The 82nd Annual Indian History Congress began at Kakatiya University in Warangal on December 28, nearly 30 years after it first hosted the premier meeting of historians.
“Telangana is a land for revolt, rebellion that challenges the status quo. We have the legacy of Medaram Jatara, Komaram Bheem, peasant rebellion,” said Thatikonda Ramesh, the Vice Chancellor of Kakatiya University, which is hosting the meeting.
Indian History Congress represents a secular scientific approach to our past, said S.A.N Rezavi, the secretary of the IHC in his opening remarks. “We are passing through very difficult times. History is being reduced to mythology. The Indian History Congress has a great duty to arrest this situation which has been prevailing in our country for the past few decades,” he said.
