Unlike others I give credit where due. As Jadunath Sarkar said alone among Indian ppl Marathas contested Mughals and rolled them back conquering them ultimately. That is legacy of Marathas and every Maharashtrian should be proud.

You Kaal Chiron and Rohit did you even read that tweet? Sarkar is admiring Marathas as only ppl who rolled Mughals back and conquered them. What is wrong in it ? This is your history and you are justifiably proud of it.
I know he had limited access to Marathi primary sources. However this quote is completely right and I do not think anyone can disagree there.
Deccani ppl were contesting Punjab with Abdali so their blood flowed but when Abdali attacked Mathura,4k Naga Sadhus and thousands of Jats died protecting the city. Not one Maratha bled in defence of that city.

I did. I am speaking in general on Sarkar as a historian and his opinions about Marathas which were based on non-primary documents. Not about his work on Mughals which is par excellence.

Sarkar is not authority when it comes to Marathas. His opinions are welcome. But he is authority on Mughals.
Also an addendum, wrt Shivaji and Marathas (not other aspects of that era) research and writing in MH has moved far far in advance of Jadunath Sarkar with far more sources

Being open to criticism doesn't mean criticism won't be countered if one disagrees https://t.co/l9TMfqWxJ8
Where does this idea come from that people are intolerant to criticism of Marathas? A cursory reading of Marathi historians themselves should disabuse anyone of this notion.

The flaws of the last H Empire and the reasons for its failure need to be studied threadbare- it is only from there that we can start to build the future. But first for that one has to stop refusing to see it as 'yours' in the first place. https://t.co/EAkkRInDkZ
As the last pan-India Hindu Empire, it belongs to all of us, just as all past Hindu Empires do. First stop being petty and parochial, take ownership of it as a Hindu, then critique it. https://t.co/4kVZQru7jo
Bargis did destroy temples here. I understand that generals didn't wield complete control over the band of looters. But destroying temples, loots are part of history too. Won't those be included in history too ? Otherwise, I don't have any objections to people getting their due.

Destroyed vigrahas for sure. Chief among them will be Siddeshwari of Bhadrapur. Aparajita of Kanakpur, Keshabakshi (both were earlier damaged by Kalapahar).
First damaged by Kalapahar then again from Bargis.

With due regards to his untiring work...Jadunath Sarkar is not the last word...a great historian like say G.B. Mehendale has written about the horrible mistakes that Sarkar has made..and simply because his attitude of refusal to read even primary Marathi sources. Dhanyavad!!
That is the problem...he did not have limited access...he, in many cases, refuse to even consider primary Marathi sources...if you claim to be a reader of history...you will make an affort to first read Mehendale and try to refute what he said about Sarkar..I will end it here.

Your view. I would regard Rana Sanga say a saviour of MH Hindus too..if he had succeeded in freeing MH from Bahamani grip..even if Hindus were 90% in MH under Bahamanis..in fact I regard him as a saviour even now..no Hindu worth the name should live under degrading muslim rule.
Modi’s virtual internet lockdown has kept 8 Million Kashmiris in dark about #coronavirus - Pakistan was then not wrong to raise #Kashmir in the SAARC video conference on #COVID2019 https://t.co/1K5qdg1VxC

Fighting Communism or Hindutva is not the real challenge as the present crisis underscores. Larger Ontological picture is more relevant for which the Yogic insights of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are immensely instructive. Modernity is key but Supraphysical realm matters much more.

One of the very few books that I have read word by word. Am restarting again. Virus will keep coming even if we find a solution for Corona. The only thing important is to have a better immune system. And simplest thing for that is to eat right, sleep well & exercise. https://t.co/5dEa8EUsS5

As Gebser perceived, the breakdown of the mental-rational (or dialectical mind) in the face of intractable double-binds, dilemmas, and crises, tends to revert to equally aberrant modes of magical consciousness, ie, "magical thinking" (cf. Gary Lachman's *Dark Star Rising*)... /1
Prayer, instrumentalised as a form of magical technique (or spell-casting) rather than as a mode of contemplation, is just such a reversion to magical thinking. /2
