Course Correction – The Hindutvafication of Indian Education

August 21, 2014 08:17 PM

Ever since the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-supported government of Narendra Modi has come to power, the Indian Left has been worried sick about a ‘Right’ turn of education, while the Indian Right claims that the current curriculum is Left leaning. 

Evidently, the Left wants status quo while the Right demands a course correction. 

This debate has generated many assumptions. The most facile is about the nature of education in India which most, especially the Right – perhaps based on a few weak lessons on interfaith harmony in school textbooks, think is ‘secular’.
