sentences:  When the Janata government of 1977-79 (including the former Jan Sangh) came to power, it blocked the "Towards Freedom Project" of the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) and pressured it to bring its history of books in line with those published by the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.After the Indian History Congress strongly endorsed the textbook writers affiliated with the ICHR, the Janata government encouraged, and initially funded, a new "Indian History and Culture Society".According to scholars Lloyd I. Rudolph and Sussane Rudolph, it attracted a variety of members, including some sympathetic to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and others disaffected from the textbook "establishment."
