2002 Gujarat Riots Were Not 'Anti-Muslim', Teaches New NCERT Class XII Pol Science Textbook

[Spring Onion]

You can add the Orissa massacre of Christians where about 500 Christians were killed, were not anti Christian riots, but it was a routine, you can name it any religious obligation.

An Autralian priest with his son was burnt alive in Orissa and the total number of Christians killed exceeded 500.

The problem with the Indian Hindu hardliners is that they are punishing their own fellow Muslims for atrocities of invaders committed hundreds of years back.

Were 1984 riots anti-Sikh riots?

Yes

No one is punishing anyone. Just stating facts does not mean its hatred.

 

[The_Showstopper]

Yes

Aawh so 1984 riots are anti-sikh but 2002 was not anti-muslim... Sanghi logic at best

Aawh so 1984 riots are anti-sikh but 2002 was not anti-muslim...

[ranjeet]

Nope, it wasn't.

 

[Super Falcon]

Anti Muslim riots? Nah, it must be called Godhra Train Burning and it's aftermath. It must tell people WHY and HOW Muslim mob burned Hindus alive.

Even if one Muslim did it lets suppose who gave Hindu the license to kill and rape thousands

 

[The_Showstopper]

Nope, it wasn't.

Please explain how?

 

[ranjeet]

No one gave license to anyone, many people got convicted and are undergoing punishment for their participation in the riot.

 

[Spring Onion]

Yes

I do not know where in the world other than India stating facts means killing Muslims.

 

[ranjeet]

Please explain how?

Explain what? That the book itself say it was a riot not genocide?

 

[911]

I do not know where in the world other than India stating facts means killing Muslims.

You are confused. I am talking about History books .

I don't think Gujarat Riots were a revenge for Somnath.

2002 Gujarat Riots Were Not 'Anti-Muslim', Teaches New NCERT Class XII Pol Science Textbook


The 2002 riots which left over eight hundred Muslims dead will be simply known as 'Gujarat Riots' in Class XII political science textbooks under the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT).

According to Hindustan Times, the NCERT has decide to remove the "anti-Muslim riots" reference in the revised textbooks.

The change will be made in a Class 12 textbook, published in 2007 during the UPA-I government.

In the current textbook it is mentioned under the subheading, “Anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat”, in the book’s ninth chapter titled “Politics in India since Independence”. Official estimates say about 800 Muslims and 250 Hindus were killed in the riots which were triggered by the death of 57 karsevaks returning from Ayodhya by train.

Earlier, NCERT Director Hrushikesh Senapaty had said that textbooks were not being revised and they were only reviewing the books in a systematic way.

"Revision of books and curriculum framework is a policy decision which will be taken at the level of the HRD ministry, and it is a massive task. What we are doing right now is reviewing the books, which is to plug the gaps," he told The Times of India in a recent interview.

These books were created in 2007 and there is a lot of information that needs to be updated." NCERT said it was ready to supply books to all CBSE schools and that scarcity of books was artificially created.

True. It was not anti Muslim. It was anti human.

See, we are only trying to be secular.

This should be sped up - the so called Hindu Govt. has done nothing in removing the Leftist rot in the education system. The lessons of the Arab invasions to atrocities of the Sultanates and Mughals need to be incorporated. Stories of the Asom rulers, Marathas, Sikhs should be included. And history should be made more interesting compared to the mug and vomit system that exists today.

No one gave license to anyone, many people got convicted and are undergoing punishment for their participation in the riot.

Sometimes just say no.

Nope it wasn't a "riot". It was Sikh Genocide.

This should also be taught. It was a genocide. We need to stop whitewashing history.
