All Standard reference books agree that the name 'Hindu Kush' of the
mountain range in Eastern Afghanistan means 'Hindu Slaughter' or 'Hindu
Killer'. History also reveals that until 1000 A.D. the area of Hindu
Kush was a full part of Hindu cradle. More likely, the mountain range
was deliberately named as 'Hindu Slaughter' by the Moslem conquerors, as
a lesson to the future generations of Indians. However Indians in general, and Hindus in particular are completely oblivious to this tragic genocide.
If the name Hindu Kush relates such a horrible genocide of Hindus, why
are Hindus ignorant about it? and why the Government of India does not
teach them about Hindu Kush? The history and geography curriculums in
Indian Schools barely even mention Hindu Kush. The horrors of the Jewish
holocaust are taught not only in schools in Israel and USA, but also in
Germany. Because both Germany and Israel consider the Jewish holocaust a
'dark chapter' in the
history. The Indian Government instead of
giving details of this 'dark chapter' in Indian history is busy in
whitewash of Moslem atrocities and the Hindu holocaust. In 1982, the
National Council of Educational Research and Training issued a directive
for the rewriting of school texts. Among other things it stipulated
that: 'Characterization of the medieval period as a time of conflict
between Hindus and Moslems is forbidden'. Thus denial of history or
Negationalism has become India's official 'educational' policy.
