Christian and Muslim leaders in India have expressed concern over an initiative to "revise" the country's history in an apparent effort to assert the dominance of Hindus.
According to Reuters, a committee of scholars was tasked six months ago with revising India's history by the government of Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The aims of the committee include using archaeological finds and DNA as evidence to prove that today's Hindus are directly descended from the land's first inhabitants many thousands of years ago, and making the case that the Hindu scriptures are fact not myth.
