Posts Asking Why Something is Included or Excluded from Textbooks Will be Subject to Removal
The type of question mentioned in the post title while being fairly innocuous on the surface, ends up often being a type of agenda posting in practice, with dog whistles being thrown to those believing certain political talking points and the resulting comments section often filled with unproductive and even hateful comments whose tone and tenor are not conducive to productive historical discussions of the past. These posts end up being a type of soapbox for present day political concerns, and are hence violative of the no current politics rule in the sub. To emphasise, this is not to take away from the discussion of difficult and/or less savoury aspects of the history of the Subcontinent, there have indeed been posts in the sub that have and will continue to highlight the same, however what is not being permitted here are posts and titles whose very framing is loaded from the start, making the conversations that follow decidedly unproductive. Hence, such measures have been deemed necessary to maintain the quality of discussion in the sub.
