Great that someone is at least trying to uncover the truth.I totally agree with the author that there can be no progress unless we understand our history and this history is not at all the history we read in schools, the history we study is a mockery thrust upon us by the former colonial raj and also the brown sahibs who blindly believed in the superiority of the western civilization without even trying to understand what India was all about.
To make a real difference we need to revise what we teach in schools, there needs to be a concerted effort by everybody who has a role in the upliftment of this great country and its lost civilization.
It was quite unfortunate that many important historical facts/concerning Indian past have been twisted/concealed from public by few past Indian leaders for their own personal reasons/convictions. It only proves that India has been a controlled democracy all along. In this internet age of communication facts are spreading faster and hope more truth will come to light in the coming years.
