This is a new series that I am thinking about. Herein we discuss the story behind some important PYQs to improve students' perspective.

This is just an experiment to bring in deeper insight. All comments regarding it's usefulness as well as any suggestion for improvement are most welcome on Youtube. They will help us to decide the future format of the idea.

New episode of BTQ is out. Do watch it for insightful analysis of emerging historiography. We have traced Nur Jahan's assessment through four phases, the final one being the latest Feminist view.

I am sure it will be extremely useful for various other questions in Ancient and Medieval India.
