WRONG History We've Been Taught - EXPOSED by Historian Vikram Sampath | FO 92 - Raj Shamani

Order my first book 'Build, Don't Talk' here: https://amzn.eu/d/eCfijRuSubscribe To Our Other YouTube Channels:-https://www.youtube.com/@rajshamaniclipshttps://www.youtube.com/@RajShamani.Shorts--------------In today’s episode of Figuring Out, Raj is in conversation with the Indian Historian and the bestselling author - Dr. Vikram Sampath. His work includes the biographies of the infamous ‘Gauhar Jaan’, the forgotten hero of Indian freedom struggle - ‘Veer Savarkar’ and ‘Bravehearts of Bharat’. Hailing from Bangalore, Samapth grew up disliking History and a certain serial about the Wadiyars of Mysore intrigued him to know more about the History. The fascination led him to an intensive research and eventually he released his first book named ‘Splendours of Royal Mysore’. Sampath discusses how Indian movies need to be more realistic when it comes to the adaptation of Historic figures and how history textbooks need to paint a wider picture of our past that is inclusive of the whole of India. He explains why our history is taught in the way it is and reveals some hidden stories of the Indian past that only a handful of us might be aware of. He explains who Veer Savarkar really was and introduces us to the heroics of this man. He elucidates on the ideological war between Gandhi & Savarkar and mentions the need of celebrating other freedom fighters as well. Sampath gives us a holistic view of the Indian past and explains why it is necessary to look back at Indian History as a critique and not hide uncomfortable details under the carpet.  Make sure you watch this episode till the end!-------------------------🎧 Stream Figuring Out episodes on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/736rhmW7vilNgkFFo8aDz4📺 Watch Figuring Out episodes on YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE0Jo6NF_JYO5-phess8GKafKMtPv3tfZ-------------Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction2:27 - Portrayal of history in movies12:44 - Need for change in history textbooks18:21 - his definition of History19:01 - Importance of history in building a future21:07 - Initiatives for teaching the history better24:59 - Mughal emperors in Indian history30:22 - Importance of truth in history33:19 - Experience of meeting Shri.
