Schoolkids are taught what this dynasts decide they should be taught. I got a shock of my life when my 12 year old daughter started defending actions of Shahistekhan, badgering Chhatrapati Shivaji in the same breath. This is reason enough for #DynastyMuktBharat
When we found out what my daughter is thinking, we sat down and re-taught her real history. I can't say for sure that she has changed her opinion, but at least we started this discussion. Shocking. But true. And about time our education is cleansed. #DynastyMuktBharat
Another gem from my daughter's thinking which obviously came out of her books is that Aurangzeb was a saintly man, who only wanted to ensure his reign was protected from onslaught of Shivaji's uncalled for attacks. Thus defending his turf was Aurangzeb's right. #DynastyMuktBharat
According to same books, Babur was not an invader, he came as protector - for Ibrahim Lodhi. What's wrong in him wanting to rule when he was protecting? Sad that the whole generation is radicalised by the mainstream education. I want this #DynastyMuktBharat and want it today.
I know as I continue to talk to my daughter, some more gems will be revealed. I will sure post them for everybody's benefit. I suggest everybody speak to their kids about it and learn their point of view. More often than not the outcome will be shocking.
