Excerpts from K K Muhammad’s “I’m Indian”
A few decades ago, at the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Professor Irfan Habib summoned his former student and now faculty member, K K Muhammed, to his office. Muhammed had discovered the Ibadat Khana in Fatehpur Sikri.
A few decades ago, at the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Professor Irfan Habib summoned his former student and now faculty member, K K Muhammed, to his office. Muhammed had discovered the Ibadat Khana in Fatehpur Sikri.
Built by Akbar in 1575 CE, the Ibadat Khana was the place where various religious scholars held discussions. A major discovery, this was reported in various newspapers, something which Prof. Habib was not too happy about. The conversation went as follows:
Irfan: “This is not
Irfan: “This is not
Ibadat Khana
Muhammed: “No? Is this not Ibadat Khana?”
IH: “What you gave in Times of India is not Ibadat Khana.”
M: “How can you say that? Are you an archaeologist?”
IH: “I may not be as good an archaeologist like you.”
M: “Sorry, you are not an archaeologist.”
Muhammed: “No? Is this not Ibadat Khana?”
IH: “What you gave in Times of India is not Ibadat Khana.”
M: “How can you say that? Are you an archaeologist?”
IH: “I may not be as good an archaeologist like you.”
M: “Sorry, you are not an archaeologist.”
Habib was speechless.
He pushed a paper towards Muhammed and said, “write what you discovered is not Ibadat Khana”. Muhammed refused and walked away.
When KKM got admitted at AMU, he was elated to have Irfan as his teacher & pretty soon realized there was no impact from him.

KKM’s aspirations was blocked by Irfan & his cabal since KKM didn’t ally with Marxism.
KKM didn’t get to do research, but Habib’s man who scored lesser marks was selected. KKM with no other option went to study PG Diploma in Archaeology.
The Habib grp could cause career damage.

They controlled the purse strings. They could decide who got scholarships or who would be admitted as researchers. If you were not part of his group, you were branded communal. Independent thinking was anathema. But if you joined his group, you became “Secular”.
Another case was when someone with lesser marks and no PG diploma was given the post of Assistant Archaeologist instead of him. Muhammed also had evidence against a false accusation that Prof. Habib had made. While Muhammed said all of this, Prof. Habib sat with his eyes down.
Muhammed writes, “His behavior towards me changed, but I was sure he would stab me at the first opportunity.”
Muhammed was finally selected as Deputy Superintending Archaeologist at the ASI. According to Muhammed, Habib met the Director General of ASI & asked him to reject him.

The DG replied that it was a UPC selection & he didn't have the power to reject it.

Then Habib had one final request. Don’t post him in Agra. (What if he discovers something else). Muhammed was posted to Madras Circle. But he would visit AMU for lectures and then efforts
were made to block them.
The only place where they were successful in blocking him was at JNU (no big surprise there), but everywhere else Muhammed was able to speak freely.

According to Prof. MGS, Habib has poisoned not just history but culture and social life by his narrow
groupism, nepotism and treachery.
According to Muhammed, it was during the Babri Masjid dispute time that Habib’s mask of secularism came off. As the head of a government body (Indian Council of Historical Research), he should not have taken sides in the dispute.

People saw this as an effort to increase his influence by taking sides with the Muslim side in the dispute. The one historian who had the courage to say that the head of ICHR should not take sides in the dispute was Prof. MGS, who initially had a great opinion of Irfan Habib.
He even disagreed with Muhammed on his opinion of Prof. Habib.
But Once Prof. MGS worked with Habib in ICHR, he realised the truth of Muhammed’s statements. Not being able to work with Habib, he left ICHR. Very soon Prof. MGS was branded with the Hindutva label.

After the
Ayodhya Verdict by SC, Habib along with 39 others, went for review petition claiming that, the existence of the Babri Masjid is a fact that has been historically documented while the existence of the Hindu Mandir on which the Babri was built is merely a belief of the Hindus….
This after all evidences.
In fact, Habib mounted a forceful campaign that the Treta Ka Thakur inscription was stolen from Lucknow museum & placed at Ayodhya on 6th Dec 1992. In 2002, he alleged that the Vishnu Hari Shila was a plant and it belonged to a private collection.

At the Ind History Congress 2006 he said that inscription has been surreptitiously removed frm Lucknow museum & paraded as a find from Babri Masjid.
Eventually, through pictures it was established that Treta Ka Thakur & Vishnu Hari inscription found are distinct epigraphs.

It created Chaos among Lutyen Circles, in his own words
“What I had written must have been common knowledge among Lucknow journalists, but due to
laziness or ideology, they had never given it any play. Whatever the reason, I thought it was poor—if not unethical—journalism. So all I had done was bring something which was well-known locally into the national limelight—that it was quite evident that there had been an older
(and much larger) Hindu structure under mosque, I had not even said that it was a temple.”
After the story was published, among others, Habib wrote to Vinod Mehta denouncing it.
His cabal also organized a meeting at the Delhi Press Club addressed by some leftist historians.

When Arif Mohd Khan started speaking about this issue and touched upon the protests against the CAA, Irfan Habib went bonkers and got up from his seat to physically stop him.
