The Politics of School Books

Political scientists Yogendra Yadav and Suhas Palshikar wrote to the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) earlier this week, reiterating their demand for removal of their names from NCERT’s textbooks.
Yadav and Palshikar - former chief advisors for NCERT’S political science textbooks for classes 9 to 12 - have threatened legal action if their names are not deleted from the textbooks, their latest letter to NCERT chief D.P. Saklani said.
In this episode of Kadvi Coffee Professor Apoorvanand discusses their disapproval to be accredited by NCERT and their demand to remove their names from the school books.

Brilliant conversation. It’s the best I have heard in a long time on this topic. Thank you. Please come back to talk again on education in our country as such. It’s our most important issue.

[@space-time-somdeep]

Seriously.. being a 90s kids I love this kind of discussion now a days.. Although I'm from Bengali medium and Engineering background, I'm really interested in all kind of social sciences.. You need to make thought provoking books to make this kind of mind for future citizens

[@amandinho03]

Yeah same; I really ended up loving the NCERT History and Political Science books in classes 9 and 10. I had PCM afterwards but now as a STEM sophomore, I plan to go back and read the 11th and 12th standard books.

शिक्षा में राजनीति का समॉवेश शिक्षा को अधूरी बना देता है। राजनीति शास्त्र इसमें अपवाद हो सकता है।

[@critic8134]

अत्यंत सुंदर video है। ये जो किताबें आपने बनायी, क्या इनकी original copies कही मिल सकती हैं?

[@raghubirmalik1111]

शिक्षा का मतलब विषयों का मूल्यांकन ही होना चाहिए, चीजों को परखना ही शिक्षा एक माधयम हो सकती है, विभिन्न विचारों को तुलनात्मक रुप में जॉचने परखने के लिए शिक्षा को महत्व दिया गया जिससे समॉज निर्माण का विस्तार सभय और असभय के रुप में देखने का काम हो रहा है।

[@Soorilee]

Excellent discussion! All the three speakers are thorough in the knowledge of the topic & have articulated their ideas & opinions very effectively. Looking forward to more of such discussions on the topic of Education system of India.

ऐतिहासिक विषयों पर लिखते समय झूठ का सहारा लेना राजनेताऔ के लिए ठीक हो सकता है मगर देश के लिए नहीं।

प्रणाम 🙏 बहुत सुन्दर चर्चा व परिचर्चा आप तीनों महानुभावों ने की। - धन्यवाद। प्रतिक्रिया- अगर सिर्फ अच्छी-अच्छी बातें बतायें या यों कहे कि पूरा सच न बताये तो इतिहास की वहीं गति होगी जो पाकिस्तान में हुई। पाकिस्तान में जब बच्चे बड़े होते है और उसे इन्टरनेट के जरिए सच का पता चलता है तो उनका पुस्तकों पर से भरोसा उठ जाता है।

Still much needs to be done in a palatable way, the example of oral histories which are apart from the royal historian and their book collection written by royal elite like in the recent book I read of South Asia Ocean Studies and Colonial Past which mentioned by own city Bhavnagar, Gujarat and How we still think in terms of colonial kingly pride and eurocentric notion around our oceans in general nation format and missing what we actually did during those time their was inter state trade not just the Silk Road stories. And also the history of sound from Melville de Melon To Hindi of Jasdev Singh which is needed more After so much is written on sports but nothing has come in our textual world from cricketing commentary which actually forms the entertainment realms of students via meme, yt meme reviews, some nationalist meme, Bollywood using cricket and vice versa definitely a baseline must be debated but the selective cutting and making it a khichdi of words is the worst that even their own ideology of Hindutva, I hope confusion isn't their key towards positive citizenry.

During earlier times History books glorified invaders. There was only passing reference to Cholas who ruled for 2000 years. There was no mention of Ahom dynasty which defeated the Moghul invaders. Modi is leveraging this Hinduphobia. Unbiased History should be introduced in schools

[@gurusharan4705]

This regime has driven this country fifty years backward politically, economically, intellectually and pedagogically. It is a curse to our people and our misfortune that we are being ruled by such illiterate people who are deaf and dumb intellectually bereft of common sense and mentally bankrupt. You have rightly used the word "ghatiya karan" in all of our institutions and in every sphere of life. Most of the people like me are totally frustrated and see no hope for the time being. But it's said that the change is a natural phenomenon, so it will not remain the same for long and we will see the light of the day.
