Dont corrupt the children's minds with too much of history. Let history be dealt with as a specialization subject in the graduation and post-graduation in Arts.
History till 12th standard should be barest of bare minimum because historians areFuckedUp and biased!!
Instead concentrate more on languages, science, mathematics and extra-curriculars like sports, dance and music during the school-education.

Read what many educationalists (there are so many eminent ones whose writings are available on the net) have to say about teaching history !
Once you are through with reading a few of them, you will understand that you have just made an utterly stuxpid statement !

Who are 'them' ??
If you are so nervous about the motives of historians, then are you suggesting that every historian has a motive that is against what would please you ??
Are you suggesting that all historians have the same idealogical leanings ??
By suggesting that all history books are biased, are you saying that there are some books that omit and commit what others dont ??
So, are you in effect, saying that there are historians on both sides (or all sides) of the idealogical divide (divides) ??

1. Any doubts about the motives of the PRE-PAID historians?!!
2. What do you mean "ALL" history books? There is ONLY ONE HISTORY BOOK taught in the schools!!
by Mamata Banerjee..Needs many more reforms in syllabus which is totally irrelevant..Its good to know history but no state should give importance to one particular ideology and keep on teaching the same...It should be 360� approach...
