India cuts periodic table and evolution from school textbooks - “There is a movement away from rational thinking, against the enlightenment and Western ideas” in India, adds Sucheta Mahajan, a historian at Jawaharlal Nehru University who collaborates with Mukherjee on studies of RSS influence on school texts. Evolution conflicts with creation stories, adds Mukherjee. History is the main target, but “science is one of the victims”, she adds. #india #education #indianaffairs #science #fundamentalism #hindu #hinduism #hindutva #hinduextremists #rss https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01770-y
