HISTORICAL HERESY

HISTORICAL HERESY

Communist historians have harmed India enormously by suppressing the actual facts of history (āvaran), distorting through deflected interpretation (viksheyp) and overall driving the polity to a gradual amnesia of its civilisational past seen from the nationalistic perspective. Highlighting inessentials and suppressing essentials of the bygone years, eras and ages, these motivated Marxists masquerading as messiah of the masses misrepresented our motherland's history to completely confuse the people and make them soft targets for their malefic revolutionary agenda. Empowered by successive Union Governments, these communist historians crowding academia have sidelined nationalistic historians, shelved their works or denied them governmental patronage. Massively outnumbering the nationalistic historians in historical councils and universities, these leftist scholars have denationalised new India by severing her roots with her civilisational past. The result has been a general confusion, lack of pride in our heritage and culture, blind imitation of the West and a hollowness of living devoid of the courage of conviction that defines a strong polity. Long ago Swami Vivekananda had exhorted Indians to write their nation's history from the national perspective. That work has been done by seminal historians like Dr. Jadunath Sarkar, R.C.Majumdar, K.S.Lal and the like but their works were not given patronage, platform or publicity by successive Congress governments at the Centre and in the States. Now that a nationalistic government is at the helm of affairs at the Centre and in 22 States it becomes bounden on them to bring to the fore the true history of India for the due training of our future citizens. The work has begun but its progress seems unsatisfactory.
