Elite talking history Phulkian Versus Sindhawalia
Refer to the following report.
Amarinder Talks about his family
S Amarinder Singh is an ex-CM of Punjab and descendant of rulers of Patiala. The following report is a journalistic report talking nothing much except the usual stuff. However, the person who is the author he is definitely a part of history and directly related to Maharaja Ranjit Singh also.
The blogger had learnt that the family library of Amarinder Singh contains such documents which had hidden many secret not only from pre-colonial period but also from post independence period. Hence, this report is a befitting selection for reviving posting which had remained suspended for long only because of long and erratic electric supply in Punjab where only British ruled. (The Indian Punjab remained outside the control of Lahore Darbar after the Amritsar Treaty of 1809 between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Metcalfe).
As the topic taken in report is highly controversial as why the Punjab was annexed by Dalhousie after the Anglo-Sikh war, the issue is of Conspiracy History which sadly not undertaken seriously in India. But in the report, those events had been mentioned which had been behind the final annexation of Punjab.

History Coming Alive in News Through Theft Cases
This is another way that History is coming into news. A watch gifted to Ex Prime Minister, Late Lal Bhadur Shastri by Alexei Kosygin of Russia when he was in Tashkent Conference in 1966 is stolen.
Sometime back, the Nobel Prize medal awarded to Guru Rabindranath Tagore was stolen. The case was given to CBI but it was closed without any result.
However, what may be the conspiracies behind it, such thefts bring History into news.
Is it not surprising that there is no Conspiracy theories in India? History is an opinion but different from myths. India has always tried to live the myths. India has lived the myths of their heroes who are infallible and therefore their history is sacred without blemish of conspiracies. But, why is it that thieves know better than the nation and disappear with the items which were symbols of the greatness of the Indian heroes. The stolen items are not recovered. But no conspiracy is pursued with the aim of reaching the actual truth. The ambiguity is preserved but thieves escape with the symbols.
Will these stolen items will again bring into news the history again?!!!
