[BanglaBhoot]

And bout Lungis is the national dress of the Universe....

Good I see you already have had an RSS education.

I don't know what so great about Akbar?

Good I see you already have had an RSS education.

To be honest, groups similar to RSS (but Islamic) are also present in Pakistan. Just like RSS, these groups also try to alter history.

They teach people that Muhammad bin Qasim was the first Pakistani and that Pakistan was formed when the Sindh was conquered by the Umayyad Caliphate. Similarly, they emphasize that the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire were both forms of Pakistan and that Pakistan ruled over India for a millennium. In turn, this view is exploited to justify that Pakistanis built the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort of Agra, Qutb Minar etc... These groups also tend to ignore Sikh rule over modern-day Pakistan and fast forward to British rule directly after the fall of Mughals.

I don't know what so great about Akbar?

The strange thing is that Akbar the Great literally translates into Great the Great.

The coming of Modi.... Every one expected the rise of Hindutva....

 

[Josef K]

does the rss idiot know that bhagat was socialist??
.

Did Bhagat Singh know, that Lala Lajpat Rai, the man whose death he avenged was a Hindu nationalist? Would that have stopped him from avenging the Punjab Kesari? Bhagat Singh's most famous deed ended up being an act of avenging a Hindu Nationalist. Sad, isn't it?

Anyway, in other news: Is BJP replacing Newton in textbooks, or is Indian Express replacing truth with agenda?

....... more importance on Maharana Pratap instead of a Invader like Akbar?

Akbar was born and lived all his life in South Asia. How did he became an invader ?

I am not quite sure but I believe that wolfshcanzze is suggesting that since Akbar belonged to a Central Asian family, he was therefore not a native of India and in turn an invader.

How many South Asian generations does a person need to be considered a native ? Are the descendents of Aryan invaders considered natives now ? Aryans also invaded from Central Asia and destroyed native Dravidian Indus Valley civilization.

He massacred 40000 rajput after seige of chittor, trying telling that to a rajasthani how great he was as for science nobody is changing newton or Pythagoras theorm just a twist buy Indian express for gullible audience

How many South Asian generations does a person need to be considered a native ? Are the descendents of Aryan invaders considered natives now ? Aryans also invaded from Central Asia and destroyed native Dravidian Indus Valley civilization.

Personally, I'd say that I do not have an accurate answer to your question but I'll answer anyway.

It is generally believed that Aryans invaded India from between 4000 BCE - 1000 BCE. Now, the Aryans would've maintained their distinguished culture during the first few hundred generations but after millennium or perhaps maybe centuries, the Aryans would've been assimilated into the local Dravidian populace and became one and the same. In contrast, Akbars grandfather [Babar] was a Central Asian and the Mughals maintained their Central Asian genetics for quite a long time. Even Aurangzeb looked like a Central Asian despite having been born in 1618, which was roughly a century after the start of the Mughal Empire.

Even to this day, one can easily differentiate between one in Northern India and one in Southern India due to the latter having a darker skin tone. I personally cannot do that lol, but I think Indians should be able to.

Another hitjob from presstitutes ??

Is BJP replacing Newton in textbooks, or is Indian Express replacing truth with agenda?

On 7th April, Indian Express via this article announced dramatically that “Akbar, Newton may make way for ‘local heroes’ in Rajasthan textbooks”. The article made claims that Saffronization of School Textbooks would take place at the behest of RSS. The article commented that “Akbar the Great, Pythagoras and Issac Newton would be nudged out”. The most interesting part was this story was run ONLY by Indian Express. Firstpost later curated this same report, but there were no other independent reports on this story.

The problem with the Indian Express story is, in its headline it says “Akbar & Newton may make way” and they reiterate this claim in the body. BUT, if we see the quotes of the Minister in the same piece, there is not a single quote mentioning “nudging” Akbar or Newton or any other “foreign leaders”. From a plain reading, it seems Minister Devnani only wanted to include Indian personalities like “Veer Savarkar, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Maharaja Suraj Mal and Mahatma Gandhi” in History books, who he feels haven’t been given their due in Indian Textbooks. He also says he would like to add “Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya” in science books.

Following are the exact words of the Minister, as per the report of Indian Express itself:

“Why should our children only learn about Akbar, the Great? Why not Maharana Pratap, the Great?, Our children are constantly learning about foreign rulers, mathematicians, scientists et al. Soon after I took charge, I wanted to rework the textbooks but I was told printing had started and making changes would cause a huge financial loss. This year, we will bring significant changes. In science books, we will include Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya. We have to build a feeling of of nationalism in our children.”

As you can see there is not a single quote where the Minister says he will remove Akbar or Newton. This is further established by reading this report in Patrika on the same matter. This report says 5 new chapters will be “added” on the famous characters earlier mentioned by us. There is no mention of any deletion of Newton etc.

All the facts of this case can be summarized as below:

1. Indian Express report is the only report on this issue

2. It claims Newton, Akbar & Pythagoras will be nudged out of text books

3. This claim is not backed by any quotes of the Minister, in Indian Express’s own article

4. This claim is not backed by any other media report

Based on the above, there is serious concern whether the Indian Express report is accurate, or whether they have added their own narrative to sensationalise the issue. It is more dangerous since, just last month Indian Express was caught with their pants down when they tried to communalise Kolkata’s Archbishop’s statement.

There is no doubt that Indian history books should definitely have chapters on great Indian leaders such as Veer Savarkar, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Maharaja Suraj Mal and Mahatma Gandhi. There is also no doubt that Indian education system in most places is in desperate need of revamp. There might be some who may express concern over inclusion of Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya in Science textbooks, but the fact is, the entire world has acknowledged many contributions of these stalwarts in the field of science. There are those who claim everything worthwhile was invented in Ancient India, while there are those who claim nothing ever came from there. Sadly, the truth lies in between the two, and there is no harm in propagating this truth.

We had asked an opportunity to enquire with the author of the Indian Express report, but we are still awaiting a reply.

Lies lies lies by media.... you just cannot replace pythogorus or newton.... its not possible... may be in those literature book where biography of famous personalities are written, those biographies can be altered to introduce bhagat singh netaji subhash etc etc... but you just cant replace newton while teaching physics or pythogorus in math.. or akbar in history...
But definitly works of sushruta, aryabhatta, bhaskara has to be tought.... youngs these days make moronic face when asked about aryabhatta or sushruta....
