Speaking to NDTV about his latest book The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath, Mr Tripathi called for telling these forgotten narratives.
Bestselling author Amish Tripathi has said Indian history has long suffered from a "Delhi bias" that sidelines other powerful empires such as the Cholas, despite their extraordinary achievements. Speaking to NDTV about his latest book The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath, Mr. Tripathi called for telling these forgotten narratives.
"Our history textbooks... they have a latent Delhi bias. Like everything happened between Khyber and Agra, you know, and the rest of India didn't really matter," Mr. Tripathi said. "I'm not denying the importance of Delhi... but it's not the only important thing. And when we excessively focus on Delhi, our understanding of India is incomplete."
