NCERT की नई किताबें या WhatsApp यूनिवर्सिटी? | Science vs Pseudo-Science
Is India’s education system gradually replacing science with mythology? Are school textbooks turning into tools of ideology rather than instruments of knowledge? These critical questions have emerged after investigative journalist Neeraj Jha published a detailed report exposing how NCERT textbooks — especially in science — are being systematically infused with pseudo-scientific claims and ideologically motivated content. Over the past decade, several revisions in school curricula have raised eyebrows. Neeraj Jha’s report traces how, under the influence of political shifts, scientific temper is being diluted in favor of unverifiable beliefs. The report highlights numerous examples — from claims that ancient India had airplanes and plastic surgery, to suggestions that astrology is as valid a science as astronomy. These ideas are not being debated in cultural forums or religious gatherings — they are quietly finding space in Class 6 to Class 12 science and social science textbooks. The video dives deep into Neeraj Jha’s findings, exploring how such changes are not isolated or accidental but part of a larger pattern. It investigates the involvement of ideologically aligned academic advisors, changes in textbook review committees, and the quiet omission of key scientific concepts — including Darwin’s theory of evolution, the Periodic Table, and chapters on the Mughals — all of which have disappeared or been diluted in recent editions. What’s at stake is more than just a few chapters. It’s about the future of scientific thinking, critical reasoning, and evidence-based education in India. When children are taught that Pushpak Viman flew long before the Wright brothers, or that yoga can cure complex diseases without any medical evidence, it raises serious concerns about how the next generation will view science and rationality.
