Need To ‘Re-Construct’ Distorted Form Of Indian History: Venkaiah Naidu

Vice-president Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said that there is need to re-correct Indian history, which was distorted by colonial rulers. Addressing the Punyabhushan award presentation ceremony in Pune, Naidu urged historians, archaeologists, linguists and other scholars to come together and re-construct India’s “real history”.

“There is tremendous potential to re-construct and re-correct Indian history, whose distorted forms were presented by colonial rulers. There are many great names like Shivaji Maharaj, Shankaracharya, Rani Lakshmibai and more, whose contributions are not much heard of. We need to re-discover ourselves and present the real history of India to the world,” Naidu said.

The vice-president said that India can become a strong nation only if we do away with the social evils and change the mind set of younger generation by teaching them the rich history of the country.
