It was about 15 years ago when I met Lakshmi Swaminathan/Sahgal. We had gone to Kanpur to interview her, in 2008.
She spoke of memories of serving in Indian National Army as the head of Rani Jhansi Regiment and minister of women's affairs. Her descriptions of experiences on 'maidan-e-jung' were very vivid.
She also wrote a letter to us and signed it with her name and rank in INA. Still goosebumps.

Iron Age in India began over 4,000 years ago. Tamil Nadu’s Mayiladumparai revises research
Discoveries from Mayiladumparai and a few sites in Telangana urge us to reassess a long-running debate on the genesis and spread of iron throughout the subcontinent.

Mughals failed India in science. Just see what Europe did between 1526 and 1757
BJP and its followers portray the Mughal era as a dark period while established historians highlight the glory of 'Great Mughals'. But no one compares Mughals with Europeans.

We took a walk down Ho Chi Minh City and landed up at the War Museum. What we saw there was really shocking but also inspiring. Follow us for a walk through history of Vietnamese struggle against colonialism.

Enlightenment is a very difficult topic conceptually and every year, at least one question is asked, either directly or on thinkers.
These are the notes from our History Optional Foundation batch of 2023-24.

Sriram Tarnikanti IAS 92 is the new Director of LBSNAA, Mussoorie.
Originally from what was known as Manipur-Tripura cadre back then, in 99-97 he was DM of Churanchandpur District, where he handled ethnic clashes very well.
He will be the head of LBSNAA, when you clear the exam this year and join it next year.
Keep the night lamp burning.

This is an interesting and exciting new development.
Over the last 3 decades, a lot of research has been happening in Kushana studies, especially after the fall of USSR the opportunities have increased and need is also felt. Gradually a better picture is appearing on the horizon about who these people were ans what all did they do.

Statue of Oneness being unveiled on 18th.
Last time we had the Statue of Equality of Acharya Ramanujacharya and there was a question in Prelims.
Adi Shankaracharyas philoaophy is as important and rather more fundamental in nature. Do read about it.
I have also discussed his ideas in this video which will definitely be useful to understand the context of his ideas.
