On India First, the debate centres on the revision of NCERT history textbooks for Class 8 students. The new curriculum details the brutality of rulers from the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal era, covering the massacre at Chittorgarh, enslavement, and destruction of temples by emperors like Akbar and Aurangzeb. Proponents argue these are long-overdue factual corrections to provide a complete picture of India’s past, including indigenous resistance. However, critics express concern that this framing could instigate and sow hatred in young students. A Congress spokesperson stated, "History is to educate, it is not to instigate. What do you want our class 8 child to have a revengeful feeling, to have a vengeance or hatredness inside him?" The discussion also explores whether this is a balanced historical representation or a move driven by a political agenda, with NCERT stating the changes aim to develop critical understanding based on academic sources. #indiafirst #ncert #history #itwebvideos #mughals #akbar #aurangzeb #indianhistory #textbookrow #education #historydebate #factcheck #delhisultanate #indigenousresistance #marathas #sikhhistory
