How many of your friends know Raha Dahir, Bappa Rawal, lacchit borphukan, the Hindu Shashi Dynasty, Rana Kumbha
Maybe 50% will say no
But i bet 100% of them know Aurangzeb, Akbar, Shah Jahan, Babur, Khilji
So why do we know more about invaders than our brave heroes?
ts not your friends' fault
its our education system's fault,
Akbar 97 times, Shah Jahan, Aurangzeb and Jahangir 30 times
Chhatrapati Shivaji 8 times.Rana Sanga and Maharana Pratap 1 each
Why is this the case: George Orwell said: Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past
This has been case with India for over a hundred years when first the British and then our own political leaders taught us false version of history
Basically made you jump in a diary canal by calling is little Ganga
This created many generations of Indians who grew up thinking their country has never produced anything good and everything they got had come from overseas
We will discuss why its important to change and why in 2023 it might
Hello and Welcome to The Show!
o understand how and why India was mentally colonized,
we need to understand How British Destroyed Indian Education
you may have heard of the Midas touch
Then there's the British touch: Whatever they touch gets destroyed
This was done to Borders, Economy and Education
Bihar and Bengal had over 1 lakh schools in the 1830s, according to William Adam, a British Surveyor
The way every nook and cranny of Patna has a coaching center Madras had a school in every village according to him
G.L. Prendergast, a senior British officer of the Bombay Presidency found there was literally no village without a school
pre british Education system was composed of Gurukuls and Pathshalas
British soon realized that to control India, they need to control minds of Indians:
That had to be done by making Indians completely dependent on the British government: De-legitimize and Demonize the Indian education system and economy
Create an alternate form of Government that provides employment and financial security
Christianize India via education & Job guarantee
The British did this with the help of two main people Max Muller and Thomas Babington Macaulay
In his letter to his wife he explains how his incorrect translation of the Vedas will uproot Indian civilization.
Macaulay explains how idolism will be destroyed in India by controlling education.
After they delegitimized and demonized Indian education they created their own education system in India funding it. It started with English Education Act 1935
To create a population that was Indian in some color but British in Culture
The british also destroyed traditional Indian industries, made millions jobless and shifted all manufacturing and industry to England, making Indians dependent of British government and British goods
Once the population was made depended on the British government for jobs and education. People only educated in English could give the ICS exam
The British Raj also made it mandatory for the Indian government servants to send their kids to convent schools
The British encouraged missionaries to set up schools by giving them land on lease for 99 years for throw away prices such as Rs.1 per annum
Guess what the Church is still the largest landowner in India after the Government
The goal was for an Indian to ahte being an Indian and want to become British. Being British and speaking English became Aspirational
This education system created Raja Ram Mohan roy. This plan was so successful that Raja Ram Mohan Roy considered Sanskrit inferior to English and advocated European Education
South Delhi’s lavanya must be making him so happy in Hell
Even Mahatma Gandhi has acknowledged this fact
Unfortunately this situation didn't get better after India’s independence
How Congress and Left destroyed the Indian Historical Historical Education
The brown Sahibs that were created by the british unfortunately became in charge of India’s education system
It is highlighted by the fact that even the Independent Indian government released a stamp promoting Max Muller:
This is likeCongress releasing a stamp of Modi
Though Nehru believed in Indian languages like Sanskrit which he has mentioned in the discovery of India
he never reformed the British oriented Primary education to create Sanskrit as a link language
Probably Nehru was too busy
It seems Nehru only loved 3 things one Non alignment the second socialist and Edwina
he nationalised education too making it inefficient
who had no experience of running such elite institutions
as a reult of which they suffered
His nationalization of education was despised so much that India’s first nobel winner, when given Bharat Ratna by Nehru smashed it in protest,
compared with China and US, which produces about 4.7 million and 600,000 STEM graduates respectively which translates to about 1,400,000 and 285,095 patent applications
India produces about 2.6 million STEM graduates every year and that translates to roughly 16,000 patent applications
As STEM field was destroyed by nationalizing educational institutes and giving them to Babus, history was given to the left and Islam!sts Like Abdul Kalam Azad
who believed that islam was responsible for civilizaing Hindus
cant expect him to praise Indian civilization
Indira gandhi carries forward this strategy
as she needed the support from communists to maintain power, so she gave unqualified communists like Nurul hasan charge of the important position of education minister
Unqualified, because they had a very clear bias to Hide Indian history
It was this Nurul Hasan who successfully pushed for the creation of the ICHR in 1972, which was meant to give an objective and scientific writing of history
Just like Aftab poonawaal was committed to women’s safety Or Rahul gandhiis committed to winning elections
Nurul Hasan and Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad were also committed to respecting islam
As a result of this India’s education became extremely left leaning and hid the truth of Islamic rule in India the way Irfan pathan hides his wife in a tent
Invaders were given all the attention while Indian heroes and freedom fighters Like Shivajio, Bappa Rawal, Maharana Prapat were barely mentioned
They must be like, should have just converted, at least would have been mentioned in history books then
Not only have these historians installed during Indira gandhi’s tenure presented a false version of Indian history but have directly interfered in Hindus trying to get the Ram Mandir back
Imagine someone hating you so much that not only does he fire you but starts an affair with your wife and makes his son call him Dad
This has resulted in a colonized population that is disconnected from its roots
Where speaking in Hindi in college is low class My Hindi isnt great, but i don’t think that people who speak Hindi are any higher or lower than me
Where Sedish House Mafia, Justin Beiber and Marshmello will draw huge crowds. But watching our folk singers is not cool
Where learning Salsa and Waltz is cool but Learning Bharatnatyam is not so cool
Where loving Akbar is cool but loving Maharana Pratap makes you a Sanghi
We go to the Louvre and the London Museum to see stolen goods but wehn was the last time we went to national Museum where all the stuff is our own?
things changed in 2014. BJP won with a big margin
One of the big promises being made by the Modi government was that The lies about Indian history will be removed and the unbiased, true history of India will be taught to everyone
But since 2014 that promise has had the same fate as our new years resolutions
Many of the same textbooks that teach our false history are being taugh to children even today
Those textbooks are being used as curriculum for the UPSC examinations to select our top bureaucrats
The top bureacrats of the country on which we rely on to formulate and execute important policies, are being taught the distorted version of history
Government has changed but the system is theirs
Unfortunatley most of the world about educating people about their history ahs been done by private individuals, following their passion, and not the government
But all that might change With the National Education Policy
The Earlier education policy focused on universal Access of education. But the NEP focuses on that + Quality of education
Where students will learn coding from class 6. Will be taught in mother tongue till class 5th to reduce fears of Hindi imposition
And report cards will be based on academic and extra curricular
There is an attempt to have Sanskrit become a link language as it will be offered optionally in all levels of education
But in terms of this video, some important points have been made by Dharmendra Pradhan in the NEP
Books are being re-published with new compositions and these books will give clarity to the world about India
A committee has been established to ensure that Students across the country will be taught a corrected version of Indian history
give a new global perspective to India’s ancient culture and civilization in the 21st century
The contributions of many "unsung freedom fighters" from all corners of the country, including the northeast will get incorporated with equal emphasis in school textbooks
also noted that eminent women personalities from all fields, and their contributions, should be incorporated in "regular books" of NCERT
also noted the department's submission to incorporate knowledge of "Vedas" and teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in the school curriculum
I think Indian culture should be given first among equals treatment, as in be a secular society but a Hindu civilization
This is very good news and extremely overdue. But we have heard these promises before. we have heard words. We need to see action
Decolonizing Indian minds even more important than decolonizing our bodies
No matter how strong you make a lion but if in his mind he thinks he is a mouse, then it makes no difference
Modi ji made a promise to the country. I hope Indian government can deliver
