At this juncture of Post-independent India, we are witnessing various discourse emerging around the historiography of the Indian past, especially from the quarters of the Hindutva political spectrum. The existing scenario compels one to be informed about these discourses with a clear perspective of historiography and undercurrents in the realm of history writing. Some of the long existing historic narratives are being challenged while others are going through paradigmatic changes in the hands of ruling regimes. Attempts are made to reorient historical facts with mythological stories and fictional narrations. In the history textbooks, huge amount of misinformation and misconceptions about Medieval Indian history are being spread, while eulogy of a mythical ‘Golden Age’ of Ancient India is becoming excessively incorporated in the curriculum. It can be reinvigorated only by serious academic endeavours as well as by developing alternative approaches of counter-narratives. Those endeavours must approach history through a politically-conscious academic perspective of Hindutva agendas, advancing diverse histories of marginalized communities and acknowledging syncretic/pluralist histories of people.
