So history is written by people in different times and areas. It is but obvious that there will be varying/ conflicting ideas/ facts. It is necessary to know them all to make an informed decision. Since we are concentrating on school students in this forum it is necessary to deliver/ present the facts that are provided in the prescribed text books. Our education system is marks oriented and that the students will be given only if correct facts AS PER THE PRESCRIBED TEXTBOOK is provided in their answer sheets. But I would also suggest that the students are given the alternate view as well. It helps in the long run.
