The history of India has been misrepresented where prominence has been given to Mughals at the cost of empires such as the Pandyas, Cholas, Mauryas, Guptas and Ahoms, and now “no one can stop us from rewriting it”, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday.
“Those who have distorted our history have done what they had to. But who can stop us? History is not written on the basis of the government, but on the basis of facts. Neither is history confined to history books, but spreads its own light,” Mr. Shah said at the launch of a book titled, Maharana: Sahastra Varsha Ka Dharma Yuddha.
The Minister said that it was time to stand with pride in front of the world, and after several decades “our culture is beginning to receive global acceptance”.
