Why Leftists fear True-Indolgy?
1/N.

Prof. Romila Thapar rubbishes authors like Sanjeev Sanyal who present an alternative view to Indian History as ‘Untrained’. When a history professor from Kakatiya University, Y. Sudarshan Rao was appointed as the head of ICHR,
2/N.

Prof. Thapar and her cronies like Prof. Irfan Habib–had serious objections as Prof. Sudarshan Rao didn’t have too many research-papers published in International Journals, besides the fact that Prof. Rao vehemently supports ‘indigenous Aryan theory; as opposed to AMT or AIT
3/N.

So, for the uninitiated, it may appear Prof. Thapar may perhaps be right as she has published dozens and dozens of papers in reputed international journals. So why exactly Prof. Sudarshan Rao-likes fail to publish as many papers?
4/N.

Peer-reviewed Journals and Leftists.
At the outset, one needs to understand all reputed Journals are peer-reviewed;
5/

meaning any research-paper submitted to any reputed journal will be referred to a select set of individual professors who are registered as subject-matter-experts on chosen subject.
6/N.

For ex: any paper written on Indian history would be referred to a set of Indologists. However, a good 90% plus of such Indologists tend to be Marxists and communists, sometimes disguised as moderate democrats in US or as Labour supporters in UK.
7/N.

The typical examples? Dr. Audrey Truschke , Dr. Wendy Doniger etc..

So, effectively any research-paper with an alternative-view will never see the light of the day.
8/N.

Why so many Historians-Indologists are Leftists?

One needs to go back 70 years + to understand the reasons: As NATO used to advertise during the cold-war, Communist Russia was the only country which came-out of second world-war with a larger area than they originally had.
9/N.

However, NATO could effectively resist expansion of communism to just a few countries in East-Europe beyond erstwhile USSR.

As a strategy, communists focused on two specific areas in NATO countries where they can quickly mold and influence Public-opinion.
10/N.

The first was “Academics” and the second was “Media”. In Academics, Leftists have no interest in Science, and Technology or Medicine.
11/N.

They loved Humanities though; specifically, History. Over a period of time, the left dominance grew so much that the doors in Humanities were closed for anyone who is not a leftist.
12/N.

Any rare specimen with opposing-views who manages to get a toehold is either discredited, tortured or thrown-out. (an example closer home was Prof. Meenakshi Jain)
13/N.

In 2016 a survey carried out by Econ Journal Watch looked at the voter registration of faculty members at 40 leading US universities in the fields of economics, history, law, psychology and journalism/communications.
15/N.

Those of you who are interested in may also refer the sources below:

17/N.

So,

Why fear handles like
TRUE-INDOLOGY ?

Because @TIinExile quotes “Original Sources” extensively and no-one including the eminent historians can deny them without looking like complete fools.
18/N.

So far there was no authentic way to completely debunk the likes of Prof. Romila Thapar and Irfan Habib. Earlier authors like Sitaram Goel had very limited readership.
20/N.

So;

WHAT do the leftists do?

Since they cannot refute on the merits of the content, they attack the individual, they call him names, and denounce him without giving reasons… and somehow hope they can shout-him down.
Thank You True-Indology 🙏🏻 A few more like you, and the leftist eminent historians will be HISTORY!!
