So many problems with this tweet, but for starters what public sentiment are we “out of touch” with? Islamophobia? Misogyny? The normalization of racial slurs in political culture? Intolerance of healthy critique? I wouldn’t touch these “sentiments” with a bargepole.

She's a STEM major class president at MIT. She's certainly no moron, and probably smarter than the many emotional middle-aged men who call her names.

Snippets of a review of the current “best seller” in Indian history category. What the reviewer calls unfortunate oddities, infact reveals the author’s lack of understanding & engagement with scholarship invested in decolonising history.

NCERT history textbooks on the Delhi Sultanate & Mughals are back in news, so are the mindless 🤯TV debates & op-eds on the topic of history writing and fact slinging about temple destruction, jaziya tax, brutality of Muslim rulers. 🧵 on an alternative framework

Something needs to be said about the continuous cycle of putting out translations of the same authors over and over again by Indian trade publishers – new editors, new dust jackets. All mouth and no trousers when it comes to 'expanding the frontiers' of our literary landscape...

Overconfidence with which Mr Pant has been spreading misinformation abt Mughal food history is infuriating, it feeds into false narratives abt the period. Platforms must also exercise caution.🧵my published work Mughal culinary knowledge & food practices that debunk his claims.

Mesela tarih yazımı illa ve sadece politik söylem üzerinden şekillenmiyor her zaman. Bazen, tarihçilerin kendi kullandıkları tarihsel metodların da kaçınılmaz ve öngörülemez sonuçları oluyor.

Very reminiscent of what Cemal Kafadar called the 'lid theory' of nationalism — identities being seen as eternal and undying, thrown into a sealed jar for centuries under a 'foreign' power and then springing out unchanged generations later

A historian on meghnad (Nerds ka Parivaar) 's podcast claimed that the British were the 1st to use the term Mughals and how Akbar distanced himself from his Mongol legacy.🧵on why this assertion is rather simplistic and misinformed
