YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode of Urban Debate, anchor Shreya Dhoundial delves into the latest controversy surrounding the renaming of NCERT’s English textbook from 'Honeysuckle' to 'Poorvi', furthermore, a noteworthy addition in 'Poorvi' is introducing the term 'Bharat' within an NCERT textbook for the first time. The move has triggered a fresh wave of criticism, with many accusing the education body of cultural imposition. As NCERT makes these changes, voices from the South are expressing strong disapproval, calling it yet another instance of linguistic and regional marginalization. Is this simply a name change, or a textbook case of imposition?
A panel of experts has joined Shreya Dhoundial to discuss this in detail. BJP's Adv. P Krishna Das, says, it is part of connecting with our culture, it won't affect any language, any state or any state's culture, it is part of changing curriculum.
DMK's A Sarvanan, says, don't shove Hindi down our throats, we don't need BJP's imposition but this is bizarre by making Hindi names in English, they did the same with IPC & CrPC.
