After receiving a lot of flak for an article by anonymous "eminent historians" in response to Murali Manohar Joshi's article, chindu has finally decided to give a few names from the "eminent historians" list.

Dear Chindis, It is time to move on and stop licking your wounds. The BJP was comprehensively made to eat the dust and that perhaps is a fact that your brain-washed 'altered-state' historians are still working out on how to refute. LOL.
In any case your pathetic arguments stand on basis of the out-and-out character assassination of hundreds of scholars who gave their life to truth - while you continue to prostrate before lies.

Dear Aryan Culler, whoever you are saying 'gave life' to truth, actually murdered truth.
the loss of BJP in the elections might be of 'historical importance' for the self-proclaimed 'eminent historians' and not the ones who you call 'altered state' historians. These 'altered state' historians write History in its truthful form and not in a form to be politically correct like the 'eminent historians' do.
They can again record this loss of a nationalist force in a romanticized manner the way they have been eulogizing the fall of nationalist forces like the Marathas and Rajputs.
