DO YOU CARE TO STUDY HISTORY DULY, MR. CONSTANT COMPLAINANT?

DO YOU CARE TO STUDY HISTORY DULY, MR. CONSTANT COMPLAINANT?

🕉Everybody complains these days, as if by popular feed and fashion, about text books in school curricula not presenting the true history of Hindu oppression at the hands of Islamic invaders and subsequent rulers, and the depredation and devastation of the whole of India by Euro-Christian colonists and imperialists. But nobody cares to read whatever is easily available even now on the subject and all else in the form of purchasable books, in library stocks and what all are freely accessible on the internet. Surely, adults who are apparently so concerned about Hindu history and who do the bulk of consistent complaining ought to read up more before lodging their complaints. That would do sincerity due justice.

Why complain when there is such an abundance of literature already available which a bit of diligent research will easily reveal, and why fret and fume when there is such an abounding apathy in general towards study itself and such abysmal lack of focus with regard to Hindu history and heritage, contrary to claims? You can self-educate yourself and need not wait till kingdom come for school text books to inform you better. After all, how much can school texts teach you? Outgrow your school days, be your own guide, and research to find out the historical truth about the Hindus. Then spread the message. That would be service to the cause indeed!

As for your children, as parents set up before them the ideal of good reading by yourself doing so. Discuss what you have gathered from your self-study with your family, within permissible limits, of course, for the child-mind must not be polluted overmuch with gory narratives of a nefarious kind but must be nurtured to think rationally and without bias for it to mature unto fruitful future discovery of historical truths. This is what my mother did unto me when I was a child, a practice which I consider to be the most efficacious way of rearing the next generation of would be bright and strong citizens, perhaps even budding historians who will uncover the truth about the untold past of the Hindus.🕉
