Amish Tripathi
In this atmosphere of ignorance about our past, two groups of extremists control the narrative: one set that believes in fantastical tales like Indians having undertaken interplanetary travel to Mars, and then there is the other group that refuses to accede that ancient Indians achieved anything at all. Very rarely is a country the inheritor of such great heritage and yet remains ignorant of it.
