Coldplay accidentally exposes 'cheating couple' and guess what - they are the CEO and HR of a top Firm 😭😭😭😭 Nothing can fix you!

It’s time to drop the rose-tinted glasses. Give students the full spectrum: ambition and atrocity, glory and grit. Only then can we build a truly critical democracy.

We have every right to challenge today’s leaders. We have the right to criticise a party whose ideology we disagree with. But on this issue, political lines must blur. Embracing full history breeds critical citizens, not ideological foot soldiers.

Some will cry “whitewash,” yet stripping away selective heroism serves no party. It serves young minds, teaching them that power can inspire and oppress in equal measure.

I am no right-winger. This textbook alteration won't change who I vote for. I don't believe this is the most pressing issue in the country. However, I’m happy that more accurate version of history is being presented to kids. If being rational makes you cancel me, go ahead

In seventh standard, I thought “wow, one name, two different people. The world really is a strange place.” I genuinely believed they were two different Aurangzebs: one merciful in textbooks, another merciless in Sikh mythology. Then I realised they’re the same man.

I grew up Sikh, hearing at home how a guy named Aurangzeb offered gold coins for Sikh heads and drove families into forests. Every time I stood up for “ardaas” in the Gurudwara, I heard of atrocities committed against Sikhs, as it is etched in our daily prayers.

In my state-board school in Hyderabad, I learnt that there was a Mughal king named Aurangzeb who was very pious, very peaceful, and ruled with “firm discipline.” His era was peaceful and prosperous.

A prominent footnote insists: “It would be wrong to hold anyone today responsible for them.” But that’s not why I’m okay with it. My reasons originate in my childhood and Sikhism.

In its new Class 8 Social Science book, NCERT labels Babur a “brutal and ruthless conqueror,” calls Akbar “a blend of brutality and tolerance,” and flags Aurangzeb’s temple demolitions and Sikh persecutions.
