The Hindu
“Deleting chapters on Mughals from the textbooks will not erase their names.”
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference president Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Saturday, said the Mughal history cannot be erased, while referring to the Centre’s move to drop Mughals from history textbooks.
“History cannot be erased. Deleting chapters on Mughals from the textbooks will not erase the names of Shah Jahan, Aurangzeb, Humayun, Akbar etc.,” Dr. Abdullah said.
He said the Mughals ruled India for 800 years, but no Hindu, Sikh and Christian felt insecure. “Will they (BJP) hide Taj Mahal and Lal Qila? The Humayun’s tomb is of international fame,” he added.
On the Opposition alliance, Dr. Abdullah said, “Opposition unity is the only way forward whether here or at the national level. Parties are coming together for it.”
