Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has defended the revision of NCERT textbooks to include lessons on Mughal-era atrocities. He stated that for a long time, school books focused on glorifying Mughal rulers while their wrongdoings were brushed under the carpet. Kalyan referenced the Jaziya tax, a levy on Hindus, stating, "For being a Hindu, you have to pay taxes as a Hindu, just to accept, to practice." He questioned the praise for rulers like Aurangzeb while highlighting the need to also speak about their atrocities. Kalyan commended figures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and asserted that the textbook revision was essential to present a truthful account of history to students.
