M. Venkaiah Naidu today said historians should be committed to truth and called for an ‘objective re-evaluation of Indian history through fact-based research. Stressing the need for greater academic rigor in historical research, he cautioned against "selective or incomplete accounts of Indian history". He said that retelling historical facts through an ideological viewpoint will provide a distorted view, as was done under the colonial rule. Instead, he urged historians to strengthen ‘scientific writing of history with the help of specialized bodies like the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR).
