In a clear attempt to distort history of India’s freedom struggle, the Nagpur University administration – apparently under the influence of BJP and its parent organisation, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) – has decided to teach RSS’ role in “nation building” by revising the second-year BA History syllabus.

As per the new syllabus, the University administration has introduced a chapter on RSS’ role in “nation building” in the fourth semester of the second-year BA History syllabus.

Earlier, the syllabus had a chapter on the “rise and growth of communalism in India” discussing the role of RSS, Hindu Mahasabha and Muslim league. After the revision, this chapter had been removed.
