Editorial Viewpoint

With the support of Congress rulers, anti-National Communists concealed the radiant history of Hindus through school curriculum, and thus, demoralised Hindus while glorifying the Mughal invaders. As a result, many generations of Hindus had neither love & pride for their country nor their Dharma. The appropriate punishment for such anti-Hindu Communists and Congress would be to make them history !
It is necessary to remove the false history and greatness of Mughals not just from CBSE, but all NCERT and other Central Education Boards. It is necessary to educate our children on the correct history of India
