Watch: Row Over Hindutva Historian
Tonight on Left, Right & Centre:
Row over Hindutva historian
Is the BJP government trying to saffronise education and India's history? That's the debate on Left, Right And Centre as prominent historians like Romila Thapar, strongly criticise the government's move to appoint an RSS leaning historian as head of the Indian Council of Historical Research. Are the fears legitimate or are Left leaning historians being hypocritical? Joining us, Ram Guha, Irfan Habib, Yogendra Yadav and others.
Try minor rape accused as adults?
Women and Child Development minister Maneka Gandhi says the government is working to change the law so that 16-year-olds charged with rape will be tried as adults. Should juveniles be tried as adults for heinous crimes?
