NCERT's new class 9 textbook now cites the Manusmriti while discussing the status of women in ancient India, and describes the Vedic period as one in which women were often accorded a "high and respectful position" in society.
it also attempts to sanitise the varna system by suggesting that the four varnas were originally conceived as functional categories and only gradually became associated with fixed social roles.
this anti-women, anti-life, dehumanising text is now being introduced into school education.
welcome to India, 2026. this is what the saffronisation of education looks like. softening oppressive structures, and reshaping historical memory.
as @rajuparulekar says, the project is not even a Hindu Rashtra; it is Brahmin Rashtra.
My biggest pet peeve about this whole debate is.
Why are upper class people who don’t even send their kids to govt schools are so much raged about this issue?
Whats the underlying issue? Why are you so emotionally invested in this ? Where is this all anger and frustration coming from ?
You obviously didn’t care when there were worms found inside the food ? You didn’t care when Teachers were stealing the food ?
So why do you care about eggs now ?
