Teesta Setalvad, of Communalism Combat interviews Professor DN Jha on Dietary Traditions in Early India, the calculated mis-representation of Early Indian and Medieval History by the present government under the direct control of the Sangh Parivar and the ‘dark age‘ of Superstition and un-Reason being promoted by the current political dispensation

D.N. Jha -- The Myth of the Holy Cow

[indizombie]

The so-called Indianisation of history is nothing but undue glorification of “Hindu” India. Having painted the so-called “Hindu” period as “the Golden Age”, the RSS dismisses the subsequent period, the period of Muslim domination, as one of “decadence”. In other words, the “glorification” of “Hindu” period goes hand in hand with the denigration of Muslims. As historians we have long given up calling any period as a “dark age” in history but now we are pushed into another dark age by Modi rule and we have to fight this.
