"How Can You Change History?: Nitish Kumar's Snub To Amit Shah

We have many empires but historians have concentrated only on the Mughals and wrote mostly about them, Amit Shah said recently.

In yet another snub to ally BJP, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said he doesn't understand how anyone can change history. "History is what it is, how can anyone change it?" he said when asked to comment on Home Minister Amit Shah's remark that it's time to revisit history books as historians have focussed only on Mughals so far, ignoring other glorious empires. इतिहास के पुनर्लेखन की भाजपा की माँग पर ⁦@NitishKumar⁩ ने दो टूक शब्दों में कहा कि जो मौलिक इतिहास हैं उसको कैसे बदला जा सकता हैं ⁦@ndtvindia⁩ ⁦@Anurag_Dwary⁩ pic.twitter.com/OYK7lyJbBL

"Will you change history then? I don't understand how one can change it. History is history," he said, amused, when a reporter asked what he thought of Mr Shah's suggestion.

Language is a different issue but you can't change the fundamental history, he said when prodded on the Home Minister's insistence that Mughals have been given disproportionately more importance in history books.
