Who puts what in history abd how and why makes it a projrct of the ruling classes and Marx was correct. Habib has a n agenda of equating all of scientific and critical research of ancinet India on par with theocracy and that is ok as long as he acknowledges . He is not even aware of his fulcrum point of critique.

No I am a Marxist my PhD dissertation was on Frankfurt School. Instead of accusing me find faults in my logic. Habib is not a Marxist . he is the Marxist that Marx said he did not want to be,RSS is shallow but Habib is shallower.. His inference would not ho;d water in the nyaya system of logic. Aristotelian plattitudes with no substance, How the poor have fared is not up to RSS. When did Habib ever do a peice on Indian philosophy that serves as the core modus operendi of the nation. Bush connected Iraq to 9 11 o justify his war. Habib connects RSSS to all violence.
Show your logic. Marx;s error was that he could not relate mode and relations of production to the self where the self is composed of culture that includes mode and realations of production but total samskaras. Habib’s samskaras are the Aristotelian interpretation of religion, He is viscerally ipposed to Islamic theology but his Aristotelian secularism is infested with doxa or opinion based narrative not purva paksha based.

Wittgenstein says we play language games. Habib skirts around the notion that the Idea of India is what iIndians think. Plurality of humans and Gods Unifying monism and oprn debate is what makes India, not the Abrahamic prejudices of Dr. Habib
