His work includes the biographies of the infamous ‘Gauhar Jaan', the forgotten hero of Indian freedom struggle - ‘Veer Savarkar' and ‘Bravehearts of Bharat'. Hailing from Bangalore, Samapth grew up disliking History and a certain serial about the Wadiyars of Mysore intrigued him to know more about the History. The fascination led him to an intensive research and eventually he released his first book named ‘Splendours of Royal Mysore'. Sampath discusses how Indian movies need to be more realistic when it comes to the adaptation of Historic figures and how history textbooks need to paint a wider picture of our past that is inclusive of the whole of India. He explains why our history is taught in the way it is and reveals some hidden stories of the Indian past that only a handful of us might be aware of. He explains who Veer Savarkar really was and introduces us to the heroics of this man. He elucidates on the ideological war between Gandhi & Savarkar and mentions the need of celebrating other freedom fighters as well. Sampath gives us a holistic view of the Indian past and explains why it is necessary to look back at Indian History as a critique and not hide uncomfortable details under the carpet.  Make sure you watch this episode till the end!-------------------------

From #WendyDoniger to #EvanSpiegel to #justintrudeau , and more recently #rihanna  and #gretathunberg  Thunberg, we tend to go up in arms at every hint of being slighted or criticised by an outsider. Is this because we are exceptionally thin-skinned? Or is this because we are trying to regain control of the international narrative about India, still plagued with #colonial  prejudices. This is a complex matter and opinions tend to diverge drastically. With the aim of exploring this topic in depth, some of the brightest minds of India from varied fields including Politics, Technology, History, Entertainment and Journalism came together in this insightful debate.

Both the volumes have gone on to become national best sellers. In 2021, Vikram was elected as fellow to the prestigious Royal Historical Society of the United Kingdom. He was awarded the Sahitya Akademi's first Yuva Puraskar in English literature and the ARSC International Award for excellence in historical research in New York for his book on Gauhar Jaan.

Vikram Sampath (Vikram Sampath on Bravehearts of Bharat), the eminent historian, has featured 15 forgotten heroes and heroines from India's history - the ones who fought the invaders and put up stiff resistance. He brings to us a counter-narrative to the Imperialist-Leftist History written with a view to promote self loathing. Sanjay Dixit hosts him for a conversation.

A lopsided and an impractical statement by Shashi Tharoor emphasizing that Mughals became an integral part of India unlike Britishers, gave a whiff of deliberate attempt of imposing Islamic suzerainty in India. The Mughal rule was never a part of deep Indic and Sanatan Parampara, rather was a despotic, fanatic and a violent Islamic rule, one aimed at destroying Hindus and Hinduism.

Indian Independence history has been a result of blood and sweat of millions of Indias, unfortunately our history has been skewed in the favor of a select few. Many people who actually were the reasons why India gained its freedom have been maliciously sidelined. But now it's high time that they all receive the respect and attention they deserve and rightly so.

Vikram Sampath is a popular Indian historian, noted for authoring seven acclaimed books. Notably the biographies of Gauhar Jaan and V. D. Savarkar.  His two-volume biography of Savarkar: Echoes from a Forgotten Past and Savarkar: A Contested Legacy, 1924-1966 Both have gone on to become national best sellers.In  this episode we discuss his latest book "Bravehearts of Bharat: Vignettes from Indian History" narrates the tales of valour and success that India, as a nation and civilization, bore witness to in its long and tumultuous past, the book opens a window to the stories of select men and women who valiantly fought against invaders for their rights, faith and freedom.

Voices seeking rewriting of #IndianHistory are not new. For decades there have been myriad groups expressing their discontent with the mainstream history as it is taught in Indian schools and universities. Some of the most repeated criticisms include under-appreciation of ancient Indian achievements, exploitative portrayal of #caste, undue importance to #Mughals and neglect of those who resisted them, Delhi-centric narrative and oversight of histories of #Kashmir, North-East and South India, romanticisation of #precolonial inter-communal relations, airbrushing of #British atrocities and disproportionate importance to #Gandhi and #Congress leaders in the freedom struggle at the expense of revolutionaries such as #Bose and #Savarkar. In the last few years these voices have become increasingly louder with the rise of social media and ideological state support. A strong impetus came two years ago when India's home minister, Amit Shah called upon historians to re-write history. Yet for many professional historians such demands are puzzling, as they seem to suggest that Indian history was some sort of a static gospel. They point out that history writing is a continuous process. New research and re-examination of available evidence are always underway. This however has failed to assuage the critics who allege a systemic bias in Academia resulting in what they view as “distorted history”.Explore More at - www.argumentativeindians.comDISCLAIMER:We invite thought leaders from across the ideological spectrum.

Those who accuse Vikram Sampath of plagiarism must know that when academia is politicised, the biggest loser is academic integrity.

Why has the Left launched a concerted attack on Vikram Sampath? Is it because their shallow scholarship has been exposed by a genuine scholar who wrote well researched volumes about a person they hd demonised in order to trivialise the Idea of Bharat? Is it because the tide is turning and people are recognising their mafia tactics akin to Fascism? Abhijit Iyer Mitra is with Sanjay Dixit

In this podcast, Vikram Sampath talks about the methodological process one needs to follow when we study historical figures. What are the steps one needs to follow when they analyse someone from the past? Which material carries more weightage? How does someone judge a historical figure in totality?

Vikram Sampath is an esteemed historian and the author of five acclaimed books: Splendours of Royal Mysore, a biography of Gauhar Jaan, S Balachander, and a two-volume biography of Savarkar. In 2021, Sampath was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is a former senior fellow at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, and has many many more achievements under his belt. Welcome to the podcast. As the intellectual fountainhead of the ideology of Hindutva, which is in political ascendancy in India today, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is undoubtedly one of the most contentious political thinkers and leaders of the twentieth century. Accounts of his eventful and stormy life have oscillated from eulogizing hagiographies to disparaging demonization. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between and has unfortunately never been brought to light. Savarkar and his ideology stood as one of the strongest and most virulent opponents of Gandhi, his pacifist philosophy and the Indian National Congress. Dr. Sampath has written a two-part biography on this unseen hero of the Indian independence movement; the focus of this conversation. In this episode, our hosts Roshan Cariappa and Amit Paranjape bring up topics of Savarkar as a successor to Lokmanya Tilak, the relation between Subhash Chandra Bose and Savarkar, and his forward-looking thoughts on geopolitics and foreign relations. They also spoke about history as an art; whether there is such a thing as objective history and how we should look at idolized historical figures.

In 2021, Sampath was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is a former senior fellow at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, and has many many more achievements under his belt. Welcome to the podcast. As the intellectual fountainhead of the ideology of Hindutva, which is in political ascendancy in India today, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar is undoubtedly one of the most contentious political thinkers and leaders of the twentieth century. Accounts of his eventful and stormy life have oscillated from eulogizing hagiographies to disparaging demonization. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between and has unfortunately never been brought to light. Savarkar and his ideology stood as one of the strongest and most virulent opponents of Gandhi, his pacifist philosophy and the Indian National Congress. Dr. Sampath has written a two-part biography on this unseen hero of the Indian independence movement; the focus of this conversation. In this episode, our hosts Roshan Cariappa and Amit Paranjape bring up topics of Savarkar as a successor to Lokmanya Tilak, the relation between Subhash Chandra Bose and Savarkar, and his forward-looking thoughts on geopolitics and foreign relations. They also spoke about history as an art; whether there is such a thing as objective history and how we should look at idolized historical figures. This episode is sure to be a treat for history buffs and fans of Dr. Sampath alike. Viewers can also find this this episode on all audio platforms.

Get ready for a blockbuster discussion with Dr. Vikram Sampath, Historian, National Bestseller and much more to discuss a very important topic: Savarkar and reclaiming the lost glorious Itihasas of Bharat. A must-watch! #VeerSavarkar #Itihasas #VikramSampath #PGurusPrimetime

Will the accepted History of Indian Independence remain the same by 2030? The Establishment version credits Gandhi and Congress with India's independence but important voices question that narrative. Sanjay Dixit hosts Vikram Sampath, Anuj Dhar, Sunil Sharma and Prakhar Srivastava to find a way out.

In this podcast, Vikram Sampath talks to us about the culture of extreme gatekeeping in History Departments. In the last few weeks since the extremely successful launch of Vikram's books on Savarkar, there has been a slew of malicious attacks on Vikram. This has exposed us to the cabal that functions inside academia. This podcast is an attempt to understand this symptom as we deal with the specific Thekedars of History.

"There's been a shocking lack of academic curiosity or scholarly evaluation of Savarkar," says @vikramsampath, author of 'Savarkar; A Contested Legacy', the second part of his two-volume biography of the father of Hindutva. On this week's Books&Authors podcast, he talks to @utterflea about the dialogue between Ambedkar and Savarkar and the surprising similarity of their views, about the contribution of violent revolutionary activity during the freedom struggle, and the still unacknowledged anti-Brahmin pogrom in Maharashtra following the assassination of Gandhi.

The images that accompany this podcast may be found here: https://blogs.bl.uk/asian-and-african/2019/03/musicians-and-dancers-in-the-india-office-records.html In 1818, the East India Company signed a treaty with the autonomous Rajput states of Jaipur and Jodhpur, offering British political and military protection in exchange for heavy cash tribute. By the early 1830s, these states were swimming in debt and increasingly resisting the Company's influence. So in 1835 the Company took direct control over the revenue of the salt lake at Sambhar, still one of India’s largest sources of that most precious of commodities, salt. Sambhar Lake was returned to Jaipur's and Jodhpur’s control in 1842 when, having been brought to the brink of ruin by the Company’s protection racket, their arrears were written off by the Government in Calcutta. Short-lived and little-studied, the Sambhar Lake affair left behind a set of financial accounts in the East India Company records that are alive with details of musicians and dancers, the cycle of Sambhar's festival year, and the economics of such cultural production. One musician in particular stands forth from Jaipur's accounts as exceptional, Mayalee “dancing girl”. As well as being paid a monthly cash stipend, she received 25 maunds of salt annually, and was clearly one of Sambhar’s chief courtesans. Little exculpatory notes in the margins of successive Company accounts reveal that Mayalee successfully resisted the Company’s attempt to force her to give up her salt stipend in exchange for cash. Was she merely protecting a nice little sideline selling salt? Or did the more lofty ideal of “faithfulness to the salt” (namak-halali) underpin her resistance? In this podcast I consider why Indian musicians and especially courtesans appear at all in the official records of the East India Company, and what this tells us about relations between the British colonial state and the Indian peoples whose worlds it was increasingly encroaching upon during the 1830s and 40s.

Webseries Social covers 3 Tropical issues we are facing today:- Pros & Cons of Social Media- Human Trafficking for Sex Slavery- Masked MovementThere enough of videos, blog posts or research around the upside as well as downside of social media, Social shows you how to create a movement. We have also had other shows on human trafficking, this adds the flavour of tech with hacking and online auction.

The images that accompany this podcast may be found here: http://blogs.bl.uk/asian-and-african/2018/06/sophia-plowden-khanum-jan-and-hindustani-airs.html Khanum Jan was a celebrity courtesan in the cantonment of Kanpur and the court of Asafuddaula of Lucknow in 1780s North India. Famed then for her virtuosic singing, dancing, and speaking eyes, Khanum became famous again in the twentieth century because of her close musical interactions with a remarkable Englishwoman, Sophia Plowden. Through Plowden’s papers and extraordinary collection of Khanum’s repertoire, it is possible to reconstruct songs from the Lucknow court as they may have been performed 200 years ago, in both Indian and European versions. In this podcast, Katherine Butler Schofield tells the story of these two women, and harpsichordist Jane Chapman joins her to perform some of Khanum’s “Hindustani Airs”. The intertwined stories of Khanum and Sophia show that using Indian sources of the time to read between the lines of European papers and collections gives us a much richer view of this sadly short-lived moment of intercultural accord in late Mughal India.
