Table of contents: title: What began with the trashing and pulping of a book on gods and renewed litigation against an Indologist has now taken a more distinct shape in terms of the approach to education itself, most of which seems to project an obscurantist and insular India even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is busy forging bonds outside the country. The manner in which the previous National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government went about rectifying the “errors” in National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks, with the aim of purging them of alleged Marxist and Macaulayan influence, left no one in doubt that school textbooks would once again be a target of the present government in the name of correcting historical wrongs.
