India has dropped Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the periodic table of elements from some school textbooks, part of a widening campaign by the Hindu nationalist government that has prompted warnings from educators about the impact on teaching and the country’s vital tech sector.

More than 4,500 scientists, teachers and others have signed a petition saying they “disagree with such dangerous changes in school science education and demand to restore the theory of Darwinian evolution in secondary education” to grade 10 textbooks.

......

India has also dropped chapters on “democracy and diversity” and “challenges to democracy”, among other changes to grade 10 classes.

BENGALURU – The removal of critical sections on evolution and the periodic table of elements from some high school science textbooks in India has sparked concerns among education experts and scientists, who said it would lead to a poor grasp of fundamental scientific concepts.

......

NCERT also removed critical lessons from the history syllabus: references to the Cold War, the Mughal courts and industrial revolution, the 2002 Gujarat riots, the contribution of agriculture to the Indian economy, and a section on people’s movements that challenged democracy.

Experts say some of the deletions with overt political intentions are sections on the opposition of Hindu extremists to Mahatma Gandhi’s pursuit of Hindu-Muslim unity, and the ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) after his assassination.

The RSS, whose philosophy seeks to build India as a Hindu nation, is the ideological parent organisation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
