ICHR trying to create falsified memories: KHC
The Hindu
Mapping freedom struggle without recognising Malabar Rebellion leaders criticised
The Kerala History Congress (KHC) has blamed the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) for trying to create falsified memories in the minds of the people by removing the martyrs of Malabar Rebellion from the Dictionary of Martyrs of India’s freedom struggle. Expressing concern and protest over the decision by the ICHR, representatives of the KHC alleged that the move was a continuation of efforts by the right-wing forces to distort facts and promote their vested divisive interests. “The Malabar Rebellion of 1921 has to be placed in the wider context of international and national politics that influenced outbreaks in different regions in India. The alliance between the Khilafat movement and the Indian National Congress coupled with the rise of communist ideas were disturbing developments for the British that made them promote Hindu communal politics,” V. Karthikeyan Nair, vice president of the Kerala History Congress, said.More Related News
