#BreakingNews | The Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) has initiated a major project to study Indian history using vernacular and regional-language sources, prompting widespread debate after reports suggested it could lead to a "rewriting" of Indian history.

Supporters argue the project could make Indian historiography more inclusive and representative of diverse regional perspectives. Critics, meanwhile, have raised concerns about methodology, interpretation and the potential implications for history education.
