Photos That Should Feature In Textbooks

There are some pictures speak volumes about our past and each of one of these photographs adds a completely different perspective to some of the most important historical moments. All the history that we learned through school and college will fade into oblivion when you see some the iconic pictures that textbooks never featured. Here’s a collection of rare images that are truly humbling. 

1. When Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose met Hitler and sought his help to support cause of India’s liberation from British Rule

2. A Sikh soldier of the British Indian Army fits a gas mask on a mule (circa 1939 – 1945)



3. This powerful picture some 650 soldiers standing in a formation of  a horses head, neck and a noseband. Around eight million war horses were killed during the conflict while countless mules and donkeys also died.  The act was to pay a tribute to animals that died during the WWI



4. The living logo of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is one of the most iconic images in the world and this is how it was shot. There’s an old urban legend that says that the original MGM lion, named Slats, went berserk while filming the clip of the logo. Rumor had it that he killed his trainer and two other people on the set


5.  Human chess, as the name might suggest, is a form of chess where the regular pieces are replaced by humans and it was played back in 1924 in St. Petersburg present as Leningrad. The black pieces were represented by the Soviet Union’s Red army and the white pieces were being represented by members of the Soviet Navy

Yes I completely agree that pictures should be made a part of history textbooks as they offer a completely different perspective of what we have always thought about history

Yes They must be featured on the textbooks as they pay tribute to ancient traditions, horrific wars and significant events.

yes i completely agree! history would become more intresting if these photos are included. Kids wouls start taking intrest and view this subject as not something "jo ho gaya so ho gaya" but learning from past mistakes.

Ishita Singh MOUNT CARMEL SCHOOL(DWARKA)

I totally agree that these pictures should be made a part of our History Textbooks. We all know that visual learning is a better form of education. There are many pictures in our textbooks already but we hardly assign time to explore them. More pictures should be added in our textbooks and history should be learnt not only by going through the written description of events but also interpreting the pictures from the past.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
