I was a tad disappointed with Devdutt Patnaik's lecture on Instagram of which Frederick has sent the link on this thread. It felt like in order to keep it simple, he ended up being simplistic and spicing it with a lot of factual errors. For instance, he kept insisting on just the hindu past of Goa pre Portuguese, denying the presence of the islamic past.
Yes, he said the thrust of his talk was on mythology but then his understanding of mythology was constructed around some false details of the past.
