      Interesting he does not provide the difference between History books Vs Historical Nonfiction books but mentions 2 names Manu Pillai & Ira Mukhoty, both of them falls under Historical Nonfiction category & not in History books per se.
      Think why he hid the above technical detail.
      By the way anyone interested in direct translations of Original Persian texts check these site -

    Thanks for inviting William Dalrymple. He is my favourite author. I have read some 8-10 books (all historical non fiction) since lockdown started. The first book i read was "The Last Mughal", i read it in March. It is insanely researched book. I'm Bombayite but i loved it. If you're Delhite, you're ought to read it once. His City of Djinn and Nine lives are also equally good but those are more of a travelogue.

    • @pantonfire

      @@pantonfire yes ditto. But history is not that genre which everyone likes to read. Especially in developing countries like ours where everyone's eyes are on future and no one's want to look back. I know people who are quite an avid reader but won't read history. If you start reading history of the place/ city you live in or region from your ancestors come from or history of caste which you are born in, that might attract you to read history more. Also, I've read more stuff on the city of Delhi than your and mine city of Bombay. There are no work you will find (please suggest if you know), written on 19th century Bombay and it's people. Whereas, Delhi has lot of works written / portrayed from same period. Weather Charles Metclaf's Delhi book or his daughter's childhood which she spent in Delhi in 1850s. Or William Fraser's birlliant work on portraying Delhi monuments in 1820s. So when you go there near Kashmiri Gate or Old Delhi, it gives you goosebumps. Sadly there are no work on Bombay whatsoever from that period.

    It is sad that I have to say this but as many of us, even I didn't get to learn much about history in school. Wake up with Sorabh has been a wonderful experience so far. From entertainment to being informative, it truly covers everything. The important takeaway for me personally from watching all the interviews of the historians is that it has developed so much curiosity in me to read and learn more about our history and the history of the world that we live in. Thanks, Sorabh for doing this.

    This is very random, but when you said Vivekananda died young, you reminded me of a video which said we should not gauge a persons life span with the number of "actual years" they lived, rather gauge them by the number of achievement they have done in their lifespan. A person who lived 90 years, his lifespan might not even equate to the life span of an achiever who lived only 30 years. Quality matters

    William Darlymple is my favourite author. I always used to hate history during my school days. Part of the problem was the curriculum which treated it just as "re-collection of facts that happened in the past". But, this man changed that for me. I like his storytelling a lot.

    Sorabh, I have never seen you so quiet in your own podcast😊 Imagine an episode with William, Vipul Goyal and Cyrus Broacha - the nonstop chatter would unleash energy greater than the Sun. Great to hear another historian on your podcast. I am 56 and studied in an ICSE school in Bombay in the 70s before moving to the US in the 90s. We had the best history education that our teachers brought to life and in fact took us to South India for a cultural visit in the 9th where we saw Brihadeswara temple in Thanjavur, the sculptures at Mahabalipuram and so much more. History is anything but boring. Thanks for the wonderful guests.

    Hey KV, Murud Janjira was never conquered by Marathas and was always under Siddis, which according to my knowledge, only came under 'India' after independence. Marathas tried multiple times to conquer Janjira but failed. In attempt to win Janjira, new fort called Padmadurga was getting built on another island nearby which you can see from Janjira. Sambhaji Raje was looking after the construction of Padmdurg but unfortunately Mughals captured Sambhaji Raje and Padmdurg remained in backdrops after that. I might be wrong here and there, you can always read and verify online.
