NCERT to provide two new books on Babu Jagat Singh

Varanasi: The National Council of Educational Research and Training will make available two books titled, 'Babu Jagat Singh, the Forgotten Leader of Banaras' and '1799, the Role of Babu Jagat Singh in the Untold Story of the Indian Freedom Struggle and the Discovery of Sarnath', in its library. They will be sent to the textbook production committee of the council and available evidence will be incorporated in the books. In his letter to former BJP president, Murli Manohar Joshi, NCERT director, Dinesh Prasad Saklani, said both books would be available in NCERT libraries to raise awareness about Indian freedom struggle and truth of the discovery of Sarnath. Joshi wrote a letter to NCERT director, noting that Sarnath stone slab was revised according to research by the department of archaeology and conservation, Heritage Bhawan, New Delhi. He emphasised that this was important information that must be imparted to Indian students. Joshi also mentioned that this served as certified evidence of how Indian history was distorted during British rule and it would inspire students to explore history from Indian perspective. Patron of Jagat Singh Royal Family Project, Pradeep Narayan Singh, praised the steps taken by NCERT to reveal the untold truth of Indian freedom struggle. The ASI corrected erroneous data related to Babu Jagat Singh inscribed by British authorities on the plaque at the Dharmarajika Stupa in Sarnath and installed a new plaque.
