In the BJP ruled state of Maharastra and Rajasthan, a systematic effort is underway to erase the significance of the Mughals in India from the history textbooks in schools. This is beyond outrageous! This is a dangerous attempt to turn the impressionable minds against the composite nature of Indian culture. Why stop at merely altering the text books? I suggest they should take the next logical step and remove all of the physical manifestations of that period. They should blast the Taj Mahal, the magnificent Humayun's Tomb, should destroy the Jama Masjid and must bulldoze half of Delhi. And yes, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi should also consider giving his Independence Day speech next week not from the ramparts of the Red Fort, for that is also a Mughal creation, but from the RSS headquarter in Nagpur.
