The GARBAGE taught in Rawlinson’s “A Concise History of The Indian People”
I mentioned a yesterday that I finally found my school history book, A Concise History of The Indian People. I have the second edition. Fortunately, the first edition is available as PDF on the internet. I have OCRd the first edition and uploaded here as a Word document. But I want to post the relevant extracts […]
Who was H.G. Rawlinson (1880-1957)?
I finally found my school book on Indian history by Rawlinson. It is NOT the book I’ve been mentioning earlier, here, i.e. The Oxford Student’s History of India (1908). Instead, the school history book is called, “A Concise History of The Indian People” and I have with me its second edition which was published in […]

Be prepared to change ALL your views about India. Sanjay Sonawani’s work will turn your understanding of India up side down.
My FB post a moment ago. I think this is worth sharing. AN EXTRACT FROM SANJAY’S BRILLIANT WORK – DRAFT, IN PROGRESS. HE GOES TO THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM: THE MUTE ACCEPTANCE BY INDIAN SCHOLARS OF A PATENTLY FALSE HISTORY OF INDIA THAT WAS CREATED BY THE BRITISH (WHO WERE BIASED DUE TO A […]
The Aryan invasion theory that I was taught in school – Rawlinson’s text
I’ve broadly checked a couple of sections of the OCRd version of Rawlinson that I had cited here, and these are published below. This book of 1908 remained unchanged till my time in school (I was taught this in 1972, but I also read this book in detail for my IAS exams in 1981). Since […]
Rawlinson’s Oxford Student’s History of India 1908 – OCRd as a Word document
This book (I had been taught a later edition – very similar – but I can’t readily locate my personal copy) is available on archives.org. I’ve OCRd this since I want to remind myself about what I was taught as Indian history in year 8 in school (this book was the prescribed text in Bishop’s […]

My 1982 article on Tantra – publishing its HTML version so I can review my research
I took my IAS exam in 1981-82 while living in Pune for a couple of years after having given up my Masters studies in Maths from Central College, Bangalore (yes, the great C.V. Raman’s college). In my view, a masters in Maths was irrelevant to the IAS exam. I therefore returned my National Science Talent […]
Sanjay Sonawani’s further refutation of Mr VR Patil’s thesis that the Vedas originated in India
I had published Sanjay’s critique of material that VR Patil had sent me some time ago, here. In the meanwhile Mr Patil sent me the following (download here): “Indirect Evidence In Rigved Indicating Avestan People Were Originally From Sapt-Sindhu Region” I sent this to Sanjay to have a look. Sanjay has take the time to […]

Individual sovereignty is the core principle of liberalism
Liberalism is quite a big deal. It involves completely inverting the current relationship between the people and government. Once people understand this, the antics of the socialists and elite crony capitalists will become blatantly obvious to every single child in India. SBP is effectively liberating Indians from mental slavery.
Defamation law has no place in a free society
I wrote this on my FB profile page a few days ago. Defamation law puts a huge brake on free speech and stops reputational feedback in its tracks. It doesn’t matter if you are right, you will still face a huge legal bill to defend your comments. This is a credible off-equilibrium threat. Can anyone […]

Sanjay Sonawani’s forensic analysis of caste – something quite radical and unprecedented
Like all modern “elites” of India, I went through a convent school education for more than half my schooling (the rest in a Central School). History was taught from Rawlinson’s Student’s History of India. The book taught the Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT). My later studies of history more or less supported the AIT, till around […]
