Those who don’t read History are condemned to read WhatsApp forwards. On the occasion of Independence Day, let’s talk about how to approach our our past, and how to make sense of it. Today we discuss two books that recreate that past out of multiple sources, and give us a baseline to build on.
This is episode #15 of Bookasur, talking about a legendary Tamizh king, an annoying-endearing Hindi song about history, and how feedback from friends should be handled (by ignoring most of it).
Books featured:
Plassey, by Sudeep Chakravarti, published by Aleph.
The Illustrated History of South India, by K A Nilakanta Sastri, published by Oxford University Press.
