NCERT removing chapters inconvenient to Modi regime: Yogendra Yadav intv

Yogendra Yadav has long been an outspoken critic of the government. In this interview, he discusses the heated controversy surrounding NCERT textbooks and his decision to threaten legal action against the institution. Mr. Yadav shares his concerns about the extensive and unauthorized changes made to the content. Even as NCERT stands firm on retaining his name as Chief Adviser, Mr. Yadav’s insights raise essential questions about academic integrity and the influence of political regimes on educational material.
In this latest interview, he is joined by TNM’s very own Pooja Prasanna as they discuss a detailed analysis of the recent 2024 Lok Sabha elections, shedding light on the future of Indian politics, secularism, and the role of media in shaping public perception. His critique extends to the broader educational landscape, questioning the ethical considerations of altering historical narratives and the potential long-term effects on students' understanding of India's past.

We cannot leave education to rot like this in India. All parents in India should start educating themselves about our past history, recent political history and educate their children about facts, falsities and half-truths. Pls encourage children to read books other than textbooks so that children can develop the capacity to discern facts and cultivate an open mind and a questioning mind. This is extremely important for the intellectual and emotional development of children, otherwise our children will grow up and contribute to a hateful, immoral, and fundamentalistic culture.

As a teacher I use to wonder why so many important chapters have been removed. But we teachers can't do anything about it. Very sad indeed. Our future generation don't know our history. Yes during my time Civics was part of the curriculum but strange....when my niece and nephews had no Civics in school. Even in History text books so many things are missing. When I ask my niece who is in Class 7.. who is Akbar, Babur, Chengis Khan, Prithviraj Chauhan,the Marathas, Cholas Chandra Gupta's Golden Period, etc, she doesn't know anything because its not in her text book.

Watching both sides of media to get a balanced opinion, observed this 1. No side talks about their own failures 2. Each side projects only the failures of the opp side, and engage in fewr mongering 3. 55 years of governing 90% of our country has resulted in zero learning for Congress, and they have moronic responses when media houses pushback 4. BJP has its own set of internal issues but instead of tackling them, they are doing what Congress suffers from - too much centralisation. When media confronts, they simply engage in whataboutism of Congress's failures rather than admit their own + chart a corrective action plan. Tl;dr - no side is holier than thou, no media group is without bias. Vote for policies, not persons as they will die one day. Policies endure and transcend. Vote for lesser evil. No neta is (allowed to be) clean.

BJP is viewed as a North Indian - Upper caste - Hindi speaking party who cannot understand the regional equations and diversity. Therefore do not qualify to rule. This is the general image of BJP in Southern India. This can change. People don't see Modi with same reverence as they used to with Vajpayee ji and Manmohan ji. Atal ji was a stalwart leader and inspired trust and respect. Modi is seen as an electioneer like marketeer, profiteer and a maverick politician who cannot be trusted with votes. All exuberance, rhetorics and flurry of promises. He lacks dignity and perhaps good education. Modi = Bluff master; is the growing perception. People are rejecting Modi - Shah type dishonest rhetorical WAVE Politics. DMK challenged BJP openly with anti hindutva- Sanatana - Hindu rhetorics. They routed BJP in TN. BJP TN= 0. Modi likewise pitched aggressively with Infiltrators- NO Reservation rhetoric while riding on Ram Mandir. He lost badly in BJP stronghold. Ayodhya was the icing on the cake. Modi barely saved himself in Banaras. See the contrast between DMK and BJP. Similar approaches yeilding opposite results. Why? What is wrong with BJP? While opposition seemed to learn fast, BJP is lagging. Loss is attributable to poor leadership and lack of sensitivity to grasp shifting ground realities. BJP double engine betrayed Karnataka. Modi-Shah treated the massive mandate they recd as business opportunity to expand business for Gujarat brands, BOB and Amul. Succeeded in the former and caught red handed in later. Shame but not ashamed. Unscrupulous mindset and arrogance on the part of top leadership is making BJP to lose elections in south and perhaps in north India also. Instead of capitalising on many opportunities that have come in the BJP way and growing voter base in the South, BJP is wasting them everytime. Look how Shah misbaved with Tamilisai in public. Amit Shah could be seen sitting next to the Seers in Karnataka in disrespectful posture. Modi downplaying CM Siddharamaiah on the stage. There are many such clips that are shown regularly in the media. How are they supposed to be the leaders of Hindus when they lack in qualities to be expected from a good Hindu. They better abandon Hindu credentials and just be politicians. In politics also, the leadership has been coming short. BJP used Yogi ji and Biswa Sarma during 2023 Karnataka state election campaign and lost badly. These are the leaders from laggard & lawless states. Anti incumbency was a joke after barely ruling for 3 years using defected MLAs. Sr BJP leaders from the state are hardly ever used for election campaign in Karnataka. This time, 2024, BJP used Annamala who is now sniffing opportunity from Karnataka. Already there is one stateless, constituencyless and useless FM, Mrs Nirmala Sitaraman. Right etiquettes, respect and dignity pay off in enhancing public perception. Leaders must educate themselves to learn and internalise diverse cultures, sensibilities of different regions. They must possess good understanding of federalism. Not treat common voter as commodity which can be bought through last minute Road Shows by Modi with showering of petals on him. Flagging off of Vande Bharat is still cheap. BJP leadership continues to misread people's support. It is Lose - Lose scenario. Congress is partially successful in winning the trust of the voters in south despite several set backs from time to time. Rajiv Gandhi payed for his arrogance in Karnataka and Andhra where he removed the CMs arbitrarily. Clearly with Modi at the helm BJP looks certain to lose ground. They are already looking like spent force. They need to renew very quickly. It is possible to consolidate in south with lots of research and localisation. That is a different model from the kind that BJP has set for itself.

[@jitkr1489]
