We'll see fissures like Ayodhya if we don't make peace with our past: Vikram Sampath | India Today Conclave 2021

Speaking at the 19th edition of the India Today Conclave in the session titled 'Bulls in our Memory Shop: Debating heritage, history, hubris', MP Shashi Tharoor and historian Vikram Sampath discussed a range of issues from the history taught in Indian textbooks to the appropriation of controversial figures for political motives.

India will keep witnessing fissures if we do not make peace with our troubled past, historian Vikram Sampath said at the India Today Conclave 2021.

"Let people read the truth, however inconvenient it may be. I think we have had a very troubled past and since we have not made peace with it, we will keep having these fissures emanating all the time, whether it is in Ayodhya or some other place," says Vikram Sampath.
