The first distorted fact about our history is the perception made by our history books that the Britishers established their rule in India, because the people were fed up with Indian rulers. The common people did not protest the overthrew of Indian rulers by the Britishers. This perception is true only with Bengal. The british rule was established in India through the Bengal province. The britisher fought the battle of Plassey 23 June 1757 to overthrough
Siraj-ud-daulah. In fact, the cowardice of Bengali people was not repeated in other states. The history of Haryana suggests that british military had to fight in every village to take over their control. The people of Haryana fought hard and even the british soldiers armed with weapons were frightened to come to village alone. However, NCERT history books only carries the image of Bengal invasion. Further, our historians do not give the name or incidence suggesting the rule of Jats in the country. We are called “Kshtriyas”, however, I never read anywhere in my school books that any Jat ever ruled in the country. Our NCERT books only tells that the Jat people were goons residing around Delhi. Further take the case of “Tejo Mahalya” thread discussed at Jatland. Why nobody ever tried to find and establish the truth of Taj Mahal. Nobody discuss the contribution made by the Haryanavi people in freedom struggle except the instances of some congressi Brahmin and Baniyas. Further, who tells us the truth about the establishment of the Congress? Our history books regard the congress as an Indian political party engaged in freedom struggle. However, the truth is Congress was established by a british officer just to foil the freedom movement. Their idea was to make a group of rich and elite, but power hungry people of india and associate the feeling/struggle sentiment of people with them, so that instead of handling large masses, they had to just cajole a few greedy people by giving them false sense of respect and authority in the Govt.
Where did our NCERT books any incidence of brutality inflicted by the Britishers/Muslims on our people? In fact our books laud the british raj for development work. If the incidence of the brutality is brought to the public, the people shall forget the name of Hitler. The Hitler was nothing in cruelty in comparison to the Britishers/Mougals. Our NCERT books defame the Hitler by giving the incidence of cruelty with pictures, why do not it give the same treatment to the Britisher?
What was Khilafat Movement? Our NCERT tells that Khilafat movement (1919–1924) was a freedom struggle by
Muslims in
British India. However, the reality is that it was a khalifa movement. The muslims tried to influence the
British government to protect the
Ottoman Empire during the
aftermath of
World War I by this movement. The Ottoman empire was governed by the Khalifa, however the britishers partitioned the empire and several new independent muslims states emerged. The independent muslim states were quite happy with the partition. However, the Indian muslim were against it, so they protested. And what was their manner of protest. Thousand of Hindus were beaten to death, cut down to pieces, women were raped and torn off by the muslims. The muslims were protesting against the britishers by making atrocities against the Hindus. Why our history books do not show this ugly realty to us? Who was Mr. Nehru? Where did he come from? What was his surname? What was his source of wealth? Nobody answered.
In fact, there are so many facts concealed by the Govt, giving a totally different picture of our history, then representing any reality.
