The Vice President, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu today called for an objective re-evaluation of Indian history through better fact-based research. Suggesting that the colonial perspective of India's past has distorted facts, he called for a fresh approach to Indian history, with more books on Indian freedom fighters and leaders.
Releasing the book 'Gandhitopi Governor' by the Chairman, Official Language Commission, Andhra Pradesh, Shri Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad at Upa Rashtrapati Nivas, the Vice President said "distortions" about India's history need to be removed and a faithful dispassionate recounting of facts is needed for the younger generation to know about real history in its authentic form.
