interesting.

"Very few things are as controversial in today?s India as its history. The
academic discipline now sits at the heart of popular politics, with the
Bharatiya Janata Party and its Hindutva supporters using India?s medieval
past to power its politics.
Into this battlefield rush in writer Namit Arora and India?s most famous
historian, Romila Thapar.
In their new book *Speaking of History*, Thapar and Arora deconstruct what
the discipline means in India today, the role of popular history and why
ideas such as perpetual Hindu-Muslim conflict say more about the present
than the past. In this episode of Scroll Adda, Thapar opens up about what
it has been like being attacked by the Hindutva right for so long and why
she thinks academic history will, eventually, prevail over short-term
politics."
