Removing lessons like Mughal history, Gandhiji’s assassination from textbooks is a fast implementation of the project of Hindu Rashtra
Strongly resist the distortion and communalization of Indian history
-Revolutionary Cultural Forum (RCF)
The lessons related to the Mughal period, mass movements, Gandhiji’s assassination, emergency and secularism have been removed by changing the NCERT textbooks by the fascist BJP government. Talking about the pressure of the curriculum on the students at the time of Covid, they first reduced the syllabus by 30 percent. Now these already removed lessons are removed from the new books forever. In June 2022 itself, many lessons were removed from the textbooks on a large scale.
The director of NCERT says that there is nothing new in this. All the changes were made last year itself as per the recommendation of experts. But they try to hide it cleverly that the Political Science lessons of class 12th students Removed from the above text is a well-planned part of the “Hindurashtra Project” of the world’s oldest and biggest fascist organization RSS.
In this context, the decision of NCERT to remove the above lessons from class 12 textbooks is completely under the policy of “saffronisation”. It should also be seen in the wider context of the emergence of “historical distortion/denialism” and the “falsification” of history, whereby history is rewritten to deny the validity of the factual and documentary record. This is an old pastime of fascists in Europe. Which is now adopted by the Sanghi Manuwadi neofascist forces of India.
Therefore, deleting the above chapter from class 12 textbooks is in line with the ideological-political requirements of RSS neo-fascism today, and is in line with the saffronisation agenda enshrined in the National Education Policy-2020. We appeal to all progressive cultural organisations, teachers’ organizations and students’ organizations to unitedly resist the campaign of distortion and communalization of India’s history under the project of Hindu Rashtra.
