EP-25 | History concealed Ghori’s, Ghazni’s atrocities; demonized Veer Savarkar: Dr Vikram Sampath

- Dr Vikram Sampath is the author of eight books including two-volume biography of VD Savarkar. In 2021, the Bengaluru-based historian was chosen as a fellow for the Royal Historical Society of the United Kingdom. In this edition of Podcast with Smita Prakash, the young author-cum-historian talks about India's glorious history; the unsung heroes including civilisational warriors. He elaborates how Lalitaditya Muktapida in the 7th century not only stopped the Arabs from entering India but also conquered parts of Afghanistan and extended his kingdom upto Tibet and China. Dr Sampath speaks about the heroic queens Rani Abbakka and Ahilyabai Holkar and explains how the notion that Arab invaders plundered Hindu temples in India only for economic considerations is “bunkum”. He also delves into details about Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan while explaining why Indian Muslims should be inspired by Dara Shikoh and not Ghazni and Ghori. The discussion on the origin and ownership of Mysore Pak serves as a dessert in the podcast.

Vikram has slowly but surely broken the Marxist historians curse. More power to you Vikram!!
Not yet bro. General people don't take the true facts seriously but as RW propogenda. I don't when we will be able to correct all the these issues.
@@shivmohan2982 yes bro but you updated with latest new exhibition archaeologist know about limit of
All Marxist theory about history
Pride to hear Vikram Sampath
No... He didn't yet..... He is a one man army who can't fight alone with Marxist bastions...... His companions are semi literate bjp activist..... He needs intellectually passionate unbaised people...
With time dear, with time. Change of public discourse takes time, but things have started rolling for sure and we would get there in time. All power to the words of VS and his likes.
I am a Maharashtrian. No matter which government was in power in central or state govt., Our teachers never stopped praising Veer Savarkar. The sudden attack on him by Congress is blood boiling. On the hand , many teachers took underhanded jibes at Mohandas Gandhi, in fun way. I am talking about in 2003-2008. BJP is not the reason for Hindutva wave. They are just smart enough to observe it coming and riding it.
Yep!
We need a responsible, visionary far-right party at the national level. BJP is centrist, and is only riding the hindutva wave
BJP is ultimately the reason why we have a Ram Mandir. Accepting it won't hurt your character.
The truth about Gandhi and Savarkar needs to be instilled into all of us. Salute to you guys for preserving the history of a persona like Savarkar. In the North, his mere mention brings about the jibes of bigotry and fascism.
Ya In Maharashtra Veer Savarkar Ji Seen As Always Hero
We Have Poems Of Him Our Text Book
I Don't Know That Chittiya Rahul Who Don't Know Inch Of India History Talking About Him
Being a marathi school student tatyarao was always presented as a finest example of a freedom fighter who sacrifice so much for a country. Our teachers never ever spoke any I'll about him ever. Only this nonsense social media and congress are making stupid statements about him.
"until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter." What a line ✋✋
True, Afghnaistan was never colonized by the British and that's why the true lions Afghans have no printing press, media, railways, roads, parliament, factories, cinema, trained army, ports, legal system and much more. Ghouri and Ghaznavi were Afghans and the true history is unknown to the world. All you have is British advertised history and then in the late 1800's history concocted by Viveknanda, Gwaliar, MahaSaba, Aray smaj, RSS schools of thought, to create friction and unite all polytheists under the umbrella of " Hinduism" and against Muslims. The truth is Northwest ( current Pakistan) always had cultural and trade ties with central Asia ( Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkey) and attacks towards ganga Jamuna ( current India, minus Chinese burmes Tibet states of Northeast India captured by the British and included in India). Kingdoms of the Northwest such as Maurya, Kushan, Dahir etc have always invaded and plundered Ganga Jamuna. Mauryans alone killed 5 million ganga jamnis and destroyed their temples. There was no India before the British and no Hindusthan before Ghouri. All these Hindu, Hindusthan, India etc identities are given by them.
The concept of Bharat is as old as Vedas, Ramayan, Mahabharat . Many shlokas in BhagwadGeeta have mentioned Bharat.
Adi Shankaracharya established four Shakti Peethas in the north(Jotirmath),east(Jagannath Puri), south(Rameshwaram) and west(Dwarka) in the eighth century,
long before the advent of Afgans or British. He revived the Sanatan or Hindu dharma. It is very wrong to state that there was no India before Ghouri or British.
Vikram kind of intelligent persons are the backbone of sanatan culture...they are real gems....respect
not sanatan culture ... its sanatan dharma. there is not only one culture it's a mixture of many cultures so it can be only santana dharma
So proud of you.May Lord Murugan always bless you.Long live the Tamils- Indian race

@@Christopher45074 concocted lies in late 1800's will not last as well as Zoo India created by the British. South Asia is a region like Europe and never natural country. A True historical and or existing sanatana dharma shouldn't have a problem of unity without the British given army. Remove the army and then see. The Chinese Burmese Tibet region of so called North East would be the first one to leave the fake unity.
I knew him. But today I have become his follower. Genuine intelligence combined with humility. India is blessed with such people. ⭐

Kannada industry should come up with a movie or a web series about the Abbakka queens. Being a Kasargodian, I've been fascinated about the queens my entire life. Such fierce women should be always remembered.
100% true. we should know, memorise and remember our great ancestors and feel proud. Not the otherway the British succeeded us Indians to believe - that we are thinking bad about our previous generations

The works of J Sai and Dr Sampath have helped welcome a much awaited Indic Renaissance. A prime time for reinvigorating the splendour of our culture that we've been forced to forget. Propagation and propaganda have never been the tools employed for the spread of Bharat's civilisation and yet you see our traces right from the Baltics to the Far East. A much awaited podcast.
and also Rajiv Malhotra.....and Sita ram Goel in the past....
For me its i cant read books
@@nischesharma you could watch videos though go watch prachayam
J Sai has been thoroughly debunked. His first book is based on debunked literature.
@@yj9032 who did it
Vikram has a BITS Pilani and SPJain Mumbai background. That he chose to tread this path deserves applause. Brilliant work done.
Smita if you are reading this, my heart races when I see the narrow desk. Sometimes I feel the iPad would fell off. Great series ma'am. Please get Ranga sir once (am sure you are thinking).

@@ABhattacharya edit that msg and mention ir laugh. Many including me won't get misunderstood.
A man who insists on not being called a 'Doctor' even though he has a Ph.D. immediately gets my respect. Respect is earned, not demanded.
Being a CBSE student, I can totally relate what Vikram Sampath sir & Smita mam said ....at tht time I also wondered why don't we read Abt our Native rulers & their achievements coz I was pissed off 😒 reading abt Mughals & other invaders...(especially the 7th class NCERT textbook it is total garbage )
I keep a tab on my daughter's book. Pour in her mind and keep on correcting her
Same here. I was a CBSE student. Never did I read about the great Shivaji Maharaj or any native rulers as you said. The knowledge that I had about those great warriors as a child came from the stories told by parents and grandparents.
India,s history is too vast like the country itself. How would one package all of this for a 7 std history text book without making it a tome?
Exactly bro even I remember reading all about Mughals in the 7th class😡
I live in Canada .How can I have ypur book .
Dr. Mita.Saha
Ottawa, Canada
As a father of teenager kids I can say that it is incumbent on all the parents to buy History of South India by K.A. Neelkanth Shastry , History of Sanyasis and India through times by Dr Jadunath Sarkar. History of Satvahanas and Vaishnavism by R.G. Bhandarkar and these days books by Dr Meenakshi Jain on Temple history. Dr Sampath on Savarkar and History of Mewar Maharanas Dr Omendra Ratnu. This has to be done outside their school syllabus. We can do this span of 5-7 years between 10 and 18 years of their age.
You must be from a genuinely cultured background. Modern HIPPIES ?(Hindu Yuppies) know ÑOTHING about Hindu or Ancient medeival Hindu history and dont even Want to know.
That's what I was thinking about teaching my kids the same when I will start a family ....
I feel very grateful to my history teachers over the years in school who really used to have one class every week teaching about the real heroes of bharat
Wow.... which school
Which school did you go to?
You are sooooo fortunate. Thank you to your history teacher.
@@aus2023 it was a convent school from a tier 3 city but yeah I ain't gonna tell the name because the school administration didn't know anything about it ...
🙏 to your teacher.
“Mysore Pak is from Karnataka “ such a nice way of ending such a lovely conversation and prevoking “Anand Rangnathan” for friendly banter ❤
Kamala Hassan is a class actor but a class as a failed as an intellectual but you cannot blame him because his education was upto 2nd STD !
It is highly appreciated that he mastered British language !
A deep sense of pride is what Vikrams book gives every Indian. It's time we know our real history and share with our children.
Absolutely.
WOW!! Didn't expect this one at all. Happy to hear about the indic perceptive of our itihaas and how things really happened..We have been denied our glorious past and always made to belive that we are inferior to the invaders. Thanks Vikram ji for putting India First.
India converted more in recent years than when it had not forgotten it's history and struggle to retain it's religion and culture. India would have not remain Hindu if no one resisted and slowed invaders down constantly.
O. . . . ... ......?
Even being a Kannadiga, I didn't know many things about Karnataka. Thanks Dr. Sampath for such an enlightening talk!
In Karnataka, History of Tippu corrected. People from congress eco system opposed. I hope same in all part of India. One good hope is social media is brining good amount of history back like this podcast.
Dr. Vikram Sampath, Dr. Jaishankar are the rockstars of today
And so is the J Sai Deepak
Jaishankar???! Former ROCK.E.FELLOR employee!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The naivety is astounding

You forgot Sai Deepak, Ranganathan and Rajiv Malhotra.
Vikram is solely responsible for bringing many Historical Facts on public domain in a very structured manner. I loved both his books on Veer Savarkar (2nd one still not completed). Stay Blessed Vikram!
If you didn’t try already, pls give a try to JSD and Rajiv Malhotra ji, Meenkshi Jain ji.
@@vinaytalluri Also Sanjeev Sanyal.
why is savarkar called veer ?
Awesome. I read 1st one half
@@VK-kn3fz you need to read books in Veer Savarkar to understand that.
2 or 3 lines will not be enough to answer your question
What an eye opener !! .. wish the school curriculum changes to reflect the true history of our country.. awesome to see such erudite conversation between fellow kannadigas :-)
To all Kannadigas who purchased champaka taranga and etc kid magazines we know that we actually learnt history more in those mags than in books Abbakkas,Hemu, Lalitaditya,Lachit Borphukan etc were all mentioned here. Kudos to these mags.
This man has singlehandedly changed the discourse in our country. Ahilya bai Holker is a grand figure who's been missing from the front pages of national history books. While many marathi writers wrote books on her , unfortunately she was always portrayed as a "regional" hero. Sampat's work highlights her countribution to the entire civilization.
she was always famous
54:30 Im a Indian Malaysian. There are hundreds of Sanskrit/Tamil words adopted in Malay language. There are some evidence of Cholas' maritime power around thousand years ago in Bujang Valley about 400km north of Kuala Lumpur. Sadly not many are aware or visit this place.
Well said brother
Bujang Valley predate the Cholas invasion, but it has surely seen Chola merchants coming and going, etc. Indianization of South East Asia is something further ancient than Cholas' invasions in the region, but it's true that they epitomise the best the antique involvement of Indians in the Indian Ocean trade, as they're lone thalasocratic power.
I'm coming to Malaysia in August. Which places should I visit other than the Batu caves?
Lembah bujang ( bujang valley)
But travelling takes time as it's in the north.
As a tourist, visit brickfields, one of the little India towns. A lot of foreigners love to go to Genting Highlands.
@@janakyraja4181 Thanks, Raja.
Extremely daredevil interviews by Smita prakash .hats off ,Bravo .pls do not stop this series of interviews with real heroes of india
We need more Historians like Dr Sampath.
It's true that most Post independence Historians like Bipin Chandra.. were more tilted to Left
This man is a genius. His research and his courage to disclose the facts is a revelation.
From Nepal but a big fan of Vikram Sampath. I wish we have somebody like him in Nepal. History to be re-written.
Nepali people's elected communist party
The question is, Nepal even ready to read about history of Nepal before the formation of Nepal by King Prithvi Narayan Shah 🤔🤔
My RESPECTS to Dr Vikram Sampath and his an his commitment to INTEGRITY!
Am so glad to see that I belong to the same Alma mater as Vikram.. soo happy to see him breaking barrierrs..
Every Indian school child - indeed every Indian adult- should see this episode with the incomparable Dr. Sampath. Thank you Smita Prakash for illuminating so many aspects of the book.
What a fascinating story of Rani Abbakka, I come from this part of Karnataka and I didn't knew about it....Ironically I was having mysore pak when u guys were discussing...Jai Karnataka...Jai Hind
Buy Amar Chitra Katha 200+ titles fir starting.
I am a college student, after listening to this podcast I feel so proud of our ancestors but it makes me sad such brave people do not get the recognition they rightfully should get in our history books, I fear that such valant stories of our ancestors would get lost in time without reaching to us younger generation. Sincerely hoping this will change.
you are fully brainwashed. fascists just like socialists are brilliant and can create an epistomology then look through history through that lens then make you their lap dog. when these fascists start attacking non brahmins. then you dirty cowards back out of their epistomology instead of getting killed how they originally planned
I remember when I was in class 8 in the year maybe 1990 or 1991, in our class everybody were discussing about Tipu Sultan's greatness and incidenly in Doordarshan there was a serial about the same man called Sword of Tipu Sultan. Almost everybody in our class everyday were in awe. Nobody were aware of the Hindu genocide in Malarkote ......
Jai Karnataka, Jai Hind. So proud to see three super kannadigas in the studio, along with the Mysore pak. It's a matter of great pride for me that someone as erudite as Vikram is from Karnataka, and also came to know that Smitha is from K'taka too. Wonderful. A really engrossing and enlightening podcast. Wish you can also invite J Sai Deepak next.
Kannadigaru rarajisutidare🙌🙌
South India has a lot to offer to the North.
J Saideepak has already been here...
His mother is Maharashtrian
Sampath's mother is maharashtrian and father is Tamil. Ain't a kannadiga
If stalwarts like Vikram Sampath, Sanjeev Sanyal, Dr. Ranganathan and Rajiv Malhotra had been at that time, people like Tharoor, Bipin Pal and Romila Thapar wouldn't have been the 'experts' they are made out to be today.
People like that were always “there”. It’s only now the sense of nationalism and pride in sanatana dharma is reawakening in the population and these authors are getting their well deserved attention. We can all thank one man for that. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sita Ram Goel and Ram Swarup were there but there wasn't a support system behind them. Today, People like Vikram, J Sai Deepak, Sanjeev Sanyal and many more are there to express the reality because they have got a support system today.

At 71 I am getting know about my history through a few people
I don't have words to convey my regards to this man. Lots of love and best wishes Sir .
We need such historians to write more 'quickie' history books for the younger generation.
Happy to hear the the true history of Bharat. However, no mention of Great Kakatiya Dynasty who ruled present Telangana, AP & some of Karnataka for 200 years from 1100AD to 1300AD till Khilji invaded &occupied . Water Conservation & construction of Shiva temples were given top priority. Ganapati Rudra, Rani Rudrama Devi & Pratapa Rudra were great rulars. They have constructed hundreds of Tanks which are still functioning like Ramappa , Laknavaram & Pakala in Warangal district. Recently Ramappa Temple has been declared as World Heritage Structure by UNESCO. Hope Kakatiya dynasty will get a place in your discussion as both are from Karnataka..
he said he is gonna make more parts of this , it is not possible to have everyone on a single book
In fact he should be requested to write about each state brave hearts.
Rani Rudramma devi is part of book , they coudnt speak of all 15 people
No mention??? Did you even try to gather anything. Nowadays, what is this expectations you have. Should someone spoonfeed you what you wanted to know.
There is lot of work done on finding History of Telangana region that too with very little interest from readers and people who have no interest in history of whatsoever. Nobody reads anything. Still there are tons of books in libraries of Hyderabad.

What a breath of fresh air. Big fan of Vikram Sampath.
Vikram Sampath is a really Great personality for Saviour of Humanity[ Sanatan] and Bhartiya Culture.
Wonderful episode! Thanks to Smita ji for inviting Vikram.
Acharya Chatursen Shastri has written a marvellous novel in Hindi titled "सोमनाथ", elaborating social-political-religious situations of those times. It always gives pain when we hear or read somewhere how Plunderers invaded into not only geographical terroteries of our motherland ,but destroyed the Temples of our deities!
Thank u Sampatji…. For telling real history… Veer Swarkarji is our pride… thanks u so so much 🌹🙏🙏🙏
I studied in kerala state school syllabus and this is the first time I m hearing about these leaders...Yes we had learned about kerala warriors pazhassi raja sri marthanda varma etc but how to make sure state school kids can learn about other states' history??
Unfortunately till communists control Kerala its impossible to see Indic renaissance on school level or government level.. only uprising we are seeing in Kerala is online which still appreciated.
Kerala is on the way towards downfall due to growing influence of communism and Islam. It will take a revolution to bring around the belief that what they’re taught is a set of ideas to whitewash the core history and culture of Kerala.
exactly. if you really go through Mathilakam scriptures you will be shocked and happily surprised to find the greatest diplomats and best warriors from Travancore who were great visionaries etc, but vested political interests will never allow us to learn and be proud of our true legacy. Raja Kesavadasan, Vaikom Padmanabha Pillai, Kuthira Pakshi, Kunjikutti Pillai, Karthikathirunal RamaVarma (Dharma Raja) were some of our Epic greats. Really..just learn about Raja Kesavadasan.. almost in global history we won't be able to find such calibre capable Raajyathanthragna second only to the best ever like Chanakya.
During my younger age I have read about Indian warriors through the books written by regional writers those I used to borrow from RSS libraries.
Searching for appropriate word to appreciate Vikram Bhaiya but failed in finding so. There is no word to praise him. Just my gratitude for his work. May God bless him with good health and keep giving him strength to continue the things he is doing. जय हिन्द 🙏🌺

Jai Karnataka. Jai mysore paaka!!! An Amazing episode, ,🥰
I happen to have read one volume of Sir Vikram’s book on Savarkar. The level of intricacy and depth this text entails reflects his vast knowledge of the indic civilisation and our history in general. We need more people like him on the fore front.
This podcast just raises the bar with every new guest on the show. It's a delight to hear Vikram ji as usual and Smitha Prakash never disappoints us with her genuine questions and informal style of interviewing
So proud of Vikram...my Bschool alumni!! Following your heart into a profession only brings the best out of oneself
Salute to Dr. Vikram sampath for his tireless effort to dig out the glorious past of Indian civilization. Now I am 76 years old, I can only say, so long Indian have been deprived from their own history, result of which we have been projected that we are the rase of loosing mindset. Thanks.
It's heartening and heartbreaking at the same time to finally see the real history coming in the open due to social media and understand the real richness of the indic culture, the invasions and the true contribution of revolutionaries through historians and thought leaders like Dr. Meenakshi Jain, Sai Deepak, Vikram Sampath and Anand ragathan.
Also seeing movies like Kantara becoming mainstream and stirring up the public imagination to get a deeper understanding of their local culture shows there is an awakening.
At the same time heartbreaking and get a sinking feeling that I hope it's not too late for us to truly revive the true Hindu traditions and pass them to our next generations.
So much the humanity / world is and will missing out as a whole if we lose a way of living which has an eternal values system so dynamic with an understanding of the cosmos and which had sustained over 5000 years to be replaced only by Abrahamic ways which are Static, time warped, expansionist and exclusive. There needs to be space for both to exist.
I wish and pray that we are at a cusp of the karmic cycle for the Santatan dharma after 1500 years of attack and the re-emerge brings about the true spirit of Vasudev Kutumb and it spreads across the current volatile world and brings a sense of balance, stability and harmony in the human race.
Big a salute to the current warriors of the Santatan dharma, may they win gloriously ✨👍🙏
Salute to your effort at such a reply covering everything so the ignorant have something to ponder upon. 😊
I heard Vikram sir for the first time today and became his fan instantaneously. Thanks to Ani and Smitha Prakash .

Wow ! Dr. Vikram
He is genius. How he remembers so many names with perfect pronunciation of sanskritised slokas and names .
Why such people are not honoured ?
Smita, Your podcasts are exceptionally good. The best thing appreciable is that you allow them to speak more than you, unlike the mainstream media interviews.
मेरा दिल बहुत खुश हुआ यह इंटरव्यू देख कर. मैं भी हिस्ट्री का छात्र रहा हूँ. मैं भी अपने पुरखों का सच्चा इतिहास जानने का इच्छुक हूँ. बताएं कि संपत जी की नयी पुस्तक पर चर्चा हो रही थी क्या वह हिंदी में भी आ रही है? प्रतीक्षा करें या फिर इंग्लिश में ही पढ़े
Vikram s should be advisor for sst curriculum immediately in NCERT as well as Education min
In our anxiety to prove Marxist Historians wrong, we sometimes cross our lines and become very 'jingoistic' about the past, which we need to avoid! Such a bold statement makes Vikram Sampath one of the most extraordinary contemporary historians who respects facts and nothing else. Smitha Prakash did her best to bring out the book's essence and Sampath's scholarship in this episode. Great content and lessons on the forgotten history of our country.
Right
I consider People like Mr Vikram Sampath as one of our modern heroes.

When cauvery water issue was burning between Karnataka and Tamilnadu, Tamil film personalities staged protest in support of TN govt but Rajini didnot participate for which he was heavily critised..When S.swamy critised that he was not even a Tamilan to enter into TN poilitics ,he declared that he is a more tamilan than Kannadiga since Tamilnadu accepted him. Annamalai , TN BJP head , who is a Tamilan but IPS from Karnataka cadre says he is pakka Tamilan while speaking to Tamil audience but says he is Kannadiga when he addresses Karnataka audience. One of my friend , who is Telugu , born and brought up in TN as his ancestors moved to TN probably during Nayakas period. They speak some kind of Telugu which is neither Telugu or Tamil. But when asked where would be his loyality if there is a problem between TN and Andhra , he says it would be Andhra. It is similar to mother tongue. Many people think that mother tongue is a language spoken by own's mother. But that is not correct. It may be or may not be. The idea is fir anybody the closest person would bevown mother ( with whom he or she would feel most comfortable)
Same way the language to which one feels most comfortable would be the mother tongue. It will be decided only by the individuals. It may change from time to time also .My opion is the loyality, nativity would be decided by the individuals as we only know the social facts but not his mindset..
Finally.. I was waiting for this interview.. Now let's bring Sai Deepak, Dr AnandRanganathan and other Indic historians..
Not j Sai plz. Ranga uncle is awesome.
J Sai Deepak and Dr Anand Ranganathan are great historians with their own unique style of narrating the history.
Sai came yesterday 😊
they are not historians
Loved learning so much about Indian History and also about the Hindu temples! Thank you so much, Smita ji & Dr.Vikram Sampath!👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
Vikram makes me more intrigued, happy and proud of such vast greatness of the Indian History and its people, our ancestors. I hope this small brook that he and others have given birth today will become an ocean of truth for our future generations, and Bharat will once again become the epicentre of truth, justice and prosperity. Jai Hind!
Thank Providence for Amar Chittra Katthaa which also educated me, as I growing up in Kenya, about the Indian heroes.
Love you kannadigas for this splendid effort . 🚩🙏🏻
Vikram you are just great. Hats off to you and many thanks from the bottom of my heart for upbringing our unsung history.
What an wonderful podcast. So much to unlearn and so much learn about my history
Hi Smit ji and Vikram Ji .I am from kashmir and believe me i have never heard of Lalitaditya .There was a passing refrence to Rajtangni and Kalhana in our text books
Hindus NEVER discuss their national Hindu heroes in family conversations they are rhe biggest showiffs of seculRism .whereas mussies Never fail to remind their children that they are muslums first BEFORE being Anything else.
These Muslim invasions were not undertaken merely out of lust for loot or conquest. There was another object behind them. The expedition against Sind by Mahommad bin Qasim was of a punitive character and was undertaken to punish Raja. Dahir of Sind who had refused to make restitution for the seizure of an Arab ship at Debul, one of the sea-port towns of Sind. But, there is no doubt that striking a blow at the idolatry and polytheism of Hindus and establishing Islam in India was also one of the aims of this expedition. In one of his despatches to Hajjaj, Mahommad bin Qasim is quoted to have said :
“The nephew of Raja Dahir, his warriors and principal officers have been dispatched, and the infidels converted to Islam or destroyed. Instead of idol-temples, mosques and other places of worship have been created, the Kutbah is read, the call to prayers is raised, so that devotions are performed at stated hours. The Takbir and praise to the Almighty God are offered every morning and evening.” [Indian Islam by Dr. Titus, p. 10.]
After receiving the above despatch, which had been forwarded with the head of the Raja, Hajjaj sent the following reply to his general :
“Except that you give protection to all, great and small alike, make no difference between enemy and friend. God, says, ‘Give no quarter to infidels but cut their throats’. Then know that this is the command of the great God. You shall not be too ready to grant protection,
because it will prolong your work. After this give no quarter to any enemy except those who are of rank.”
Muhammad of Ghazni also looked upon his numerous invasions of India as the waging of a holy war. Al’ Utbi, the historian of Muhammad, describing his raids writes:
“He demolished idol temples and established Islam. He captured…… cities, killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolators, and gratifying Muslims. ‘He then returned
home and promulgated accounts of the victories obtained for Islam……….and vowed that every year he would undertake a holy war against Hind’.”
Mahommed Ghori was actuated by the same holy zeal in his invasions of India. Hasan Nizami, the historian, describes his work in the following terms :
“He purged by his sword the land of Hind from the filth of infidelity and vice, and freed the whole of that country from the thorn of God-plurality and the impurity of idol worship, and by his royal vigour and intrepidity left not one temple standing. ”
Taimur has in his Memoir explained what led him to invade India. He says:
“My object in the invasions of Hindustan is to lead a campaign against the infidels, to convert them to the true faith according to the command of Muhammad (on whom
and his family be the blessing and peace of God), to purify the land from the defilement of misbelief and polytheism, and overthrow the temples and idols, whereby we shall
be Ghazis and Mujahids, companions and soldiers of the faith before God.” [Lane Poole in Medieval India, p. 155].
Thankyou for sharing ❤️
'Veer Savarkar' by Dr Vikram Sampath is the book we all must read and keep reading. Dr Sampath gives unapologetic, factual insights into the life of the greatest patriot, poet, writer, social reformer, protagonist, dramatist all rolled in to one. Gandhi, Nehru, Abdul Kalam... enough heard and read about them. Time to get to know about real patriots and country builders. That said, nothing is forgivable than to ignore, forget and not revisiting the history. Revisiting is very important because perpetuated fraud can be uncovered. The likes of Romilla Thapar, Irfaan Habib can die of shame and dismay now. How they received patronage from the then State and shined brightly ! What goes back, comes back. Dr Sampath, J Sai Deepak, Anand Ranganathan are now proponents of rising India, true India. May you all bring the lost glory of our motherland back. I only pray for unconditional support from the political establishment and unflinching support from the society at large, especially Sanatan People. God bless.
Abdul Kalam. Really?
Firstly, one cannot thank both of you enough for choosing this topic. It was a supremely educating podcast, an eye opener, an 'awakener' if one may, that needs to be preserved and published in the interest of propagating the countless unrevealed truths of our history and civilisation. An outstanding literary contribution from both a journalistic and a literary perspective. Congratulations! And power be to you. Loved the humour that was naturally interspersed as well. Looking forward to witnessing the 'Mysore Paak' battle with Dr.Anand Ranganathan too!
He is the best no argument about that. So calm totally killing left with his kindness
More power to Vikram and for what you are doing✌️
Vikram Sampant, you were amazing. Looks like I will have to develop reading habit only to read the true history of bharat that I am much fascinated and proud of.
Wonderful podcast. Although her name was hinting of it but I was not sure, she is Kannadiga. South has preserved Indian culture and pride now it's time to spread it all accross India.
its not south has preserved people of north fought against invaders and prevented invaders from entering south and looting like they did in north
And sir, women are *Kannadathees*, men are *Kannadigaas* !!!
Big Big fan of Dr.Vikram. Glad you bought him here! Thanks a ton Ani Podcast
Wow!! New to this channel today...and to already see discussions with Vikram, Sai Deepak, and Anand Ranganathan!! This channel is a treasure. Every Indian should absorb!!
Would request to conduct such podcast in Hindi instead of English which is not our language but astonishingly we are elaborating and bringing our history that had been concealed from us by our own educated people...
Not everyone can understand Hindi in India dear :)
Kashmir was the pinnacle of traditional knowledge, Kashmiri Shaivism contains knowledge straight from Adiyogi Shiva himself.
People like Vikram Sampath, Sai Deepak and others are boon for ur country and ANI is a medium through which positive change can take place. Thanks ANI for making these people all the more vocal. 🌻 Jai Hind 🇮🇳
OMENDRA RATNU , PUSHPENDRA KULSHESTHRA, ANAND RANGANATHAN
Vikram sir's books are so great to read and thankyou for mentioning North East. It's like we are always ignored no matter many international medals come from hear, during calamities very few national news speak. The Ahoms were so great, humble , defeated such a large army of Mughals yet there's not a single mentioning of them in history books in school.
ANI shouldnt stop the truth only upto the english understanding section of Indian society....
ANI pls dub also this podcast in all major Indian language.. .so that every citizen comes to know the real history
Big fan of vikram sampath!!!
Have watched almost all his interviews in last 2-3 years
This podcast i have seen like 4-5 times
We need more people like him, j sai, sanjeev sanyal!!! Hats off
It’s almost like Smita ji prepared for tenth history 😅 Vikram what you are trying to get done is remarkable. May god strengthen your hand and may there be many more like you who will tell it as it happened.

Hearing this I feel I was robbed of the truth and I know who the robbers were. Excellent discussion.
I’m a fan of Dr. Sampath… Thanks a lot Smitaji… what an eye opening discussion …. Hopefully episodes with Anand Rangnathan & J Saideepak will be there soon😊😊
