Lol 🤡..When they Brits came, indigenous schools already existed, funded by local communities. But under the Permanent Settlement (1793) & the Ryotwari & Mahalwari systems, the Brits confiscated the grants, leading to the collapse of these schools.

> Then came the Charter Act of 1813, which legally opened the door for missionaries to enter India not to educate, but to convert. In 1835, Thomas Macaulay’s infamous Minute on Indian Education called for creating a class of English educated Indians to serve Brits. This move replaced Sanskrit, Arabic, and Persian schools with English only institutions.

The irony? The Madras Presidency Survey (1822–25) documented 12,498 schools in 21 districts nearly one per 1.3 villages. William Adam’s Bengal reports (1835–38) found schools in almost every 3rd to 4th village, teaching reading, arithmetic, law, logic, and astronomy. G.W. Leitner recorded 1,600 schools in Lahore district & declared that Punjab was “more educated than England.” Meanwhile, in 1818 England, only 478,000 of 1.25 million children were in school most in Sunday schools, teaching only Bible reading. They were educating indians all this while England had no mass education system of its own until the Factory Act (1833) and Education Act (1870). You came to my land and called our knowledge “absurd” You starved our indigenous education system, deliberately neglected mass schooling, and then had the audacity to claim that missionaries “uplifted” us?
Macaulay, Bentinck, and your British icons made it clear: they didn’t want to educate India they wanted to erase it.

Writing was banned in English village schools “for fear of evil consequences,” and yet you judged our civilization from that height of arrogance?

The Malegaon bomb blast will go down as a textbook example where a scooter was all it took to label a billion Hindus as terrorist in their own country… No solid evidence just a vehicle that wasn’t even in Sadhvi Pragya’s possession anymore..

People talk nostalgically about "social harmony before 2014" ? LOL.🤡
Imagine the social fabric of a govt that thought it was perfectly acceptable to brand Hindus as terrorists just to push the line that “terrorism has no religion.”… Between 2006 & 2007, India was hit by a wave of Islamic terror attacks. The UPA couldn’t control them & Opposition was questioning them on national security... Also with elections around the corner, they desperately needed narrative control & so “saffron terror” was invented & if that wasn’t insulting enough, here’s the 26/11... Kasab was caught live on camera on same day with eyewitnesses. Despite this, Digvijay Singh & his co released a book in 2010 claiming it was “RSS ki Saazish”.
Seriously ? After proofs & a confession from the terrorist himself they still blamed the RSS & promoted “Hindu extremism” & “saffron Terror” ?
Now, what does that say about the intent of those in power back then ?? Meet the man Lt. Col. Purohit, a textbook example of a scapegoat in the name of political balancing. An Army Intelligence officer who infiltrated Abhinav Bharat as part of his duty, with his unit fully aware of his role…. Yet, he was branded a terrorist, accused of sourcing RDX but in 17 years, not a shred of proof surfaced linking him to any explosive, weapon, or violent act.

For this, he spent nearly 9 years in jail without conviction... His only "crime" ? He once met Sadhvi Pragya, who herself was arrested because a scooter once owned by her was found at the Malegaon blast site And after years of humiliation, isolation, and trial when finally acquitted his words were simple, dignified, and telling:

“Thank you for giving me a fair opportunity to serve country again.” 🙏

So when they say “the social fabric before 2014 was intact” … My dear folks, this was their idea of harmony🤷‍♀️

I was looking for the PDF of the updated NCERT Class 8 Social Science book after the recent announcement about corrections. But while searching, I stumbled upon the Class 6 Social Science book & to my absolute surprise, it’s a treasure trove of changes. It's pure gold. The tone, the approach, the cultural grounding everything feels more rooted & relevant. If this is the direction NCERT is now taking, it's genuinely refreshing... 😀

Sharing a few pages from the book here that truly stood out to me:
1. Chapter 3 opens with a reference from the Atharva Veda, clearly stating that the ancient texts of our land spoke about the Earth & climate protection 1000's of years ago. It’s a strong reminder that caring for the environment is not a new or Western concept it’s deeply rooted in our own civilization. 2. Aryabhata’s Quote in Chapter 1: The very first chapter, “Locating Places on the Earth,” opens with a profound quote by Aryabhata (circa 500 CE), acknowledging the Earth’s spherical shape and its position in space... It’s fascinating to see such ancient scientific thought being recognized right at the start of the textbook.

Unlike Odin or Zeus, Rama is shown as a human, with a lineage, kingdom, mapped journey, & a birth chart. Not some abstract deity. So where's the comparison?
If your version of scientific temper means being too lazy to investigate, then your denial is the problem, not the believer’s faith.

> Valmiki gave exact planetary positions at Rama’s birth: Sun in Aries, Moon in Punarvasu, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Libra, Venus in Pisces. Stellarium software confirms that this alignment occurred only once in 25,920 years on 10 January 5114 BCE.

> The Ikshvaku dynasty, to which Rama belonged, is also mentioned in Buddhist texts, and genetic studies from CCMB Hyderabad confirm that the Indian gene pool shows unbroken continuity for over 11,000 years with no signs of the so-called Aryan invasion. > Valmiki described Lanka as 100 yojanas across the sea (~1,200 km), and the distance from Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu) to Sri Lanka is around 48 km across the sea via a chain of shoals, exactly where NASA's satellite imagery shows a man-made structure, known as Ram Setu.

> Studies show sea levels were 3 meters lower around 7000 years ago, meaning the Setu was walkable, just as Ramayana says.

(Funnily the westerners started calling it as Adam's Bridge, which is accepted by these people but as soon as Ram Setu is shown as proof of Rama's example it turns into discussion.)

HISTORY ALERT ‼️

Within 8 years of the Prophet's death in 632 AD, Islamic armies had conquered Persia, Syria, Spain & Egypt. Between 640 - 709 AD they had reduced the whole of North Africa.

But it took them 70 long years to secure their first foothold on the soil of India. Caliph Umar (634-644 AD):- Naval invasion against Thana of Maharashtra & Broach of Gujarat.

Caliph Ali (656-661AD):- Sent 6 armies by land.

All of them were repulsed with great slaughter.
