The 75th session of the Indian History Congress held at Jawaharlal Nehru University from December 28-30, passed the following resolution. THE Indian History Congress throughout its existence has been committed to the cause of the scientific method in history and its pursuit free of any sectarian or chauvinistic approaches. It has, therefore, been perturbed to hear voices being raised in certain influential quarters on the need to rewrite Indian history through an abundant use of ancient mythology and speculative chronology, while fresh myths, like that of Indians originally peopling the whole world are being created. Unfortunately even the prime minister has suggested that in the hoary past Indians had learnt, and then, forgotten, plastic surgery of a kind going far beyond what is now possible. There is widespread belief that soon text books will be revised or rewritten, to inculcate such a strongly misleading and divisive brand of history among pupils in our schools. The Indian History Congress is confident that all genuine historians would stand by the values of their profession and resist interested distortions of our past. It also calls upon all members of the political establishment to refrain from making statements contrary to well-established historical facts. They should understand that loose or irresponsible statements of this kind tarnish the good repute of this country.
