Gehlot Accuses BJP of Downplaying Tribal History
Imagine that the stories about important people and places from the past are taken out of the history books.
That's what Ashok Gehlot, a former leader, is saying the current government in Rajasthan is doing.
He claims the government is removing stories about tribal heroes and places like Mangarh Dham from the school books.
Mangarh Dham is a special place for tribal communities, like a place where important historical events happened.
The government is removing this important history, according to Gehlot, who believes it's unfair and wants the stories put back.
The Prime Minister is visiting the area soon, which Gehlot says makes this situation more important.
Ashok Gehlot accused the Rajasthan BJP government of undermining tribal contributions.
Gehlot cited the removal of the Mangarh Dham chapter from a Class 4 textbook.
Mangarh Dham is a significant site for the tribal community, often called the "Jallianwala Bagh of Rajasthan."
Gehlot mentioned the removal of a chapter on Veer Kalibai as another example.
Gehlot demanded the reinstatement of tribal history in the school syllabus.
