Strongly condemning the recommendations of Social Science committee of the NCERT to replace \u2018India\u2019 with \u2018Bharat\u2019, Sourav Ghosh, the General Secretary of AIDSO has issued following statement to the press.
He said, \u201cThe recommendation of Social Science committee of the NCERT to replace \u2018India\u2019 with \u2018Bharat\u2019 in all Social Science textbooks up to Class 12 will destroy the real spirit of education which was envisioned by renaissance thinkers and revolutionary freedom fighters of the country. When the Indian Constitution uses both the names \u2018Bharat\u2019 and \u2018India\u2019 interchangeably, the Supreme Court of
India has twice rejected pleas to rename \u2018India\u2019 to \u2018Bharat\u2019, the NCERT panel is only trying to provoke the Sentiment of National Jingoism again by making such recommendations to divert the attention from genuine problems plaguing the socio-economic system in general and education system in particular of our country.
The committee further recommends to highlight the \u2018Hindu victories\u2019 in wars of the past against the \u2018Mughals and Sultans\u2019 as synonymous with the victory of India which is not only wrong but unhistorical also. The Panel has also recommended for the implementation of the so-called Indian Knowledge System which is detrimental to the scientific and secular spirit of education. AIDSO
believes that these recommendations are done in accordance with the communal \u2018Hindutva\u2019 agenda of the BJP-led central government. Through the NCERT panel, it is furthering outright centralisation of education which is in stark contrast to the democratic aspect of education in our country.
Hence, AIDSO demands NCERT to discard these recommendations as they will destroy the real educational fabric of our country. AIDSO also calls upon all education-loving and democratic minded people of the country to oppose the agenda of the central government to impose its hindutva fundamentalistic ideology on people through education with such recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
