"While compressing three hundred years' worth of Mughal history, for school students, is an arduous task, it is no reason to keep the students oblivious to the crimes and atrocities committed by the Mughals...The people in academia with a soft spot for the Left must realise that everything about the Mughals cannot always be sugar-coated. While a few aspects, like the scale of architecture or foreign trade, for instance, can be taught, to expect a whitewashing of all their crimes or attribution of every innovation to those three hundred years is foolishness," writes Tushar Gupta in an article for Swarajya magazine.
