Very interesting. I would like to study more of this.

dude, i mean your eminent scholar Professor Chatterjee, get a pair of 1.25 reading glasses, and give to someone with worse reading vision the apparent 3.50 or higher you are using in this lecture/video. It will make it alot easier for you to read at a satisfactory and comfortable distance from your face. You are a genius and I just think you should be more at ease because you deserve it.

The effect is better in the audio only which you can get via iToons University only you also have the dubious pleasure of having to listen to about 15 mins of the most boring intro ever by some academic shiela.

Anywho up to about 1960 the BH of C was part of what every good British schoolboy knew about. Except in my case I was under the severe misapprehension that it had occurred during the Indian Mutiny. (ie. about a 100 years later).

It is never to late to be cured of ignorance.

With all due respect, but how are we supposed to be kept captivated & focused on this lecture with the way the proffess is just reading instead of interacting & giving a real lecture>? The subject is great & i was very interested, but def lost all intereste after 3-4 mins specially the way he's readin & looking @ that paper!

interesting but extremely boring, due to him reading his lecture rather than delivering it; he gives the impression he doesn't master the subject well if he needs to read it

[yanooth]

@thecraicrules he is doing this lecture the customary way of delivering lectures in history - reading the paper. btw, he is a foremost historian of India.

I know this is off topic, but what does one have to do to upload videos with a lenght exceeding 10:00 min (this is 1:06:11 hrs). Yours lusthansa
