In a rare Twitter exchange between Irfan Habib and a fellow twitteratti exposed the real side of the Indian historian. There was a tweet by a twitterati on how Islam is a religion of violence and their holy month of Ramzan represents the time most sacred for Muslims to kill non-Muslims.
But the notorious historian commented on how Ramazan is also a month where Muslims were also killed by Jihadists in large numbers and that it’s not just kafirs who are getting killed.
The article argues that this was a rare display of the historian’s underlying Islamist bias, usually obscured beneath Marxist terminology in history writing.
It then criticizes the disproportionate coverage of Islamic dynasties in Indian history textbooks while the Cholas, Marathas, Vijayanagara and other Hindu empires receive less attention.
The article concludes by asking what the BJP government is doing to correct what it sees as an injustice against Hindus in the education system.
