“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed, if all records told the same tale then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.’ The past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had been actually destroyed.” — George Orwell
This is the doctrine that British-intruders followed while plundering the nation for almost 150 years amidst fierce armed resistance and rebellion by all natives throughout the nation. They methodically downgraded or destroyed all marks of pride for Hindu-s, be that 7.5 lakh Gurukula-s raising erudite scholars, Sanatana scriptures, glorious history, natural treasures or whatever they could lay their criminal hands on. It is a chronicle of uninterrupted brutalities that they inflicted upon Bharata while desecrating the nation in all possible ways, in multiple ways. Sustained desecration had such a devastating effect on nations populace that even decades after their forced exit, people in Bharata retain all those obnoxious beliefs, perceptions and continue to be self-abusive and self-destructive. Inferiority complex ingrained in Hindu psyche during sustained British vilification campaigns is yet to be completely eradicated, often raises its head at crucial moments of reckoning. Disastrous economic policies of the last Mughal Nehru exacerbated the murky scenario strengthening the belief that anything linked with Hinduism is reprehensible, must be rejected outright mindlessly. In those days of lives full of hard struggle and existential crisis before masses, people had no patience to mull over national problems to ascertain root-causes objectively.
Books authored by ill-intentioned westerners were prescribed as text-books in educational institutions. Entire narrations were west oriented that wrought havoc on national consciousness. Missionaries like Max Mueller were engaged to write volumes of Bharatiya scriptures and literature from their viewpoint so as to destroy Hindu self-esteem and instill intense inferiority complex. Even indigenous research scholars too, were so much brainwashed that they accepted those distorted Euro-centric versions outright without researching all that themselves. So wrote KM Munshi in his book ‘The History and Culture of the Indian People’, “…reads like an unofficial report of the British conquest and of the benefits derived by India from it. Unfortunately for us, during the last two hundred years we had not only to study such histories but unconsciously to mould our whole outlook on life upon them…Generations after generation, during their school or college career, were told about the successive foreign invasions of the country, but little about how we resisted them and less about our victories. They were taught to decry the Hindu social system…”
British buccaneers floated ‘Aryana Invasion Theory’, a complete fabricated lie with the sole intention of appropriating all extra-ordinary achievements of Hindu-s for themselves and uproot Hindu-s from their own heritage. The theory was eventually proved to be absolutely a canard based of archeological evidences and genetic studies. However, they succeeded to a great extent by sowing intense confusion in nations mind and it has consumed enormous resources to reverse the rot. The term ‘Arya’ referred to cultured Hindu-s while ‘Dravid’ to a given region in southern Bharata. But the sinister British propaganda was so effective that even well-educated ones were not only convinced about it but also had a sense of ‘ego-trip’ in being proud of descending from a western lineage that didn’t exist in reality. With that background in all minds, British proceeded to justify their invasion and intrusion into the country, plunder of nations wealth and planting their own British model of governance. When history enthusiasts like RC Majumdar, Jadunath Sarkar, Dharmapal and Sitaram Goel confronted those Harvard-Oxbridge trained ‘Distorians’ with concrete evidence to refute their Ad Absurdum based on hypothetical notions, assumptions and presumptions, they felt threatened and launched a vilification campaign against them. Same is the scenario with New Education Policy under implementation by Modi Government and RSS under their relentless offensive.
Only if the last Mughal Jawaharlal Nehru had been a nationalist, he would have constituted a broad-based committee free from Leftists and others subscribing to western ideologies to study deeply, research and analyse all education related issues, collect historical evidences and invite suggestions from masses before crafting a comprehensive education policy for the nation. Generations having studied under such a nationalistic education architecture would have been so outstanding that lot many national problems would have been erased without efforts of his Government. On the contrary, generations were fed on Bharatiya history replete with lies and canards glorifying despotic, brutal occupation of the country by Mughal brutes for less than two centuries from Babar-1526 to Aurangzeb-1707. Glorious centuries of Maurya dynasty, Vijayanagar empire, Shunga, Chalukyas, Satvahanas, Gupta, Hoysalas, Chola dynasty, Maratha empires, maritime warfare and expansion upto entire East Asia hardly found any mention at all. Intellectual prowess, scriptures, advances in industry and agriculture never gained prominence in fabricated Nehruvian history of the nation. Bharatavarsha was never allowed by the last Mughal Nehru to have her own narrative based on richest cultural heritage in the world. Generations were taught, we have been a wretched nation with nothing to be proud about and destined to be ruled over by foreign invaders.
One would have expected an ‘author-intellectual’ of ‘Glimpses of World History’ and ‘Discovery of India’ that Nehru purportedly was, would strive hard to ferret out accurate and authentic version of history before the nation. However, what happened in reality was diametrically opposite to that feeding the suspicion whether those two titles were ghost-authored. If true, then writing of false history by ‘eminent historians’ with Marxist DNA, his connivance with them, are perfectly understandable. A very rational question pops up, “What did they gain by emasculating and eviscerating history of its accurate contents ?” It was essential to be a known as an anti-Hindu anglophile to exist in good books of Nehru, then vie for prestigious chairs, assignments abroad, publication of writings in west howsoever sub-standard, invitations to speak nonsense at seminars within Bharata and overseas, national and international awards etc. Nehruvian-Marxist-anti-Hindu-anti-Bharata views commanded adulation and awards. Dishonesty and anti-nationalism were Mantra-s of the Nehruvian era so much so that three generations were deprived of learning about our glorious multi-faceted heritage and the honour of being Vishva-Guru to the world. The last Mughal Jawaharlal Nehru degraded the nation into being proud self-enemies of sorts.
Distorted western perception of Bharata has its roots in ‘Nehruvian intellectualism’ and the herd of Moulvi brand education ministers like Maulana Azad, Nurul Hasan etc. We were projected as a railway platform where invaders alight to become our rulers, Sanatana Dharma as a cult of superstitions, gender-violence, casteism and Bharata as a wily wolf in the garb of a democratic sheep. Time is ripe now to amend laws, hold trial of all such ‘distorians’ and award them rigorous life imprisonments as a modest deterrent for ‘history-entrepreneurs’ of generations to come.
