I've been trying to learn how to speak Irish and apparently you're not supposed to use colloquialisms. I like saying "top of da mornin' to ya." It says don't do that unless you're in a leprechaun costume.

Cinema vs. Reality: The "Fake History" Trap | Medha BhaskaranÂ
In this hard-hitting second part, researcher Medha Bhaskaran returns to dismantle the "historical" narratives sold to us by high-budget cinema. From the romanticized version of Akbar to the distorted reality of Shivaji Maharaj's history, we explore how movies like Jodhaa Akbar, Padmaavat, and Chava often prioritize a "formula" over documented truth. Learn why real history is more enchanting than fiction and why modern audiences must develop critical thinking to "deprogram" themselves from decades of media-driven misinformation.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: The Myth of "Mahan" Akbar: A look at the documented reality of Akbar's harem, the forced mutilation of young boys to create eunuchs, and the terror caused by his "beauty hunters" in Delhi—details conveniently left out of blockbusters.
The Chittorgarh Massacre: Why cinema hides the "elephant in the room"—the brutal massacre of 30,000 civilians ordered by Akbar under the banner of Jihad.Jodha & Padmavati – Fictional Queens?: The shocking possibility that these iconic characters may be more "poetic imagination" than historical fact, with records remaining unclear or non-existent.
Jodha & Padmavati – Fictional Queens?: The shocking possibility that these iconic characters may be more "poetic imagination" than historical fact, with records remaining unclear or non-existent. Biological Warfare in the 1600s: The terrifying truth of how smallpox was used as a military strategy long before modern biochemical weapons were officially recognized.
The Shrewdness of Aurangzeb: Moving beyond the "savage" stereotype to understand his political brilliance, his use of "legal" trials to eliminate rivals like his brother Dara Shikoh, and his extreme cruelty during the siege of Bijapur.
Distorting the Maratha Legacy: How recent films like Chava trade strategic brilliance for "superhuman" stunts, such as jumping walls that Maratha warriors never actually crossed.
