Vice President Venkaiah Naidu today called for an objective re-evaluation of Indian history through better fact-based research. Suggesting that the colonial perspective of India's past has distorted facts, he called for a fresh approach to Indian history, with more books on Indian freedom fighters and leaders. Mr. Naidu called upon the youth to study various facets of India's freedom struggle and imbibe lessons from the lives of freedom fighters. He urged them to overcome the 'divide and rule' mindset that was ingrained in the minds of Indians during the colonial rule and contribute towards nation-building.<br />'' <br />'' He said this while releasing the book 'Gandhitopi Governor' by the Chairman, Official Language Commission, Andhra Pradesh, Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad at his residence in Delhi. The Vice President stressed the need to bring out more books on freedom fighters in different Indian languages as the country celebrates 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav'. He called upon the states to take the lead in this regard and publish books on leaders from their respective regions.<br />''
