Islamabad: Pakistan has now started the work of spreading false information related to the history of the Indian subcontinent in the world. This time Pakistan’s Ambassador to Vietnam Qamar Abbas Khokhar has claimed that Takshshila University was not India but part of ‘ancient Pakistan’. Khokhar claimed on Twitter that Taxila University was in Pakistan and scholars like Chanakya and Panini are also sons of Pakistan. However, this claim of Khokhar was rejected by the Twitter users and they are being trolled a lot.
Khokhar tweeted an alleged picture of Taxila University and said, ‘This is an aerial picture of Taxila University which has been rebuilt. This university was present near Islamabad in ancient Pakistan 2700 years ago. In this university, students from 16 countries of the world used to take higher education in 64 different subjects, which were taught by scholars like Panini.
However, after this claim of Khokhar, people started trolling them on social media. People questioned that if Pakistan was not there before 14-15 August 1947, then there would have been no question of its history. People said that Chanakya was a minister of King Chandragupta Maurya of the Indian subcontinent and the capital of his kingdom was Pataliputra (Patna). This area is the state of Bihar in India.
Pakistani diplomats spreading lies
Khokhar, in spite of being a troll, tweeted another and said that Panini, the world’s first linguist and Chanakya, a world-famous political philosopher, were both sons of ancient Pakistan. According to experts, Pakistan has been teaching such false history in its school books for a long time. Indian history is taught in these books as the history of Hindus.
Students are told that there is a big opposition in the basic beliefs of Hindu-Muslims, due to which the partition of Indo-Pak took place. School books have been continuously written in Pakistan to please the ruling class. Education is being given on the basis of said and heard bypassing the authentic facts in books.
