India's history has always been written to suit a political purpose. The Nehru family (and their cabal of left historians - ideologically influenced by the former USSR) has deliberately tinkered with our history since independence, and the holier-than-thou stance of the article is extremely hypocritical. You only realize how much is manipulated when you start ploughing through the original reference material. The evidence of a whitewashed history we've been fed all these years is damning.
