How many of you have read @AKanisetti’s previous book “Lords of the Deccan”? Here is a sample excerpt from one section about  the Chalukyas where he implies that Chalukya kings used to abduct women and then violently r@p3 them. He pulls out this claim as some bizarre generalization then throws in a totally unrelated reference from Kamasutra which he interprets as encouraging sexual violence. The utterly unfounded & insidious connection is further embellished by more unrelated KS references to kings “accidentally killing their women during sexual intercourse by beating them for pleasure” without providing any verifiable historical evidence that any of this happened in reality. But he is not done with his propaganda, adding nonchalantly that the practice was meant for an “elite audience” - implying  that it was high-caste Hindu society which was guilty of such murderous sexual violence. This is how narratives to distort and demonize Hindu history are woven intricately by so called “scholars”. And our media is fully complicit in glorifying & promoting them.

Do you see the pattern?
