Excited to share my book, Don’t Forward That Text! Separating Myths from History on Social Media, available at your favorite bookstores and on Kindle. This work explores thirty pieces of misinformation—some of a recent vintage, others held as self-evident for generations—in Indian history, striving to distinguish the proverbial wheat from the chaff.
In an age of multiple high-reach soapboxes, such myths have become easier than ever to propagate. I have only addressed thirty such, but there are many more. These, however, should be a good starting point for the inquiring mind.
Contrary to popular belief, not all misinformation is rooted in malice or propaganda. Some of the most dearly held myths simply stem from a genuine lack of awareness. My work attempts to take an objective, nonpartisan look at some of those and make history palatable in the process.
Grab your copy today and embark on this enlightening journey. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
