Romila Thapar Criticizes Removal of Mughals from Textbooks

Romila Thapar, a famous historian, recently spoke at an online event called the Kerala Literature Festival.

She said it's not a good idea to remove chapters about the Mughals and other important historical periods from school textbooks.

She believes history is like a long story that should be told all at once, not in pieces.

She also warned about the problems of learning history from social media instead of professional historians.

Thapar has written many books and has been studying history for a very long time.

She thinks it's important to include different perspectives, like those of women, when teaching history.
