One praises a terrorist and criticizes the nation for punishing him, another says that he will not rest till the country is divided.
These are scenes we witnessed in the country’s premier educational institute, JNU, in New Delhi. One may wonder what makes them so rabidly anti national. What makes them detest our Heritage? The problem lies in our curriculum which seldom instills any values in the minds of the student. The reason why values like patriotism and nationalism are mocked at by some of the present day students is that the curriculum was designed by those who don’t subscribe to the concept of nation. Majority of our textbooks are written by leftist “intellectuals” who want to run down our country. This is an endeavour which is continuing right from the colonial days. If the minds of children are filled with contempt towards Hinduism and India from childhood onwards, then how will they revere it when they grow up?
The intention of these curriculum designers is to wean the students away from the nationalistic fervour which one would naturally have. And the proven way to do that is foist a diabolical history on them. Nation has history and geography as two constituents in it. The Geography of a nation can be maintained intact only if real history of that nation is told to its subjects in entirety. The lessons that ought to be learnt from the History, the legacy to be revered and followed, the tradition and heritage which are to be fostered and promoted, can be instilled in the minds of the subjects only if it is told to them with a proper perspective. The Jews after their exodus from Egypt got scattered throughout the world.
