Some martyrs from the northeast who had participated in the freedom struggle against the the British had not found their rightful place in history books and historical writings and this should be corrected, a central minister from the region said Tuesday, Sep 14.
There was considerable resentment against this in the northeast,
Minister for Development of the North East Region (DoNER) Bijoy Krishna Handique said while delivering the keynote address on 'History as a window - Understanding North East,' at the Jamia Millia Islamia.
'There should be some recognition of these unsung heroes...The ways of history cannot be corrected but the inadequacy of historical writing can be corrected,' Handique said.
He said the northeast was a 'complex region' and made 'more complex by lack of understanding of issues'.
