What would you say about Winston Churchill being celebrated as a hero while, Indians who are aware of the atrocities committed by him well call him a monster and an equivalent of Hitler?

Shouldn't the British children be taught about the atrocities committed by British because, if you talk to general British public, they think that the British Raj was benevolent & a very good thing happened to the Indian subcontinent.

I’m not sure at all what that has to do with music; but since you bring up a historical topic then let’s discuss it.

Historical figures should be treated within academia in a holistic fashion, neither as heroes nor villains but as people who accomplished things.

Whether or not an act is good or evil is something that a history class shouldn’t seek to teach. That should be left up to either the minds of the students, or more pertinently to an ethics and philosophy class.

As someone who took the later, I must say I leaned more about good and evil in ethics classes than in history.
