Indian history on UK school syllabus-UK-World-The Times of India

It is reported that from September 2008, the student of secondary education in Britain learn that there was not something good about British Empire.

Kevin Brennan, the children's minister, said: "Although we may be ashamed to admit it, the slave trade is an integral part of British history. It is inextricably linked to trade, colonisation, industrialisation and the British Empire".

Apart from that, it learns that how did British occupy India.

It will deal with questions like, "How was it that, by 1900, Britain controlled nearly a quarter of the world?"

No doubt, one of the definition of history that it is a collective consciouness and consciousness sometimes leads to some realizations also.
