Why should a historian defend secular democratic values while writing history?! History should be written as it was. Not wilfully distorted (as Indian history was) to suit certain religious & political ideologies!
Also, secularism is a western concept & doesn’t fit in India.

India was always based on plurality. We don’t need secularism from west.
As for upholding democracy, ancient India taught democracy to the world. People from the Marxist-Izlamic ideological folds don’t have to teach us on that! Both, anyway, don’t follow democracy when in power!

For the uninitiated or pretending to be so, saying the original writer didn’t mean upholding secularism while writing, but otherwise, you are living in a fool’s paradise. Thapar’s history writing & all her elsewhere fights to protect so called secularism have always been biased!
