Episode 3 of our mega series tracing the Marxist destruction of Indian History begins with the Marxist takeover of existing institutions of history research and writing after India attained Independence. In this endeavour, they were tacitly assisted by India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
The reign of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad as India's first Education Minister was also a big factor in seeding the distortion of India's real history. The notable fact is that Marxists met with little or no opposition to their efforts at institutional capture and subversion.
After Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister, she appointed a committed Marxist named Nurul Hasan as Education Minister. He gave a free run to the Marxists who eventually monopolised history departments across the board. The infamous Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR) were established under his watch. With this kind of stranglehold, Marxist academics began revising history syllabi on an industrial scale and prescribed distorted Indian history textbooks to schoolchildren. The distortionist template had already been set in the 1930s by prejudiced historians like Mohammad Habib and others.
A fundamental element of the Marxist distortion of Indian history is its deliberate misrepresentation of the history of the Hindu spiritual civilisation with a long term view of turning the whole Hindu society and India into a Communist country. Do watch and listen to the whole podcast that provides priceless insights and rare anecdotes not found in the usual mainstream narratives on the subject.
