Along with the complete set of Critical Edition of Mahabharata.

One of the toughest and longest tasks taken by Indian intellectuals. Best of the minds worked on this for about 40-50 years at Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI).

I had always read about it's intellectuals feat. Even Pandit Nehru, Zakir Hussain, Dr Radhakrishnan all had visited BORI to see this work being unfolded. Got to see the print copies, touch them and smell them for the first time.

We have started this new playlist on eminent historians of India.

We teach about their views, you read and write about them. But have you seen them speaking?

So, small excerpts of eminent historians on some interesting issues. It will become a very selected and eclectic collectoon over time. Although primarily from History Optional point of view, I am sure every aspirant will definitely find it enriching.

Dont forget to subscribe to stay tuned.

Now, we are coming with HOT500 2.0.

To be honest, this has been our most ambitious program ever for history optional. And running of 1.0 batch has given us a lot encouragement about the utility of this program.

This time, we will begin the schedule with Ancient India. And this will be the final batch this year. We will not be able to come up with 3.0.

Although called as HOT500, as I have recently started saying again and again, it should ideally be termed as HOT800. There are about 75+ classes and 8 tests (8 sectional, 2 FLT)

The entire course will be over before the end of February. So, you will be able to complete the optional thoroughly before shifting completely to exclusive Prelims preparation.

The schedule and details are provided on course page. Visit this link for further details.

I am told that instagram would be a better place to reach out to wider audience with interesting books and comments. While Telegram is the platform suitable for UPSC CSE preparation, for mor3 generic history stuff, insta will be better.

So, here I am reviving an old insta page which was laying dormant for many years.

Will gradually try to shift all non UPSC related history updates like some new events, books, reviews, visits and historians to Instagram.

2024 is the 100th year of announcement of the discovery of Harappan Civilization. But do you know, it could well have been 110th year. But somehow it all got delayed.

Listen to this shortest story of what delayed Harappan discovery by Prof. Nayanjot Lahiri, the most eminent historian alive today on this topic.

https://youtu.be/1Yl67dYCXMo

They have discovered an entirely unknown Mayan city in Mexico called Valeriana. Its like finding a new city in Harappan civilization but for Maya.

It was done using the LiDAR data of the dense forest region. This data was already publicly available for many years. It was taken for some carbon storage survey by other scientists. Ittefaqan, some archaeologist was going through the same data, after many years, and identified a whole ancient Mayan city structures, of pyramids, houses, highways etc.

This is a fascinsting discovery. Even today more cites are found, more scripts are deciphered. Archaeology is not static. History of dead peoples is so dynamic.

Of all articles that I read on this discovery, this one is quite good:

This is a fabulous after-story in the life of great Rakhaldas Banerjee, the man who discovered the identity of Mohenjodaro. Did he become a thief? Or it was a usual colonial arrogance of sorts?

All of it must have been a massive misunderstanding, if at all. But lI don't think he was unaware of the value of the item involved in the story.

Do watch this facinsting story, being retold by Prof Nayanjot Lahiri.
