"History can never be used to justify faith": Romila Thapar

A panel of speakers that included Romila Thapar, Kunal Chakrabarti, Zoya Hasan, and Valay Singh talked about the history of Ayodhya and more at the book launch of 'Ayodhya: City of Faith, City of Discord' in New Delhi. In this video, Veteran historian Romila Thapar talks about the necessity of maintaining a distinction between history and belief and congratulated Singh on  separating the historical narrative from the narrative that emerges out of faith. Talking about Ram, she says, "Speaking as a historian, there is no cross-evidence for the historicity of the person of Ram." She also talks about how communities of all kinds have appropriated Valmiki's Ramayana and given it a distinctive identity: "The worshipper of Ram can believe whichever of these many versions of Ram he or she chooses to because this is a matter of faith and belief. It doesn't impinge on historicity or history." Read more at: https://indianculturalforum.in/2019/0...
