There's probably a 1000 books on this and you've cited the 5 that most support your cool contrarian take.
It's a very simple question: Does 2 nobel prizes for 1/7th of humanity over half a century qualify as a golden age ?
If it were true, you wouldn't need to appeal to authority (or cherrypicked books) to prove it.
> Then if you want to get really metal, read in his own words, .... At that point I would say you are ready to try to understand Indian history that is not an avengers movie plot.
Thanks, but I am not planning to charm people with my cool contrarian takes at coffee conversations any time soon. I would much rather watch Avengers like the rest of us simpletons who cannot digest anything more complex.

Please don't cross into personal attack or flamewar. Your post here is a noticeable step in those directions, and we're trying for the opposite on this site. (I'm not saying that the parent comments were perfect either but degrees matter.)
