KM Shrimali : Forcing their version of history on others; BJP, RSS

Kolkata, Dec 30: General president of the 78th session of Indian History Congress (IHC) KM Shrimali said on Friday, that few people are trying to force their version of history on others without having enough knowledge about the subject.

The Indian History Congress is committed to the cause of writing secular and scientific history of the country, Shrimali said while addressing the IHC session here.

"On behalf of the Indian History Congress, I can assure you that we fully share your apprehensions about the kind of history that some people are trying to thrust upon us without being competent enough to write about history," he said.

"We are committed to the cause of secular and scientific history," Shrimali said.

Opposition parties have been accusing the BJP and the RSS of trying to "rewrite and distort" the history of India in order to put forward their agenda of Hindutva.
