BJP Rule Reverses Education Process into Regression and Myth
We are in an epoch where A.I
(artificial intelligence) technology is
taking precedence over science
and technology. Under such
circumstances any government will
take steps to meet this challenge
by advancing our science and
technological education process to
that end, to prepare the students
towards the advancing science and
technology.
But the rulers of the NDA
government ruled by B.J.P, directed
by R.S.S. and bigoted communal
forces has chosen to reverse the
education process in to regression
and myth by introducing pseudo
science and myth in education in
the name of “instilling pride and
awareness about India’s fabled
past” in to the minds of engineering
students through 3,000 technical
colleges in India and thus it moots
that the “students are not swept off
their feet by advancements of
science and technology in the
west”.
On one hand, the NDA rulers
make agreements with foreign
governments and MNCs in the
name of inviting FDI and
a flimsy reason. It is undeniable
J
that AAI had surren-dered to social
media targets. The trolls have
called him “anti-national” and an
“urban Naxal”.
But the A.A.P government in
Delhi has offered Mr Krishna an
alternative venue on the same day
in the nation’s capital asserting the
democratic ethos.
All these incidents warn about
the danger of fascistic attacks by
Hindut communal forces in
numerous forms endangering the
entire society and its fabric. These
incidents seriously warn about the
immediate necessity of a
consistent and strong movement
that shall appose and defeat these
Hindu communal forces at all costs
in the interests of the humanity
itself!

technology in to all sectors of public
life including defence sector, the
key sector of Indian sovereignty
and on the other hand they
aggressively attempts their
‘communal agenda’ and to create
their type of ‘nationalism’. Thus they
are subserving the interests of
imperialism at the same time to
establish their type of “Hindu
nationalist” state in India.
In such a bid of implementing
their agenda, they made All India
Council of Technical Education
(AICTE) to approve the introdu-
ction of a book called “Bharatiya
Vidyasar” (the essence of Indian
education) published by Bharatiya
Vidyabhavan as a part of syllabus
in the technical colleges through-
out India under A.I.C.T.E from the
next academic year.
This book of “vedic science” to
be introduced is edited by Dr Sashi
Bala. This book is supposed to
have been vetted by a committee.
This book claims that Rigveda talks
accurately of the speed of light and
that the veda talks too of the theory
of gravitation much before Isaac
Newton was born. It also claims that
saint Agastya invented the
electrolysis to produce Oxygen and
Hydrogen from water. It also claims
that he was not the only saint in
ancient India to be gifted with rare
scientific insight. That Rishi Kanad
is said to have discussed different
types of motion including the laws
of motion in “Vaiseshik Sutra” long
before the world of science
became familiar with them”. The
book also claims that “the Vimanika
Shastra was written by Rishi
Bhardwaja about 5,000 year ago.
It is an authoritative text on not just
construction of airplanes but also
on navigation, aviation fuels and
pilot operation”.
Dr Shasibala claims that the
introduction of such a book is in
accordance with the “right to know
Indian knowledge systems” and it
inculcates
“Shastrabuddha”
(scientific thought) among the
students.
But academic community
opines that such claims are nothing
but “fanciful”. They are demanding
that the ‘pseudo scientific’ be
withdrawn as reference book. They
rightly express their fear that the
book would cause teaching
misinformation to thousands of
students. They call this introduction
of the said book in college of
technology is nothing but an
extension of the attempts to toy
with history (by the communal
forces). The book will harm future
generations confusing them. They
also warn that this kind of thing
amounts to reversing the education
process by producing myth and
that it is extremely disastrous
pedagogically. They also warn that
such an approach towards educa-
tional process will only produce
morons.
As the satirical saying goes
ridiculing the orthodox hypocrite
Hindu bigots that “everything
(every knowledge) is in vedas”,
now the aggressive Hindu
communalists are completely
distorting history, as was done by
the Nazism and fascism in Europe,
to the narrow political gains of their
agenda by chanting false claims in
the name of vedas and their so-
called supremacy in science. This
is a dangerous move that would get
the entire nation towards
regression by its tomfoolery leading
to the ruin of social fabric of India.
It is not only the duty of
academics but of all the patriotic
and progressive forces of this
country particularly the progre-
ssive students movement to
vehemently oppose and fight
against these hypocritical, farcical
and regressive moves and attempts
to push the society in to myth by
the bigoted Hindu communal forces
under the umbrella of B.J.P’s
governmental power!
