I have read my son’s History text book and was shocked to note that out of the
154 pages of the history text book of Std. VII, most of the pages have been
dedicated to the information on barbaric invaders like Babar, Akbar etc
glorifying their rule in India, whereas the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj who fought the foreign Mughal aggressors and established self rule
state has been concluded in just 4 lines without having his single picture.
This proves that Shivaji is relegated to an insignificant position in the
history book.
This distortion of History is an insult to our great heritage and iconic
personalities.
NCERT which worked under pressure from the anti hindu leftist and the pseudo
secular UPA Government whose HRD Ministry was headed by spineless dim-witted
Arjun Singh brought back the history books discontinued by the NDA government
in 2002. In his fervor to please his masters, the HRD Minister had destroyed
the autonomy of NCERT and threw every academic principle to trench.
The blatant distortions of the facts in these text books are authored by
communal historians like R.S. Sharma, Romila Thapar, Bipin Chandra, Arjun
Dev and Satish Chandra etc who are proven to have allegiance to the Marxist.
No civilised country will allow it’s democratically evolved policies to be
destroyed at the whims of a handful of politicians involved in appeasement to
certain communities. The Communists who were supporting the previous tenure of
UPA succeeded with pushing their twisted ideology down the throats of India’s
Generation Next.

-- Samir UmaryeBICHOLIM JULY 22: The Shiksha Bachao Abhiyaan (SBA) - Goa on
Tuesdaysubmitted a memorandum to theopposition leader, Manohar Parrikar seeking
support for their movementfor saving Indian History through the school
textbooks.
It may be recalled that the SBA had earlier demanded the educationdepartnment
to the controversal school Historytextbooks.
The Shiksha Bachao Abhiyaan which is a national organisation wasstarted in Goa
by the teachers when it was noted that the departmenttried to subvert the
Indian History and give priority to the foreignHistory through the school text
books.
The memorandum states that the text books from std. V to X are
highlyobjectionable for several reasons. The verypurpose of teaching history to
students is defeated as there is anabsence of Indian History. The stress is
laid uponMughals and Muslim History. There is just a small mention of some
ofthe Indian freedom fighters and martyrs while agreat deal is talked about the
Britishers and the people who ruled our country.
Most of the students have already started showing disinterest in thesubject as
there is no clarity regarding historicalfacts, there are absurd pictures,
content unorganized and to the pointwith little explanation, no link of
syllabus fromone standards to another, difficult language for students
creatingconfusion in their mind.
The memorandum has also given several examples stating as to why theyhave
opposed the textbooks. It has urgedthe opposition leader to look into the
matter and support the issue.
Parrikar in turn has also assured the teachers that hewould raise the issue in
the assembly.
The team of teachers included SBA convenor, Vallabh Kelkar; members,Bholesh
Naik, Purnima Naik, AmolDeshpande, Govind Phadke, Samir Umarye.
