How leftist/Marxist Indian historians have distorted/perverted Indian
history
Prof. Konraad Elst rips into Ramachandra Guha (the left-wing
historian) and all strength to him!
it's only in india that a chronicler of a silly game is able to
transmogrify into an 'eminent historian'. the quality of indian
history writing is so low that it qualifies for the term 'bowel-
movement history'.

Ah, he knows about the radical self serving revisionist history it
seems.
M. Ranjit Mathews
"The radical self serving revisionist history" seems to imply that
there is only one radical self-serving revisionist history. If many
historians write on a particular topic can at most one of them be
radical, self-serving and revisionist? In particualr, would you say
that Ramachandra Guha's history is neither radical nor self-serving
nor revisionist?

No, more then one can be. As in most things there is a bell curve for
such things where both tails are inhabited by the radical revisionist
types. As for the person mentioned, based on what I have read of his
thinking he tends to be in the fat middle of the curve.

The above quote is not Konraad Elst's, in case
someone is misled into assuming so because it is
right above the address to Mr Elst's blog. I personally
have the highest regard for Mr. Elst, who has been
objective throughout the Ayodhya debate.
However, the author of the "bowel" blog is partly
correct. To refute his assertion I submit that India
has produced first class historians in
the past, such as Sir Jadunath Sarkar, R. C. Majumdar,
Kali Kinkar Dutta, Ishwari Prasad, B.B.Lal (exactly not
a historian but archeologogist) and many others.
On the sociological side an author I have grealy
admired is G.S.Ghurye, whose classic work "Social Tensions
in India" is prescient of troubles that await India. These individuals
were true intellectuals, who produced
works of great value. Self-styled historians like
Ramchandra Guha is not fit to sit in that class.
Unfortunately, the trend in writing superficial
works in history began with pseudo-historians of the
Nehru variety, who spawned a whole bunch of Sarkar (government)
supported sycophants, passing themselves as historians.
Justice Agarwal has done the nation a great favor to
by exposing the intellectually incestuous relation
among these 'approved' bunch of thugs.
I usually buy a book on contemporary Indian history
if I see one. I passed over Guha's book after a short
perusal, because it is just a haphazard narration
of events in post-independence India, and lacks critical
analysis of events.
