Thoughts after 8 days in Chennai Book Fair 2010

Every year when I visit Chennai Book Fair, after coming out this is what I feel.

The books we have read in our schools are a part of Political Propaganda by the politicians of India.

We have a set of books which portrays the following as too GOOD.

Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Nethaji, Ambedkar, Kattabomman, Vedas, Epics & Spiritualism

But there are always dark side for everything. There are books which reveals that dark side.

The Good we learnt at the school are said to be BAD & The BAD we learnt in tht school are said to GOOD.
