'Your Story' featured Avantika Khanna, 17-year-old who developed 'India Story app' that highlights past of India. App describes, it was the role of 'rulers of the SULTANATE, the MUGHALS, the BRITISH and all those that have left an indelible mark in its history.' #Thread1 
No mention of India's past of great dynasties like Cholas, Cheras, Mauryas, Vijayanagara kings, Ganga, Palas, Ahoms, Mewari Rajputs (forts/temples built by them r evidences) or archaeological sites that tell antiquity of Bharat dating back to 1000s of yrs in description #Thread2
Mention of only looters/plunderers! Neither Avantika nor other people involved with the app r to be blamed. Fault in history textbooks. When we are fed only a 1-sided/distorted historical narrative n when we are taught only about invaders, looters, plunderers, we will #Thread3
end up glorifying them only! Young generation will no wonder download the app and get further infused with the same. That's the reason why #SaffronSwords (amazon.in/Saffron-Swords…) is written - to counter that 1-sided and distorted historical narrative. #Thread4
'Your Story' that features wonderful personalities who r ambassadors of positive change, done wonderful job. So does Avantika Khanna! But how/what we been taught in schools/universities since 70 plus years have left an indelible impact of paralyzed slavery in our minds #Thread5
