BJP का सिलेबस प्रोजेक्ट: सवाल हटाओ, गौरव पढ़ाओ | Political Naari by Nivedita

Universities are meant to be spaces where ideas are questioned, debated, and expanded. But what happens when the scope of what can be taught, discussed, or even named begins to shrink? In this episode of Political Naari, Nivedita examines a quiet but significant transformation unfolding across academic institutions in India, starting with Delhi University.

Recent directions from academic committees have asked departments to “rethink” their syllabi. On the surface, this may appear like routine curriculum review. But a closer look reveals deeper concerns. Topics related to gender, inequality, social structures, and global perspectives are increasingly being questioned for their “relevance.” Courses are being asked to drop certain units, change terminology, or narrow their focus in ways that limit how students understand society, history, and the economy.

Economics is being pushed to separate itself from lived realities. History is being encouraged to look inward, with reduced global context. Social sciences are being nudged away from frameworks that explain inequality and power. Even science education is seeing a growing emphasis on heritage narratives, where observation and belief are often presented alongside, or sometimes above, experimental method and evidence-based reasoning.

This episode does not argue against studying India’s intellectual traditions or cultural history. Instead, it raises a fundamental question: should education prioritise pride over inquiry? When certain ideas become uncomfortable and others unquestionable, learning itself is at risk.

By connecting developments across universities, school textbooks, and public discourse, this discussion highlights a broader pattern—one where the boundaries of acceptable knowledge are slowly being redrawn. The concern is not about one syllabus or one institution, but about the future of critical thinking itself.

Because education is not just about what we learn, but also about what we are quietly told not to ask.
