  • Our History Their History Whose History? (Unabridged) - cover

    Our History Their History Whose...

    An overview of nationalism and its impact on the study of history from one of India's most prominent historians.
    
    In this timely book, historian Romila Thapar delves into the complex world of nationalisms and its impact on the interpretations of the past and on the discipline of history itself. History, she expounds, is no mere collection of information and chronology and its purpose extends well beyond storytelling.
    
    Recognizing nationalism as a powerful force that gives rise to various narratives that provide ancestry to communities and shape the direction of societies, Thapar explores how, in India, two conflicting notions of nationalism have evolved and shaped the idea of the nation. Today, one such nationalistic theory claims the victimization of one religious community by another through centuries of 'misrule'. Such a claim willfully ignores ample evidence to the contrary to suit a particular political and ideological purpose. Thapar counters such attempts at misrepresentation by citing several historical instances of the nuanced interface and intermingling of cultures, as well as by showing how today's conflicts have their roots in the British colonial construction of India's history. She also addresses the recent controversy surrounding the deletions of sections of Indian history textbooks published by NCERT, the Indian educational council and suggests that the intention is more likely to be the promotion of a particular reading of history that conforms to the ideology of those in power.
    
    Engaging and thought-provoking, Our History, Their History, Whose History? invites readers to question the authenticity of historical narratives touted by one group of nationalists and it explores the clash between professional historians who study the past to understand our inherited present and fabricators who wield history for political gain.

    Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like 'pandemic' and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
     
    There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
     
    George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along…

    Hannah on Hungerstrike

    This play is about Hanna Sheehy Skeffington on hunger strike in Mountjoy. She is joined by James Connolly in Mountjoy prison. In 1913 both were in Mountjoy prison and both went on hunger strike. The people are real and of great historical importance. The events are real. The dialogue is fictitious and is the author’s attempt to simulate the issues at that time. A degree of artistic nuance has been applied to the setting. The content therefore, while based on real events and people, is not a factual historical record but just the opinion of the author.

    Virtuous Minds - Intellectual...

    Our culture today is in a state of crisis where intellectual virtue is concerned. Dishonesty, cheating, arrogance, laziness, cowardice—such vices are rampant in society, even among the world's most prominent leaders. We find ourselves in an ethical vacuum, as the daily headlines of our newspapers confirm again and again. Central to the problem is the state of education. We live in a technological world that has ever greater access to new information and yet no idea what to do with it all. 
     
     
     
    In this wise and winsome book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. He explores seven key virtues—courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty, and humility—and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor. 
     
     
     
    Dow has written an eminently practical guide to a life of intellectual virtue designed especially for parents and educators. The book concludes with seven principles for a true education.
