But what is Central Government’ NCERT gift to Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj ?
http://www.hindujagruti.org/activities/campaigns/national/ncert-textbook-controversy/ • In the text book of NCERT for Standard 7 ‘Our Past – ll’ there are only 5 lines on Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj. • 60 pages given to Mughal’s history and Mughal rulers who made the Hindus slaves. • Not even a single photo of valorous Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj is printed. The place for the photograph is left blank. • While the photos of atrocious, tyrannical Muslim kings, Babar and his descendants starting from 700 AD are printed. • No mention of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja’s ‘Hindavi Swarajya’ but it is just mentioned as ‘local government’. • No mention at all of Maharana Pratap who had fought with Mughal sacrificed the leisure of royal palace and used to sleep on the grass like ordinary people. My comment: Why this NCERT people denigrate Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj? I don’t know. May be because of convent education. Shrikant Vinayak Barve Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
