RSS, National Education Policy, and self-serving opposition politics: TN language war, Congress’ politics and more

Op India  

In his address at the annual function of RSS Delhi on December 7th, 1947, M.S. The National Education Policy 2020 saw a copious footprint of RSS’ educational ethos. As can be seen, RSS’ goal of imbibing a deep sense of cultural nationalism to young minds has been given a fillip through NEP 2020. It further mentioned, ‘In developing Hindi as the link language, due care should be taken to ensure that it will serve, as provided for in Article 351 of the Constitution, as a medium of expression for all the elements of the composite culture of India.’ The same Congress is now holding placards against Hindi imposition when NEP 2020 mentions nothing of that kind. Hence, the party that should worry and oppose the least around NEP 2020 or ‘Hindi imposition’ is Congress!
