Attempts made to "fabricate and distort history" is a terror of a different nature, general president of Indian History Congress K M Shrimali said, expressing concern over the shrinking space for reason and debate in the country. The sole agenda behind RSS-BJP trying to rewrite history is to create a Hindu nation, where minorities are treated as second-class citizens, he said.
The RSS and the BJP are determined to divide the nation on religious grounds, Shrimali said, adding that history is a discipline of reason and cannot be written with fabricated truths, imagination or myth-making. There are ways of understanding mythology... Not everything which is part of mythology is history... But you don't enter into arguments, you try to bully people. That's not the way to write history," he said.
