I think I agree with bold part in @the kaur 's post and I mentioned that in my posts in that thread.

As far as telling truth to your children, I’m all for it but of the view that such history should be taught at higher classes (say after class 8). When you teach a class four student two nation theory, I don’t think they really are in position to appraise. To be very honest, I don’t find students remembering many facts or myths (taught in name of history), they were taught at early age.

In short, its better not to teach than teaching lies.

We have no history lessons in primary, medival history comes in class VII. Pakistan in Class VIII geography.
Two nation theory in modern India, class VIII.
Besides nobody takes Social studies seriously, history is like literature subject for students who mug up and write whatever is in the book, I am sure average Central Board student is good at maths and science than in Humanities. Infact after class X if anyone takes humanities he/she is seen as losers.
My brother used to say, "who says history is interesting, all interesting things are in Chemistry.
When he explained me time dilation, space-time continuum and when I understood how aliens from 20 million lights away are still seeing dinosaurs through telescopes on earth and hence not invading, it makes me think that I chose wrong stream

and if one thinks that this affects our relationship with anyone, well it doesn’t. no Indian hate Iranian for Nadir Shah invasion rather we have good relations with them
