There have been calls from Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah that Indian history as we see it in our books and records is distorted and this needs to be corrected. There is no doubt about the first part of this statement since most Indian history is projected prior to our Independence through British and/or foreign eyes. Thus it introduces a slant or bias which is favourable to the colonialists.
Therefore this needs to be corrected. But the manner of doing this should be through an objective and impartial basis since in the process of re-writing our history we should not over-correct the bias and swing the other way.
With the explosion of social media it is easy to perpetuate this wrong history and like they say if you keep repeating a lie a thousand times it becomes the truth. Thus, it is best that a Board may be set up to revise Indian History which can take a correct view and project it in an appropriate manner.
