As you know the Modi government since its inception has undermined the process of decentralization of power. The local self-government has been diluted and various attempts have been made to reverse the process of decentralization.
On Tuesday, the HRD minister of the Modi Government made a proud announcement of the deletion of chapters on local self-government, secularism, federalism, citizenship, and nationalism from the curriculum. This is yet another step towards centralization and concentration of power.
It seems that the Modi government doesn’t want the future citizens of our great nation to study the devolution of power and strengthening of the citizenry. We strongly oppose this and urge Modi government to take the decision back. Speak up for educating our citizens on constitution, federalism, strengthening of the local self-government and Panchayati Raj in India.
