Did you know that the Maratha empire extended from Peshawar in the north west to tamil nadu in the south to bengal in the east?
I didn't know that because my textbook had only one paragraph on Maratha empire

The story of Chola you don't know of
They became a military, economic and cultural power in South and South-East Asia.
Rajendra Chola undertook naval raids on cities of the city-state of Srivijaya,Indonesia and had embassies in China.
All they get is 1 paragraph in our textbook

Our knowledge of Vijayanagara starts only when we visit the ruins of Humpi The history of Humpi's destruction is too secular to be taught in schools🤔

Hampi-Vijayanagara was the world's second-largest medieval-era city after Beijing, and probably India's richest at that time

The idea of ancient india which we have forgotten was so magnetic that it led to similar kingdoms based on Indian culture in South East Asia also
Khamer was a Hindu-Buddhist empire
It ruled over most of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China

In 1025, Rajendra Chola I, launched naval raids on the city-state of Srivijaya in maritime Southeast Asia, and conquered Kadaram (modern Kedah) from Srivijaya.The Chola invasion led to the fall of the Sailendra Dynasty of Srivijaya 
But we should only learn Mughal family tree

I explained a time when India and it's sphere of influence extended beyond borders and continents
We should tell our kids about this
We should tell them how Red Indians in US got that name
How Europeans searched the world for this golden land
We as a country deserve the truth
