Stop Teaching Rotten History

Reclaiming India’s Civilizational Memory from Colonial Distortion

For generations, history has been taught not as remembrance—but as reduction.

Stop Teaching Rotten History is a bold, evidence-driven examination of how India’s past was systematically distorted through colonial frameworks and how those distortions continue to shape education, identity, and self-perception today.

This book does not argue from emotion or blind pride. It argues from continuity, memory, archaeology, ecology, philosophy, and lived civilizational evidence.

Dinesh Chandra Rawat challenges long-standing academic assumptions and inherited narratives, asking uncomfortable but necessary questions:

• Is history ever neutral?
• Why was India’s timeline artificially shortened?
• How did colonial education break civilizational memory?
• Why were rivers like Sarasvati declared “mythical”?
• How did speculative theories become textbook dogma?
• Why are Indian knowledge systems treated as belief rather than intelligence?

Rather than presenting history as a sequence of invasions and rulers, this book restores history as civilizational consciousness—rooted in rivers, rituals, festivals, ecological wisdom, oral precision, and philosophical inquiry.
