, the nationalists, want to learn from the injustices and brutalities of the past and make sure that we will not be weak and will not let that happen to us again. You decide which side you want to be on. History is not an academic exercise for us. It is about learning lessons and protecting ourselves.
The tone of this article is biased. There is clamour for unverified good news? Don’t we know what is passed for research among the academics of humanities subject? Anyone can write a completely illogical, nonsensical essay for Ph. D as long as it shows a bias for something subaltern, a leftist ideology and pillories up some people (Men, Whites, High caste Hindus, etc.) as a common enemy. A very little portion tries to apply the same tactics against Muslims, African religionists, etc. Example, the Hindu scholar Rajiv Malhotra. But all this is pure bullshit and does not add an ounce of knowledge to humanity.
Some academics will try to show how Marathas were not communal while omitting their letters and writings which explicitly talks about marching up to Constantinople. Another group will try to show how Jinnah regreted partition, although he let the Hindu and Christian minority go without rights in Pakistan, another will try to show Patel as a Hindutva leader while forgetting that he banned RSS.
Real Historians, social science scholars are only a handful minority among all these so called scholars who vomit essays and research papers full of words like cultural appropriation, new historicism, cultural materialism all of which amounts to nothing in the real world.
Excellent piece also because it opens a discourse not usually touched nowadays. Wish someone would pick up the baton and look at slavery as an Arab and south Asian practice too. Both have a far longer experience than the transAtlantic trade.
Very well though out piece of writing. Appreciate idea to present the history as messy but not a binary of nostalgia or sadness.
