*Historically Interesting & Shocking at the same time.....*

Ask any average educated Indian to name the kings of Mughal period (ONLY 250 years). 99 out of 100 will name them in the sequence - Babar, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb.
.
Now, ask them to name the kings of the dynasties which ruled India for much larger period of time and during whose period(s) India was the "golden bird" and most prosperous country in the world. For instance :

Mauryas (ruled for 550 years),

Satavahanas (ruled for 500 years),

Guptas (ruled for 400 years),

Pandyas (ruled for 800 years),

Cholas (ruled for 1000 years),

Pallavas (ruled for 600 years),

Chalukyas (ruled for 600 years),

Ahom Dynasty of Northeast (ruled for 650 years).

Alupa Dynasty Mangalore ( ruled for 1000 years).

In these cases, may be 1 out of 99 (or not even that) can tell you the name of 3 glorious kings from each dynasty....

Forget telling the name of entire list of kings in chronological order.

Then, people ask me why do I say our historians have selectively hidden, destroyed and buried the part of history which doesn't suit the narrative.

I still remember while there was one chapter on each of these dynasties in class 6 history book, the entire class 7 history book consisted only of Mughals and had one chapter on each of the Mughals from Babar to Aurangzeb - sometimes even multiple chapters on just one Mughal king, all glorifying them.

This is how Indian history has been selectively destroyed in the name of "secularism" by agenda-driven and corrupt Marxist Historians like Irfan Habib, Romila Thapar and the likes of other Islamo-Marxist historians.

Earlier, British had virtually obliterated our own real golden history.

For an average person (not pursuing college degree in history), the Indian history revolves around glorifying the Mughals and Gandhis. There is nothing before and nothing beyond the Mughals and Gandhis.🤭
