Thiruvananthapuram : Removal of chapters and parts of lessons from NCERT texts are not only denial of history but also repulsive, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. You cannot dismiss historical facts by moving out portions unsuited to you from the school texts. These kind of acts are aimed to accomplish total saffronisation of school curriculum, said CM.
It is apparent whose interests motivate the removal of assassination of Gandhiji and the subsequent ban of RSS, frrom the Political Science textbook of XIIth standard. Also removed for this standard is text portions on the Mughal empire. Study of medieval India is incomplete without coverage of Mughal rule.
The history of medieval India has always been distortment zone for Sangh Parivar. By removing that portion, NCERT gives a vineer finishing to fake history spun by Sangh Parivar. Altering or hiding historical truths does not undo history. What Sangh Parivar is attempting to do is infiltrate young minds with politics of hate and division.
NCERT is adopting RSS’s method of flawing history. That would sabotage secular education envisaged by the Constitution. There must rise strong protest against this, said CM.
