Congress’s reluctance
NCERT blamed the Congress for accepting ‘partition’. It is also, required nuances. Congress leaders, especially Gandhi and Azad, opposed the partition to the very end. Gandhi went so far that Jinnah should be offered to the leadership of a joint government to maintain unity. Nehru and Patel eventually accepted the division, the only way to prevent endless bloodshed.
Azad reduced the Congress’ impatience, while Ambedkar, in Partition of Pakistan or IndiaThe argument was expressed that it was indispensable in view of communal polarization. Ram Manohar Lohia, in Men convicted of partition of IndiaAll aristocrats – Jinnah, British, Congress and Hindu communalists – responsible, are calling for future reunion through democratic socialism.
The NCERT is historically incorrect and morally suspicious, as NCERT modules to present the untouchable approval of the syllabus to Congress leaders as a writer.
Serious scholarships – from Bipan Chandra and Sumit Sarkar to Musirul Hasan, Gyanendra Pandey and Urvashi Buttia – have seen many interlocking factors that are leading to partition:
• Colonial policies that surround the divisions
• Competition of communal nationalism to be fed to each other
• Leading failure in communities
• Structural concerns of minorities, caste groups and provinces
• Administrative haste that converted political isolation into collective slaughter
Pandey’s Recall partition The fact underlines how violence shaped the national identity and silenced subaltern voices – especially women who were kidnapped, raped or displaced. Hassan A legacy of a divided nation After 1947, while maintaining cycles of doubt, Hindu prominence and Muslim separatism reflected each other.
The truth is complex, is multi-layered-and our students should be exposed to all dirty, confused complexities of the story. The NCERT offering them is an prosecution-shaped cheating sheet.

The revolution ignited by ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ will spread throughout the country: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday that his ‘Voter Abhikar Yatra’ was a revolution that started in Bihar, which was aimed at “not stolen a vote” in the election, but would spread all over the country.
The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha was addressing a rally at the last day of the third phase of his state-wide journey, a rally at Araha, the headquarters of Bhojpur district, which will conclude in Patna two days later.
“Bihar is a land where revolutions have taken place. The response to the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ has proved that another revolution has started from Bihar. In the coming days, it will attach the whole country,” Gandhi said.
The yatra has covered more than 1,000 km in 25 districts in the last few weeks.
Training his guns at the Center, the former Congress president alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP-RSS “serve the interests of the super rich, one of the reasons why they want to suppress the voice of the youth, who have been looted opportunities due to privatization of public sector undertakings”.
“But we have made it clear that the voice of poor youth will resonate across the country, and in Bihar, we will not allow one vote to be stolen,” Gandhi said, which Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav joined the stage, in addition to Bihar colleagues Tejashvi Yadav (RJD) (Sajjad) (soldier).
“Remember, if your vote is stolen, you will be robbed of your future. The right to vote is given to you by the Constitution, which is an incarnation of Mahatma Gandhi and Babasaheb Ambedkar’s ideals. We should protect it,” he said.
