The anonymous @TIinExile focused only on history has brought scholarly rigour even to SM & is hounded everyday for the same.

He's expected to live upto high standards of scholarship & speech ALL the Time.

Those using SM to enhance their personal & professional clout are not!
Everytime TI brings something that is unpalatable or contrary to what the masses and/or scholars believe to be true of History,he is HOUNDED.This,despite him always maintaining that his take is based on the primary sources he's read/examined. People're free to ignore.Aren't they?
Why is it important to prove HIM wrong instead of proving WHAT is right? He does not tweet on ANYTHING that is unrelated to history; does not pander to the RT, Like, Follower culture that most of us here are not uninfluenced by.
Pls dig all tweets that you can find to prove that he is human & can lose temper.And yes,feel free to overlook his patience & humility with those who engage sans bias/agenda.All of it proves that his intelligence is human and real. It ain't AI as you desperately want it to be. :)
How are his old tweets sans context relevant to the recent polite, almost reverential engagement that TI had with a scholar. Why deviate from the actual interaction where the older person could not take the facts or the heat of SM and left? But if that is how it is,let's explore!
TI refuted a claim about history shown on DD. A mature response from DD/the anchor would be that it would be checked and if found incorrect correct facts would be shared as any public broadcaster should.
TI provided FREE research, BTW!
Instead the DD anchor tried to use this to somehow show that TI's contention was incorrect because he does not know Sanskrit. Goes on to show he does not know TI!
Anyway, when he realised that he was on shaky grounds, he threw in his friend as the primary source & vanished!
The moment TI insisted upon a primary source, saying why he thought that scholar friend can't be a primary source, the anchor & another guy pounced upon this opportunity to corner TI. 2Ms threw 1S in the field to settle personal scores!
History was relegated to the background!
It was all about ego trip for 2Ms, little realising that for TI, history is important. When the scholar rightly asked the reasons for TI's views, TI respectfully shared his reasons & also DMd him politely. ALL of it is available on open TL. Yet, S chose to leave; it is his right.
The question about primary source is still unanswered. What need to be asked is this? WHY did 2M cook up this concoction that TI forced him to deactivate? We have all witnessed what 1S said and how he behaved before deactivating. So these lies won't stick.
Hence, these personal allegations against TI, motive attribution and the worst -doxxing All for WHAT? Winning an ego battle?
Thanks for showing us how one should not conduct oneself.

All this against a young man who gains NOTHING from spending his time,money, energy selflessly.
Pls get a life and get some perspective.
People keep constantly preaching humility,speech, manners & what not to TI, without realising what goes into every tweet of his!
And yet, in addition to other foes,Hindu/RW ppl are out to doxx/harm him.
We won't last 24 hrs in his shoes.
