Deliberately Changing Indian History .

 

Is It Ethically Wrong to Deliberately Change the History of a Country?

The Complex History of India

India's history is an intricate tapestry of different cultures, religions, and ideologies. Some of the earliest evidence of civilization in the region can be traced back to the Mohenjo-daro and Harappan Civilization, which later became known as the Indus Valley Civilization. The term "Hindu" was originally used by Persians to describe the people living in the region, not by the people themselves1. Throughout its history, India has seen the rise and fall of various empires, with influences from Persian, Arab, Buddhist, and Islamic cultures. The West, including the Dutch, British, and Portuguese, also played a role in shaping India's history.

Before the spread of Hinduism, Buddhism was the dominant religion in India. However, with the rise of Brahmanism, many Buddhist ideologies were absorbed into Hinduism2. The Islamic influence in India dates back to ancient times, with the Persian and Arab settlers bringing their beliefs and customs with them. It is important to acknowledge that India does not belong solely to Hindus, as it has a rich and diverse history that should be recognized and respected.

The Political Manipulation of History

The Current Indian Government's Agenda

It has been reported that the Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has appointed a committee to rewrite the history of India3. This committee aims to eliminate evidence of Buddhist and Islamic claims to Indian heritage, including archaeological findings and DNA research. This decision has been met with criticism, as it is seen as an attempt to shape India's national identity around Hinduism and challenge the multicultural narrative that has existed since British rule.

The Impact on Minority Groups

The Muslim minority in India has expressed concern that the government's actions could make them second-class citizens by undermining the demographic reality that India is a multireligious country. Similarly, the Buddhist community may also feel marginalized, as their historical ties to the region are being systematically erased.

The Ethical Considerations of Manipulating History

The Responsibility to Preserve World History

History belongs to the people of the world, not just one ethnic group. It is our collective responsibility to preserve the rich and diverse history of every nation, as it provides insight into the past and helps shape our understanding of the present. Deliberately altering history to suit a political agenda is an unethical act that deprives future generations of the opportunity to learn from the past.

The Manipulation of Information Sources

There have been claims that certain Wikipedia pages have been manipulated by organized groups, possibly with ties to the Indian government[^4^]. This manipulation of information is concerning, as it undermines the credibility of sources that many people rely on for accurate historical data.

Conclusion

It is ethically wrong to deliberately change the history of a country for political gain. India's rich and diverse history should be celebrated and preserved, not manipulated to suit the interests of a single ethnic or religious group. The actions of the current Indian government in attempting to rewrite history pose a threat to the multicultural fabric of the nation and marginalize minority communities. It is crucial to stand against such actions and protect the integrity of historical records for the benefit of future generations.

   "Mohenjo daro Harappan Civilization started in Pakistan. The later the term change to Iindu valley civilization.
   The term Hindu is used by persians. Note by Hindu themselves.
   The dominance in the region was held by the Arabs Arabs means iranians. The early settlements in the Hindu valley civilization was from Persian that is from Arab. The Hindu ideology as Hinduism as a religion came late in 19th century. Other point is that the Indian the last empire was from Islam. The empire means majority countries in Indian subcontinent was dominated by Muslims.
   Fortunately, for Hindus in India, the west invaded India. I mean as was the waste comprise of Dutch British and Portuguese. Those three Nations from the West invaded India. The luck of Hindus changed. Before that in India, the dominant religion was Buddhism. So called,The Hindus, actually there are no Hindus, the main ideology is from brakmanism. The brakmans got the help of Islamic extremists to destroy the Buddhism from India.as
   I said earlier the Islamic setup and influence already was in India from ancient time from Persia, that is from the Pakistan side. I kindly invite you to study the duration of all the empires who are in India until British period, half of the time dominated by Buddhism and islams.
   You Hindus cannot Buddhist ideology and Islamic ideology into the Hinduism. What finally I want to tell you is. The India does not belongs only to Hindus . The idea of an "empire India " as nationalist movement came in late 19th century. After the British.
   Gandhi thought the separation as Bangladesh and Pakistan will solve the problem, but the problem aggravated. For India Muslim has more rights than Hindus. And also Buddhist also have some rights over India. Recently we saw that the Modi , for Indian government , actually for Hindus, appointed a committee to restart the Indian history and eliminate all roots that lead to Buddhism and Islamic claims ,heritage from Indian history. Those include archaeological evidence and DNA evidence. All are going to be distorted by the Indian government in the intention of making only for Hindus. How funny it is. The Indian government and India ,and Hindus ,should note that the history not belongs to one single ethnic group, belongs to the people of the world not for one ethnic group.
   India should not harm the history of India the sake of the political agenda. Now it is a shame on India. And their people. We have notice that some Wikipedia pages also manipulated by organized groups, I suspect all those groups from the Indian government. This action is interpreted as an effort to shape India's national identity around Hinduism, challenging the multicultural narrative that has dominated since British rule. Members of the Muslim minority in India are concerned that the government intends to make them second-class citizens, as this new interpretation would undermine the demographic reality that India is a multireligious country.
   it is time to stop it.

   there is one hidden issue that is directly responsible for India coming into play. Following my reply is a reminder of Indian history and an argument against Hindu extremism. see following facts.

   1. India's past is made up of many different cultures, religions, and ways of thinking. The Mohenjo-Daro and Harappan Civilizations, which later changed to the Indus Valley Civilization, left some of the oldest signs of civilization in the area.
   2. The word "Hindu" was first used to describe people in the area by Persians(Today Iran, not by the people themselves.
   3. India has had many empires rise and fall over its long past. These empires were influenced by Persian, Arab, Buddhist, and Islamic cultures and faith.
   4. The last Indian empire has an Islamic representation.
   5. Also we know, fortunately for the Indies, for the Hindus, India was conquered by the West. that is the crucial point for Indians to initiate the ideology of Hinduism.
   6. India's past was also shaped by people from the West, like the Dutch, the British, and the Portuguese.
   7. Before Hinduism (actually the ideology of Brahman) took over, Buddhism was the most widespread faith in India. But when Brahmanism became a greater hit, many Buddhist ideas were taken over by Hinduism and assimilated and finally destroyed.
   8. in this case, Brahmans took the support from Mu**lim extremism. so finally with help of Mu*lims they were able to uproot Buddhism from India.
   9. in addition, we kano that Indian culture has been influenced by Islam since ancient times when Persian and Arab people moved there and brought their ideas and ways of life with them.
   10. So, India does not only belong to Hindus, and it is important to remember that. India has a long and varied past that should be recognized
   11. The Indian government, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has reportedly appointed a committee to rewrite India's history.
   12. This committee intends to eradicate evidence of Buddhist and Islamic claims to Indian ancestry.
   13. The objective is to incorporate extra archaeological findings and DNA evidence in support of Hinduism.
   14. This Indian decision has been met with criticism because it is seen as an attempt to shape India's national identity around Hinduism and to challenge the multicultural narrative that has existed since the British colonial period.
