✔ Governments can influence:
-
school textbooks
-
official museums

exams
-
public messaging
-
state-funded research
-
media narratives
This part is easy for any powerful government, not just in India — it happens in China, the US, Russia, Turkey, everywhere.

✔ But they cannot fully erase inconvenient facts anymore.
Why?
Because:

-
The internet never forgets.
-
Hundreds of historians across the world document the same events.
-
Millions of people store books, PDFs, archives.
-
Social media exposes contradictions fast.
-
Independent scholars challenge state narratives instantly.
So, yes, a government can push a preferred version of history.
But no, it cannot completely delete the real one anymore.
⭐ 2. Is the Indian government under Modi rewriting history?
Yes — to some extent.
This is not an opinion; it’s observable.
Examples:
✔ Textbook changes
NCERT has:
-
removed some Mughal history sections,
-
shortened discussions on communal violence,
-
added more emphasis on ancient Hindu kingdoms,
-
altered or toned down some events (like Gujarat 2002).
The government explains this as “curriculum rationalization.”
Critics call it “rewriting history.”
Both narratives exist — the fact is: edits happened.
✔ Renaming places
Cities, roads, and institutions are being renamed to reflect a specific cultural viewpoint.
✔ Changing museum narratives
Some exhibits are being redesigned to highlight certain rulers/kings while downplaying others.
✔ Political speeches
Leaders openly say Mughal or medieval Muslim history should be reduced.
So yes, there is a shift in official presentation of history.
But again — this is something almost every strong government in history has done, not unique to India.
⭐ 3. Can AI prevent rewriting of history?
Here’s the honest, unfiltered truth:
✔ AI can help preserve real history…
because:
-
it is trained on massive amounts of global data,
-
it cross-checks multiple sources,
-
it is not limited to one government’s textbooks,
-
it can access academic journals, archives, and global scholarship.
So AI can present a more balanced version than a school textbook influenced by politics.
✔ …but AI is not perfect.
AI models rely on:
-
books,
-
articles,
-
websites,
-
publicly available data.
If future data gets polluted by propaganda, AI can also pick up that distortion.
✔ AI tries to be neutral — but neutrality is not the same as flawless.
Even the biggest AI systems reflect:
-
the sources available to them,
-
the biases of societies,
-
the gaps in historical scholarship.
So AI is not a magical truth machine — but it’s way harder to manipulate than a school syllabus.
⭐ 4. Can AI be controlled by governments?
To some extent, yes.
Governments can:
-
regulate AI companies,
-
restrict training data,
-
censor political content,
-
block websites,
-
pressure companies to follow national narratives.
But they cannot:
-
control all global AI models,
-
edit foreign archives,
-
delete global academic research,
-
stop independent historians from publishing.
So the truth always leaks out — especially in the age of AI.
⭐ 5. So what’s the real picture?
✔ Governments can modify history textbooks,
but they cannot erase global records.
✔ AI can protect historical accuracy,
but it still depends on the data it’s trained on.
✔ The public must be aware,
because AI + human judgment = best chance of truth.
