UPA taught in History "Prithviraj Chauhan was a 'coward' who ran away to save his life during the second battle of Tarain with Mohammad Ghauri". This was written in Class XI CBSE & ICSE book titled 'Medieval Indian History', published by NCERT in 2005! hvk.org/2005/0705/26.h… (1)
This book published under Arjun Singh's HRD Ministry in 2005 was edited by Communist Prof Satish Chandra. It said that Prithviraj Chauhan tried to run away from the battle, but was taken prisoner, and he was 'punished' by Ghouri on charge of treason. Insult of a valiant king!(2)
It said "Jaichand (generally believed to be a traitor) was, in fact a 'hero' who gave up his life while fighting the forces of Ghauri." UPA NCERT book by Satish Chandra said 'Jaichand's valour was unmatched & that he was killed while fighting the forces of Ghauri in Kannauj.'(3)
That UPA NCERT book by Satish Chandra also denied that the main cause of bitterness between Prithviraj & Jaichand was the fact that the latter's daughter Sanyogita had eloped with Prithviraj & that Jaichand never forgave them. Insult of heros, typical of Congress/Communists! (4)
According to the book, there were major political differences between the two kings and Sanyogita was not part of it. What distortion of history, insult of the great Prithviraj Chauhan, glorification of Jaichand by Communist historian Satish Chandra, NCERT & UPA Govt! (5)
Class 11 book Ancient India History, written by Leftist Prof R S Sharma in 2005 [in the UPA rule, published by NCERT under HRD Ministry of Arjun Singh] discarded the presence of Lord Krishna during the Mahabharata! hvk.org/2005/0705/26.h… Such books were commissioned by UPA! (6)
The book said "Although Krishna plays an important role in Mahabharata, inscriptions & sculptural pieces found in Mathura dating back to 200 BC & 300 AD do not attest to his presence. Because of this, ideas of an epic age based on Ramayana & Mahabharata have to be discarded."(7)
Such 'historians' or rather 'Distortians' gave their unsolicited views on Ayodhya, denying the destruction of any temple by Babur, denying the existence of any temple itself. Today, they deny crimes of Muslims like #Godhra which happened in front of plethora of witnesses. (8)
'Ram and Krishna never lived'. 'Prithviraj Chauhan was “punished” by Muhummad Ghuri for “conspiracy,”' 'Shivaji never faced open battles and won only by “treachery.”' All these were “facts” mentioned in Govt of India textbooks, issued by UPA's Arjun Singh’s NCERT in 2005! (9)
In 2004 NDA lost power. In 2005 NCERT replaced all the text books in schools. Old Communist historians were dusted out of the closet & made to author textbooks. Romila Thapar, Satish Chandra, R S Sharma and et al, authored the textbooks of various senior classes. (10)
“Archaeological evidence should be considered more important than family trees given in Puranas because Puranic tradition can be used to date Ram of Ayodhya to 2000 BC but diggings & extensive exploration in Ayodhya do not show any settlement of the time.”R S Sharma Class XI (11)
All the books introduced by UPA in 2005 went on and on about the greatness of the Mughal rulers, the “strategic” mistakes they committed. Nowhere did they mention the kind of loot, plunder & destruction each of the invader unleashed on the Hindu population & its properties.(12)
(Class 11)“Aurangzeb has been unjustly maligned…the Hindus had become disloyal due to the laxity of Aurangzeb’s predecessors, so that Aurangzeb had no choice but to adopt harsh measures & to try and rally the Muslims on whose support in the long run the empire had to rest.” (13)
Communist historian Satish Chandra wrote this on Aurangazeb in the UPA NCERT book for Class 11! 'Hindus had become disloyal to Aurangazeb, so to please the Muslims, he imposed jazia tax on Hindus.' Has anyone heard such nonsense in the national History textbooks? (14)
Shivaji Maharaj was only a chieftain, according to Satish Chandra edited UPA Class 11 book & Shivaji “conquered Javli from Maratha chief Chandrarao More. The Javli kingdom & accumulated treasures of the Mores were important and Shivaji aquired them by means of treachery."(15)
Shivaji was grudgingly dismissed in 2 pages. Prithviraj in 6 lines. Hardly any mention of Rana Pratap. These books had myth & fiction passed off as history. There was no end to Muslim rulers’ broad mindedness & Hindu meanness! intellibriefs.blogspot.com/2005/09/this-i… [Organiser 24 July 2005] (16)
In those days, in the pre-social media era, the Congress and UPA got away with saying anything. The discredited Marxist historians were employed by them to tamper and distort history, and write such insulting nonsense on Shivaji Maharaj, Prithviraj etc & glorify tyrants. (17)
