NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON INDIAN HISTORY
[Mathew Auld liad composed his famous lines with refer-
ence 10 a particular context. He had the Bodtha and similar
Hind sages in mind when he wrote the following famous lines
‘he bast bowed low before the blast
In patient dzep disdain;
She let the legions thunder past,
‘And plunged in thought agai.
tte did the poet saspect that his tribute to linda spiritual
ity would be twisted to embellish an imperialist version of Indian
history aceotding to which the “meek Hindu” had always been
preoccupied with sterile speculations, and seldom stood up im
defence of his country and culere
PERVERSE VERSION OF INDIAN HISTORY
‘This version of Indian history was tormulated by 2 few
misinfarmed or motivated Biitsh historians. But many indus
participated in populurising this version in the mistsken belief
that they were thus proving the superiority of India's “spiritual
culture” over the materialisue cnlization ofthe modem West. In
‘duc course, this became the standard lore taught in our sclooks
1s uader the system of education sponsored by Chris
Cian missionaries and British bureaucrats. The same system of
education has not only continued alter independence but has also
multiplied manyfold. It has spread this version af Indian history
to larger and kirger segments vf succeeding generations. Muslim
and Marist “historians” have promoted it with an ever increas-
ing zeal, They may not have any use for Hindu spirituality. But
they find this version of fdian history very convenient for ad-
vvancing their imperialist causes.
In the process Indias history has become history of for
sign invaders -— Aryans, Inns, Greeks, Parthians, Seythians,
Kushans, Arabs, Turks, Persians, Portuguese, Doteh, French, and
Tbrsh — rather than a history of the greatest civilization which
he world has known, and later on of Hinds beroise which
Fought and ubiatelyiruswated all foreign invaders. tndia itself

fous humanity rather than an ancient and indivisible Hinde
howneland. nian people have become co

society which is trying ta reform itself and reclaim seme of is
fortunate sections aliented from it by successive waves of
'slamis, Christian and inndern Western imperialism, And Indian
culture has become a mechanical mixture of odds and ends, in

Ut was this version of Indias history which gave a good
onsclence to the British imperialist while he pulverised Hind
ciety, plundered Hindu wealth aud poured undisguised com
tempt on Hinds cule. It was this version of India's history
‘lich enusculaed Hindu society and ennbaldened the residues

with presious pans of the Hindu homeland, thus consolidating
in agetession which had not succeded even though mounted
‘gain and again for mote than a thousand years. Iti this version
of Tndia's history which is being invoked by the fith-columns of
‘Slam, Christianity, and Communism, each of which looks for
‘ward to a final conguest of this country with the help of foreign
finances and, if need be, foreign firearms. Aud itis this version
Of India’s history which is being promoted by power hungry
politicians who soo the Muslim vote-bark while they divwle
Hindu society into mutaly hostile camps.
