Textbooks as weapons? BJP faces criticism over new school curriculum

BJP

The NCERT is preparing a special classroom module on Operation Sindoor. It will cover India’s military and diplomatic response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack.

The module will have two parts. One is for students in classes 3 to 8, and the other for classes 9 to 12. It will be 8 to 10 pages long, sources said.

It will explain how India responded to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Twenty-six civilians were killed in front of their families.

India retaliated with strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This led to a four-day conflict between the two countries.

The NCERT says the goal is to teach students how nations handle terror threats. It also wants to show the role of defence, diplomacy, and government coordination.

A debate on Operation Sindoor will be held in Parliament from Monday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar are expected to speak. The discussion will last three days.

Critics say the NCERT move is not educational. They call it an attempt to militarize the school syllabus. They argue it promotes nationalism over critical thinking.

The NCERT will add a module on Operation Sindoor for classes 3 to 12. This is not education. It is militarization.

The BJP-RSS wants to control young minds.

This move is about power, not history. Children will be taught a one-sided version of events.

It spreads nationalism, not knowledge. The government is using schools to push its agenda. It promotes pride, not questions.

This is not critical thinking; rather, it is control. Other regimes have done the same—Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, Latin America. They rewrote textbooks to build loyalty.

India is now following that path. Operation Sindoor is being glorified without question. The goal is to create enemies and silence doubts.

Dissent is shown as betrayal as the curriculum becomes a weapon. Facts are replaced with stories.
