Necessary to teach our heritage to the new generation ! – Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak

Our culture is our cultural heritage. We should teach the new generation what this heritage was. The culture of ancient people was never taught.

‘India made a lot of progress during the Mughal rule !’ – Nawab Iqbal, Former Education Minister

Samajwadi Party MLA and former Uttar Pradesh State Secondary Education Minister Nawab Iqbal Mehmood said, ‘The BJP Government is doing everything it can against the Muslim community, but what will happen by omitting the curriculum from history ? How can we forget that India made a lot of progress during the Mughal period ? These things are being done by BJP only for vote bank politics. The history of the Taj Mahal, Red Fort, and Qutub Minar is not only limited to India but the whole world knows that history’.

Editorial Viewpoint

Commendable decision by Yogi Government in Uttar Pradesh ! Glorification of the invaders in the textbooks should be stopped across the country by taking such decision !
