He is an "eminent" historian. He quotes another "eminent" historian from AMU.
In a single article, they make several BLUNDERS. They cannot even get their basic dates right. Their claims are factually incorrect and FAKE.
This thread is a FACT CHECK of their claims

The heading of @Rezavi 's article says
"Historical records show it was Marathas who came up with the name of Aligarh. Their governor Najaf Ali Khan renamed it as Aligarh"
This is the central claim of the article. And it is a FAKE claim
Najaf Ali khan was NOT Maratha commander

Najaf Ali khan was NOT Maratha commander
In fact, Najaf Ali Khan was the sword arm of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II.
Najaf Ali Khan was NOT a Maratha governor.
In fact, no Maratha governor ever existed by the name "Najaf Ali Khan" in the ENTIRE 18th century.

Who was Najaf Ali Khan?
A Persian, Najaf came to India along with his sister who married a Mughal official. He joined Mughal service.
Far from being a "Maratha governor", he fought battles AGAINST Marathas (English waged wars against Marathas in the name of Mughal emperor)

In this article, @rezavi says
"Madhav Rao Scindia captured Aligarh in 1759 along with French commander De Boigne".
Ha ha . De Boigne was an 8 year old kid in 1759. And he was in France. He did not come to India until 1778.
This is the level of these eminent AMU historians

Fake quotes, fake dates, fake claims.
This is the reality of these eminent historians.
They have no knowledge but they pose as scholars.
But at the core, they are political propogandists. "Marathas named it Aligarh, so don't change its name" is their argument. FAKE premise

Here is another factually incorrect claim of @Rezavi.
He claims that it was Jats who named it as Ramgarh in 1753. This is FALSE.
It was known as Ramgarh even before Jat Conquest. The Hindus addressed it as "Ramgarh" since at least 16th century and possibly much earlier

@irfhabib @Rezavi Meanwhile, Frontline Magazine @frontline_india still advertises this FAKE article as "new historical research"
Some regional, casteist trolls in Quote Tweets are telling ME that Madhav Rao was Mahadji Scindia's name. I wrote about it in my thread years before you even opened your accounts. Read it first. Learn comprehension. He was clearly talking about Madhav Rao & accepted his mistake
Supremacist trolls do not even fully read the arguments of the other side, forget about understanding the arguments or formulating a response to it. Like a monkey with a banana, they jump at anything they think they found, without even making an attempt to understand the context.
In my 2016 thread, I wrote that Madhav Rao was the Mahadji's name. Go and read that. I do not need to learn that from supremacist trolls who made their accounts recently and spend their time 24*7 in spewing venom over other communities and their icons
