Dr. Romila Thapper opposes to see Indian history as caste and religious discrimination.

 In 2002, the Indian coalition government led by the Bharathiya Janatha Party changed the school text books of social sciences and especially history of 6th std which she had authored, because she described that the ancient people were commonly eating beef, and also indicated the Hindu caste system.  The Sang Parivars had included those works into black list to boycott her academic articles.
