Charu, yes. many academics are utter low-lives. I used to think it was mostly JNU, but it has infected, over time, even IIT Madras' humanities area. and we've seen how they are over at Harvard. these are not people interested in epistemology, they are just mouthing some 'study classes' in communist theory.
The unspoken undercurrent of your eloquent article is the tale of deracination of the Hindu people who have survived & even prospered (though I would defer to Katherine Mayo on the latter) materially, but inhabit a collective psycho spiritual void, thanks to a millennium of systematic subjugation.
The denialists (a polite term for brazen Big-Liars) are an emergent phenomenon of this intricate vacuum that has been woven into the collective Hindu psyche.
I would look for the answers in a new branch of Indic colonized psychology that is waiting to be created for this purpose. Fanon is obsolete and irrelevant for us.
so you really think Hindus have been (irredeemably?) damaged in their psyches by 1000 years of conquest? you could say the same of Jews too, I suppose. but the very act of survival requires certain 'adjustments' (perhaps a sort of self-taqqiya?) to live to fight another day. my conjecture is also that the very material progress (that you sort of dismiss) is the antidote to dhimmitude. once you, and your nation, have economic and hence military power, things look vastly different, and it may not need a new sort of decolonization psychobabble: as in all nouveaux-riches/parvenus, money brings a desire for justification of one's past, belief system,... in a word, exceptionalism. simply put, pax indica leads to indian/Hindu exceptionalism. wealth is the answer.
"These same Leftists were later exposed as charlatans when they testified in the Supreme Court. One JNU ‘historian’ had to confess she had never even visited Ayodhya. Another had to admit under oath that she had lied about witnessing the excavations: records showed she wasn’t there when the evidence was unearthed. Yet both had pontificated loudly. And today there’s another JNU PhD who floods Twitter/X with half-baked theories, notable only for sheer chutzpah." Sad, and a blot on the name of being an academic. Honesty is paramount when we deal with knowledge. These people should be tried in 'public' court. No one should be able to mess with facts like this again.
