Welcome to KHOJ: The search to know our roots and understand the meaning of our existence.
Prejudice is the biggest problem in the society. It can be it in terms of religion, cast, sex, skin-colour, status etc. Prejudice can also be in form of the feeling that human beings are the greatest creation, or even patriotism about artificially created borders. The motto of KHOJ is to gain knowledge and break that prejudice. But there is a word of caution for the readers. To break the prejudice KHOJ might throw upon you the concepts it believes in. If the reader believes on KHOJ’s perception without question, then KHOJ itself might incept a prejudice in the readers mind thus failing in it own motto. KHOJ is trying to break its own world of prejudice, but at times that prejudice might get reflected in its writing. Please do challenge them.
India has a rich and interesting history, taught to us in a
very boring way. Even though we used to run away from our history teachers,
there was a message that we all took from our not so pleasant history lessons. The
lesson was: “Our elders had sacrificed a lot, and fought hard for our
independence; they earned it from the cruel British”…and we believed them. As
we grew older we learned history from other sources, and realized that the
reason we earned freedom was far more complex than just the efforts of our
elders. Though victorious, British were left wounded after World War II. The
victory in World War II was mostly due to the efforts of Russia and USA, while
Britain was left drained out of energy and resource. The grand empire was crumbling like a cookie,
and they were not strong enough to keep their prized possession, India. And we
also learned that, while the British rule in India was cruel, not all British
were. So, was the history taught to us biased? Should we be ashamed?
