Reporting History: Early India

I was wondering what I should speak on when addressing an audience of budding journalists and media persons. So I thought I might speak on why some of us historians, feel bothered by the way the media, both print and visual, report on and treat themes that have to do with history, especially early Indian history. So now that I have a captive audience with all of you here, I shall try and explain why the reporting on historical subjects, is something of an intellectual challenge, if its intention is to project the kind of knowledge that historians are exploring.
