We see 'scholars' & 'influencers' trying to glamourise lives of tawaifs (dancing girls) in India. A major argument presented is that they were respected & 'elite' families sent their children to kothas to learn etiquettes. A lot of these people themselves belong to the…

As I have pointed out in earlier tweet, facts should be correct after that you can argue whatever you like. The article by Dilip Mandal says, 'There was no census in 1941 due to World War II.' No, ThePrintIndia in 1941, Census was held. M. W. M. Yeatts was the Census…

I don't know how people still believe that what happened at Meerut in 1857 was a sepoy mutiny & not a mass uprising. People still claim that the revolt was limited to north India while the British records, which are public, tell you a different story.
There wasn't any section of…

British government propagated in 1857 that the Indians had raped European women. The reports were proved wrong by the English enquiries yet many Indian scholars still believe the narrative. I try to dispel the lie on the anniversary of 1857.

There are more nuances to this Rema Nagarajan
It starts at 1951, a census which isn't accepted for its correctness because of the partition violence & migration. Kashmir was completely left out & migrations couldn't be completely recorded. Census report mentions all this.…

मैं यह मानना चाहता हूं कि यह दिलीप मंडल हमारे सोशल मीडिया वाले दिलीप मंडल से भिन्न हैं अथवा यह फोटोशॉप है। बसपा और कांशीराम को लेकर जो कुछ कहा गया है उससे तो समाजवादी पार्टी और भाजपा भी शायद परहेज़ करे। कोई रौशनी डालेगा?
