SRINAGAR, May 27: The Gujjar-Bakerwal Scheduled Tribes of Jammu and Kashmir today strongly pleaded to Union Ministry of Human Resources Development to include all rudiment factors of "Gujjar Pritihara Period" (6th-11th Centaury AD) in curriculum books of Indian History prepared by different agencies to taught students reading in different classes.
In a letter sent though Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation-a Frontal Organization of Gujjars to Union Minister for Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal, the community expressed strong resentment against concealing of significant details of 'Gujjar Era' in new books of History published by University Grants Commission and State Board of School Education including the main body- National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). They sought intervention of Minister and demanded a strong direction to all text book publishers including all Boards, University Commissions and Councils to portray an accurate and factual picture of 'Gujjar Era' in India in all books of History prepared by them to taught learners.
Giving details about the communiqué, Dr Javaid Rahi, Secretary Tribal Foundation told that some important parts of History of Gujjar era were missing in the books prepared by UGC, NCERT ,CBSE and other Boards. We have written a detailed letter to Union HRD Ministry for immediate intervention in the issue.
We solicited a direction from Government of India to all agencies publishing books that are used in government and private schools across India as curriculum for immediate inclusion of some significant facts said, Dr Rahi and added that we have also urged to stop concealing the things related to our tribal identity.
