This year's #Nobel in Economics has been awarded to three persons, who have shown how technological innovations drive economy. Indeed, it is profound recognition, but are our bureaucrats listening?

I visited the Chittorgarh Fort when I was 10, on a family holiday.
Have never been back.

But I should.

Because when I checked online, it turns out it’s the largest fort in the world!

Approximate Global Ranking:
🥇 Chittorgarh Fort, India ~700 acres (2.8 sq. km)
🥈 Kumbhalgarh Fort, India ~1,100 acres (4.5 sq. km), walls 36 km long
🥉 Nanjing City Wall, China

Yes, Kumbhalgarh is the second largest in the world.

(Chittorgarh and Kumbhalgarh are fort cities, not boundary walls.
They enclosed self-sufficient communities and were built to withstand sieges, not to demarcate empires.)

And yet, they rarely appear on the ‘must-visit’ lists for global travellers.
They’re not even on the extended Rajasthan “Golden Circuit”:
Jaipur → Jodhpur → Jaisalmer → Udaipur.

We need to tell their stories differently.

“A kingdom that refused to yield. A fort that never fell.”

Illustrate these stories through specialised experiences:
sunset drives along the ramparts, private storytelling sessions, and expanded comfortable accommodation.

We already have a Club Mahindra at Kumbhalgarh, and we’re pleased to have helped build its popularity.
Perhaps it’s time for one at Chittorgarh too.

इतिहास की गलत व्याख्या करना न सिर्फ़ शैक्षणिक सत्यनिष्ठा के विरुद्ध है, बल्कि यह समाज की सांस्कृतिक और क्षेत्रीय पहचान को भी गहरी क्षति पहुँचाता है।

NCERT की कक्षा 8वीं की सामाजिक विज्ञान की नई पाठ्यपुस्तक “Exploring Society: India and Beyond” (New Edition, July 2025) में मराठा साम्राज्य के विस्तार का जो नक्शा जोड़ा गया है, वह ऐतिहासिक तथ्यों के विपरीत और भ्रामक है । यह केवल एक पाठ्यपुस्तक की त्रुटि नहीं है, बल्कि राजस्थान के गौरवशाली इतिहास, हमारे पूर्वजों के बलिदानों, संप्रभुता और वीरगाथाओं को कलंकित करने का एक प्रयास प्रतीत हो रहा है और राजस्थान की अस्मिता के साथ खिलवाड़ है। इतिहास विकृतिकरण का यह प्रयास भारत की एकता और अखंडता की भावना को खंडित करने जैसा है।

NCERT व शिक्षा मंत्रालय को चाहिए कि वे इस गलती को अतिशीघ्र सुधारें। पाठ्यपुस्तकों में तथ्यात्मक सटीकता सुनिश्चित की जाए और राजस्थान की रियासतों को उनके वास्तविक गौरव और ऐतिहासिक भूमिका के अनुरूप जगह दी जाए। क्षेत्रीय स्वाभिमान व विविधता को विकृत करना, चाहे वह मराठी, राजस्थानी या किसी भी क्षेत्र से जुड़ा हो, बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जाना चाहिए। मराठा इतिहास अपने आप में गौरवशाली है, लेकिन उसकी गलत सीमाओं का चित्रण करके न तो इतिहास का सम्मान होता है और न ही शिक्षा-व्यवस्था की विश्वसनीयता बचती है।

यह विषय न केवल राजस्थान बल्कि पूरे देश के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है, क्योंकि यह राष्ट्र की साझा विरासत और विविधता की सांस्कृतिक समझ से जुड़ा है। NCERT और माननीय शिक्षा मंत्रीजी को इस पर तुरंत कार्यवाही करनी चाहिए और ऐतिहासिक सच्चाई को बिना किसी क्षेत्रीय या राजनीतिक पूर्वाग्रह के, न्यायसंगत रूप से प्रस्तुत करना चाहिए।

We had a lab movie screening today of @PictureaSciFilm Gender bias is rampant in STEM but depending on who you talk to some will say it’s no longer a problem 🤷🏻‍♀️ I say drop what you’re doing & watch this if you’re in Science in any way/form/level. BECOME AWARE. It starts there.
