The contents of high school history books in ICSE are just shocking. They are full of glorification for the Nehru-Gandhi family, factually wrong, and against Hindus. Amit Thandani has taken the pain of exposing these people. Here are his series of Tweets:

From cover to cover, Hindus do not exist in history of 6th ICSE. Aryans wipe out civilizations and impose caste, Buddhists and some Hindus.

5000 plus years of Dharmic civilization have been wrapped up in 40 pages flat. Entire 300 yr dynasties wound up in a single paragraph.

In one chapter on Hindus of medieval India, no less than eight references to caste system. They’ve hammered it deep, Hinduism means caste.

Re-read the series of tweets, you’ll find distortions with deeper meaning each time. Bhakti saints supposedly were against idol worship!

Romila Thapar is one of the most biased and anti-Hindu historians. She even went to the extent of supporting Umar Khalid and Khaniyya Kumar for aiming to divide and finish India. Do our children have to be forced to read from books which praises such biased people?
As the new HRD Minister, Prakash Javdekar should take steps to abolish such defunct and nonsensical books and save our children from further damage.
