Prime Minister Shares Senior Journalist and Former MP Swapan Dasgupta's Article on Official Platform, Highlighting Efforts to Reframe Indian History by Removing Binary Perspectives

The Prime Minister recently shared an article by senior journalist and former Member of Parliament Swapan Dasgupta on an official platform, underscoring his efforts to reshape Indian history by eliminating a binary perspective. Dasgupta explained in the article that the current presentation of history often becomes divided into opposing poles, affecting national unity and a holistic outlook. In this context, the Prime Minister cited several government initiatives, such as updating the history curriculum in the National Education Policy, expanding digital archives, and encouraging multi‑perspective research in various educational institutions. These steps aim to free history from political or cultural bias and incorporate broader social realities.

Dasgupta’s article also emphasizes that rewriting history is not limited to academia; it is reflected in public memory, museum exhibitions, and the reevaluation of national monuments. The government has adopted a policy of collaborating with various states to involve local historians and educational experts, ensuring that the cultural heritage of different regions receives equal recognition. In this process, digital technology—such as AI‑driven document analysis and online educational platforms—is helping make the multi‑dimensional aspects of history accessible.

Experts believe that eliminating binary thinking and redefining history is a crucial step toward strengthening social harmony and national identity. Given the ongoing efforts in this direction, the government has pledged to prioritize more inclusive and fact‑based historical writing in the future, so that the younger generation receives a balanced and progressive perspective.
