Thank you, Devki! Bias in itself is not wrong as long as we don't run down someone to prop up the person / actor / character we like.

It has been nice talking to you on the blog. Hope to have more discussions with you in future. 😊

Hi Ann

Devki

Thank you for the high praise :)

Any chronicler, be it of history or contemporary affairs, needs to present facts / findings as read / observed / discovered, without mixing their own views / conclusions / judgement in it.

In our posts, we have always been very clear in separating facts from our own views by stating precisely whether something was read from a historical record or is our own opinion.

Like u so rightly said, history is subjective and free to personal interpretation. Our job, we feel, is only to share our readings with those history aficionados who may find it hard to access Multiple sources or multiple viewpoints about a historical event. We leave it to individuals to draw their own conclusions therafter.

A case in point is the Chittor series. Many readers have been shocked to see the other, darker side of Akbar. Before writing each post in this series, we have pondered a lot whether to share some not so fine details from history. But ultimately, we felt that it was our purpose to present historical evidence as we found it. We were not bound in allegiance to any particular person or dynasty. And so we put forth whatever we found about the war on the blog (the last part is still in the pipeline).

at the same time, there are numerous posts on the blog that talk about the reformist, liberal outlook of Akbar.

So, you see, maintaining a balance is essential. Readers have to see all sides of a person before judging him. And we help in this process by presenting neutral findings of all aspects of a person's character.

I really thank you and all those readers who have appreciated the blog and supported the unbiased writing. There has been no pressure to favor or write against any person / empire on us so far, which is excellent and shows mature thinking. We hope your support will continue in future :).

Yes Devki, you are absolutely right.

A big thanks to Abhay for his such interesting posts adding to our knowledge. His informative posts made the journey of JA even more pleasurable.😊

You're Welcome Tarunika.! As i replied to Devki, I am short of words to reply to you all, so replying in instalments, as i never expected to receive this kind of post. I am glad to know you all enjoyed reading them, just like i enjoyed writing them. :)

Thank you for making this heartfelt post, Devki. 👍🏼 😊 👏

I completely agree with each and every word that you have written.

Abhay has educated several readers all over the world. Cannot laud his efforts enough. If not for his blog, I would never have gained in-depth knowledge about several aspects of history. Reading books and manuals is one thing, but sharing the information and knowledge gained, by putting in hours of hard work, clearly reveals his selfless, hard working nature.

Alongside Abhay, Radhika has also made several interesting and informative contributions, to the blog. My sincere heartfelt thanks to both Abhay and Radhika for making history interesting and bringing several details of Mughal, Rajput, Mauryan royalty to the fore.

I wish you good luck, and infinite success with your blog, Abhay. You deserve every bit of it.

Charu,
Thank you. It was a pleasure reading your regular honest takes / views on the blog about the posts. Made me improve a lot. Hope to see you continuing there. :)
