Why are we learning this? By Simran Khatri, Hampton High
In my last two articles, I focused on the effects that the British Empire had on India, including the examples of Jallianwala Bagh - more popularly known as the Amritsar massacre- and the revolutionary that was Udham Singh. However, I’d like to ask the question. “Why did I have to write an article on these two topics to feel as if someone is finally being educated on them?” and “What goes in to deciding our history curriculum and how does that impact students?” in an attempt to find an answer, I interviewed my history teacher (Will Jones).
