A statement by Maya John of Delhi University, one of the signatories, said the historians submitted their response to the panel on July 15. The panel had sought submissions regarding “removing references to unhistorical facts and distortions about our national heroes from textbooks, ensuring equal or proportionate references to all periods of Indian history, and highlighting the role of great historic women heroes”.
