September 10, 2015
Lessons from Mahabharata, Ramayana and Gita may soon be taught in schools and colleges as part of the NDA government's plan to rid the country of "cultural pollution" and inculcate "values" among young minds. Ministries of Culture and HRD are working on a plan to teach students about India's cultural values following detailed deliberations at a meeting of Education and Culture Ministers of BJP ruled states and the Centre, besides RSS affiliates. 

Giving details of the plan, Minister of State for Culture Mahesh Sharma said the government will not be deterred by criticism that it was trying to promote RSS ideology.
