| Romila Thapar Op-Ed in New Barf Times |
|
 | Romila punched you chaps good! Hrmff! You non-academic engineers dare to manufacture history of India?! The nerve! | |
|
| Professor, I thought engagement, rather than gate-keeping was the mark of a confident academic?! Credentialing should open minds, not close doors! | |

| Thapar Quotes Hindu-Cloning! |
|
| But...but...you chaps talk about cloning, airplanes, and nukes in ancient India, and deny AIT, propose OIT, and unacceptable timelines for Indian history. How can we academics engage that?! | |
|
| Instead of quoting absurd outliers, why wouldn't you engage SK, MD on Saraswati, ST on Sanskrit, KE on linguistics, SK, AKB, NA, NNO on astronomy, CKR on math, VA on chronology, RM on identity and narratives, and hundreds of other Indic scholars? | |

| Romila Debunks Ancient Chronology for India |
|
| Haven't heard of any of them | |
|
| Wow! My point is proved! Shouldn't academics keep abreast of developments in their fields and engage them actively? Romila readily quotes non-entities but feigns ignorance and dares not quote Indic scholars? Is that scholarship? | |
