Sonia Gandhi, the former Congress president and Rajya Sabha MP, raised significant concerns about the central government's education policy. In an article, she criticized the government's three-pronged agenda, claiming it harms the education sector. Gandhi alleged that the Modi government is using education to further the RSS and BJP's ideological agenda, with compromises being made in appointments for educators and administrators, prioritizing ideology over merit. She also accused the government of removing parts of history from the curriculum, including references to Mahatma Gandhi's assassination and certain aspects of the Mughal era. Gandhi called for an end to what she referred to as the "killing" of India's education system.In response, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defended the changes, arguing that India's education system must undergo reform to align with the country's needs. He emphasized the importance of "Indianization" of education, asserting that the colonial-era system should be overhauled for a more relevant and nationalistic approach.
