@Jayvtweets “Shams ud-Din Iltutmish may seem no different from the many Sultans whose rule is collectively called Delhi Sultanate. But if you study the period during which he ruled, you will begin to admire him.”
This is your original tweet. 1/n
@Jayvtweets Let me use the same wording but for other person
“Hitler may seem no different that many other dictators of the world. But if you study how he raised Germany to the stature of world power, you will begin to admire him.” 2/n
@Jayvtweets Will you tweet something like this?
If not then what justifies your first tweet even with all the nuances? And more than that what justifies the criticism of people who didn’t like it? 3/n
@Jayvtweets For you as a historian Iltutmish is perhaps a mere historical character of the history but for others he was the oppressor who brought misery to their ancestors. So can you blame them when they tried to correct your partial analysis?
