The sad thing is 4 years down the line BJP is still not able to change it.

Young students with impressionable minds read this and then go on to become Kanhaiya Kumars and Shehla Rashids
Well its private. Not sure if government have any control over what should be taught.

Modi is now more about "ek haath mei quran and dusre haath mei computer". So he is busy putting quran in all our hands.
 
Okay this is taken out of context. History, starting in class 6th ICSE teaches about Vedic period and Buddhism also.
Birth of Christianity and the spread of Islam in middle east need not be taught to Indian students as it has nothing to do with Indian History.

Looking at this table of content it seems that there were no Hindu Kings, No Maurayan Dynasty, No Gupta Dynasty etc.

And what does beginning of Modern Age signify? Is it post-independence ? If so there is a big 200 year old gap right there
 
How is that relevant ?
At first it appeared as if their History started with the birth of Christianity, which is not the case. If they are teaching historical fiction as facts in History books then it should be removed without a question. Just FYI the 7th class book I came across had chapter named The rise and spread of Christianity and not The birth of Christianity. Can't argue unless we know what's exactly written in the chapter.

Its covered in 6th grade book.
