Gujarat model of using epics as facts in education
by confuzzled dude Sun Jul 27, 2014 11:53 am
The BJP government enforces the values of Indian epics as a source of 'facts' for subjects such as History, Geography and even Science in the state of Gujarat. Despite the roaring anger against saffronisation of education, the BJP dominated Gujarat's new list of subscribed books for primary and secondary education has established that it will stick to its own decisions. The circular regarding the new "nationalist" books was circulated amongst 42,000 schools across the state.
Amongst the books listed for compulsory reading for the students appears the book Tejomay Bharat. It criticises America for taking credit for stem cell research and promotes Dr Balkrishna Ganpat Matapurka, who was inspired by the Mahabharata legend of Gandhari and the birth of hundred Kauravas.
“We know that television was invented by a priest from Scotland called John Logie Baird in 1926. But we want to take you to an even older Doordarshan… Indian rishis using their yog vidya would attain divya drishti. There is no doubt that the invention of television goes back to this… In Mahabharata, Sanjaya sitting inside a palace in Hastinapur and using his divya shakti would give a live telecast of the battle of Mahabharata… to the blind Dhritarashtra”. — Page 64
“What we know today as the motorcar existed during the Vedic period. It was called anashva rath. Usually a rath (chariot) is pulled by horses but an anashva rath means the one that runs without horses or yantra-rath, what is today a motorcar. The Rig Veda refers to this…” — Page 60

Cong (i) and UPA ruled for 60 years the way THEY thought was right - including rewriting history and textbooks.
NDA and BJP have earned the right to rule the way they see appropriate. They are well within their right to do correct whatever they feel needs to be corrected or taught.
Those opposed are welcome to bark like dogs for 5 years and see of you can bite NDA and BJP - to re-re-write everything all over.
Till then Chup.
