R Madhavan on NCERT: R. Madhavan is currently in discussion with his recent release film Kesari 2.

When I read history in school, eight chapters on the Mughals, two on the Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilizations, four on British rule and freedom struggle, and there were only one chapter on the southern states – Chola, Pandya, Pallav and Cher.”
A glorious empire, Which is barely mentioned
Madhavan expressed disappointment over the low attention to the Chola Empire in the school textbooks. He insisted that while the Mughals and the British ruled for about 800 years, the Chola Empire lasted for 2,400 years and was ahead in the maritime, whose trade routes reached Rome, he said that their cultural and religious influence was spread to Korea, yet this rich history was reduced to only one chapter.

This decision has created a lot of stir, people are both supporting and criticizing this step.

The easiest way to discredit us is to say that we have taken advantage of freedom. We should not get into trouble for it, because I should not get back in trouble, because it is a fact.”
Demand to white history
