We call 1857 as First War of Independence. But independence for whom?? Surely not for whole of India. Then one cannot ignore freedom struggle in Kerala. Actually the King of Travancore had driven away the Dutch in 1750s, more than hundred years before the so-called First War of Independence. And ironically I came to know about this from an historical book by a foreign author. So what we need from a primary and secondary education is just the basics, which every education board in India have failed to address. I remember a contest(on Asianet)where a young lady was asked an historical question regarding Kerala. She couldn't answer and the audience started to laugh. Then came her reply, "Actually I studied in an ICSE syllabus where we have to learn about whole of world and not just about a small state". Do I have to say anything more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734272073696863032noreply@blogger.com
