Did the Indian National Congress really try to distort the Indian history as claimed by many?
The distortion of Indian history by continued by PM Indira Gandhi which was started by Maulana Azad during Nehru era. The leftist JNU professor Syed Nurul Hasan manipulated Indian history books and Indira Gandhi made him the Union Education Minister to get the support of the leftists. Later he was also Governor of Bengal for long time when the state was ruled by communist leader Jyoti Basu.
This is from the year 1971. Indira Gandhi needed help from the leftists to remain the Prime Minister, so the agreement was that you remain the Prime Minister and give the country's education board to our people. That is why Dr. Nurul Hasan, who had a staunch leftist ideology, was given the post of Union Minister of State for Education. In 1972, these secularists formed the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) and announced to rewrite history. The work of writing history afresh was started by rejecting the books written by eminent historians like Jadunath Sarkar, Ramesh Chandra Majumdar and Shri G.S. Sardesai. Nehru and Maulana Azad removed Ramesh Chandra Majumdar from writing Indian history and put Tara Chand to write a biased hisrory. Dr. Nurul Hasan continued that trend. When Nurul Hasan died in mid-1990s, he was cremated at Delhi’s Jamila Millia Islamia for the vote bank politics and Delhi government announced half day holiday.
It was announced that those parts of history and textbooks would be removed which seemed to be an obstacle in national unity and hurting the feelings of Muslims. While delivering a speech at Aligarh Muslim University, Dr. Noorul Hasan said that the incidents of massacre of Hindus and destruction of temples by Muslim rulers like Mahmud Ghaznavi, Aurangzeb etc. are an obstacle in national unity and hence they should not be taught. The leftists made baseless allegations on freedom fighter Veer Savarkar, like getting released from Andaman's Cellular jail after apologizing to the British and wrote about calling him a 'coward' instead of a brave man. There can be no greater misfortune for the country than that our children are not able to read how Aurangzeb had ordered the massacre of Hindus in the country. A recent Bollywood movie ‘Chhaawa’ depicted some glimpses of the tortures committed by the Mughals on Marathas, Rajputs and Sikhs. Many Sikh Gurus sacrificed their life to protect their beliefs. These writers have written that Gandhi was killed by Nathuram but they did not tell how Guru Govind ji was martyred!
The biggest joke is that there is no board to check what which writer is writing in school books. Someone writes that Ram did not exist, someone writes a story about Mahabharata, but does not mess with a particular religion. Even today, due to the mercy of congress, many leftists are occupying the education board and various university faculties.
Under this scheme, many so-called 'autonomous' universities like JNU were established and handed over to the leftists who are today nurturing the 'children' who spew anti-national venom. In this matter, the central government should relook at medieval Islamic history.
The trend to distort history continued during UPA era (2004-2014). The National Advisory Council (NAC) was Sonia Gandhi's brainchild and it was first set up after UPA-I came to power in 2004. V Krishnamurthy, NC Saxena, Dr D Swaminadhan, CH Hanumantha Rao, Sehba Hussain, Madhav Chavan, AK Shiva Kumar, Professor Mrinal Miri and Jairam Ramesh were members of the first NAC, whose term ended on March 31, 2008.
Mrinal Miri was born in Shillong in 1940, studied his BA, MA and PhD in Philosophy from Presidency College, University of Calcutta and Cambridge University UK. He was a Lecturer in Philosophy at St. Stephen's College under the University of Delhi, before moving to North Eastern Hill University. He was nominated (Christian or Anglo Indian?) as a member of Rajya Sabha from 2012-2016. He has been awarded Padma Bhushan for his contribution in the field of education and literature. He was a member of the NAC and was a member of the council set up for the implementation of RTE act. Mrinal Miri also approved many NCERT history books which school children read.
It is written in the NCERT history book that two sultans - Qutubuddin Aibak and Iltutmish built that tower. Which is today called Qutub Minar.
On this Neeraj Atri filed an RTI that from where did NCERT verify this fact? Who were the people who verified it? On this the reply from NCERT was that
- The department does not have any verified copy.
- This book was approved by Professor Mrinal Miri, who was the head of the National Monitoring Committee.
