The problem when societies, or individuals for that matter, start feeling superior to everyone else
And we think here in New York State we have problems with a state-imposed curriculum?
According to a report in the New York Times, India’s students had been studying hard for a big test on cows, as part of a new government-imposed curriculum, until a barrage of ridicule and protest forced the exam’s abrupt postponement. The curriculum, devised by the National Cow Commission established by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government in 2019, is seen as a move to push Hindu ideology, which regards cows as sacred, thereby undermining the country’s constitutionally guaranteed secular character.
