Anti-India poets will no longer be taught, 'Pak' influence will be removed from the syllabus in DU.

Delhi University has made a big decision. Now the syllabus of the university will change. In the review, instructions have been given to remove the 'unnecessary glorification' of Pakistani writers.

Now everything that is against the national interest will not be taught in Delhi University (DU). Giving a big statement on Tuesday, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Yogesh Singh said that the heads of the departments have been asked to review their respective courses and remove the 'unnecessary glorification' of any Pakistani writer, poet or any other person from it. He also clarified that mention of Pakistan in history is necessary, but views opposing it cannot be promoted.

VC Yogesh Singh said, "Pakistan is a reality and when we talk about partition or our history, it is necessary to mention it. But there is no need to teach such writers or poets who are anti-India. Unnecessary praise is not acceptable in any form.

Sardar Patel in place of Mohammad Iqbal

This statement has come when recently the Academic Standing Committee of DU recommended removing the name of famous poet Mohammad Iqbal from the syllabus of the eighth semester of the History Department and adding Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in its place. This change was also passed by the Academic Council and then the Executive Council.

The VC said that if other departments also recommend similar changes, then they can be included in the upcoming Academic Council meeting. However, he admitted that this is a long and challenging process, which will take time.

Operation Sindoor can also get a place

Meanwhile, the university administration is also preparing to include "Operation Sindoor" in the syllabus. However, there is a lot of discussion in this direction. Discussions are still going on. But criticism of this move has also started.

According to the Hindustan Times report, Rudrashis Chakraborty, Associate Professor of the English Department of Kirori Mal College, says that the job of the university is to teach students to think impartially, neutrally and critically on every subject. Here, understanding and analysis of every point of view should be taught. At the same time, Professor Rajesh Jha of Rajdhani College also expressed concern and said that every department has subject experts, who prepare the syllabus. They should get complete autonomy so that students can understand the depth of the subject.
