Gujarat’s BJP Government introduces Shrimadbhagawadgita in the school curriculum

Editorial comments

• The commendable decision of the BJP Government in Gujarat ! Hindus feel that such a decision should be taken by BJP’s Government in other States, as well as by the Central Government ! Devout Hindus also feel that the syllabus should include Vedas, Upanishads and other scriptures as well.
• Now it should not be a surprise if progressives, Congressmen, etc. shout that education is being saffronised.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) – The Gujarat Government has decided to teach Shrimadbhagawadgita to school children in the State from the next academic year. The announcement was made by Education Minister Jitu Vaghani at the Gujarat State Legislative Assembly session.
