Violation of common logic: Kerala Minister slams NCERT's Hindi titles for English textbooks
Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala General Education Minister V. Sivankutty criticised the decision of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to use Hindi titles for English-medium textbooks, describing it as irrational. He accused the central government of "cultural imposition" and of "sabotaging the linguistic diversity of the country."
NCERT reportedly released the new names of books for various classes. Class 1 and Class 2 books are now named as 'Mridang' and a Class 3 book named as 'Santoor'. The Class 6 English book has been renamed from 'Honeysuckle' to 'Poorvi.'
“The NCERT decision is against federal principles and the Constitutional values. It is not only violation of common logic, but an incident of foisting one’s cultural values in such a manner sabotaging the linguistic diversity of our country,” asserted Sivankutty.
The minister argued that the titles in the textbooks are not just names; they shape the perception and imagination of children, adding that English-medium students should have English titles in their textbooks. He opined that education should not be an instrument of imposition but of empowerment and consensus.
He further called upon the NCERT to review and withdraw this decision and urged all states to unite against such impositions.
