The "saffronisation" of history, critics of the last government say, depicted India's Muslim rulers as barbarous invaders and the medieval period as a dark age of Islamic colonial rule that snuffed out the glories of the Hindu empire that preceded it.

And this is untrue because ...?

Actually, people upset by outsourcing should welcome these developments. (Neutrino: that's why I pinged you.) India is in the midst of an educational "revolution" right now, similar to what we went through in the 1960s, when our own educational system got radically dumbed down. Not only do the Indians want to censor their own history (just like liberals replaced US history with feely-good "social studies"), they want to redesign their whole educational system to make it more "sensitive," more "caring," more "culturally aware," and less focused on "drill" and "memorization."

IMO we should encourage them, because enough of that touchy-feely, "let's be sensitive" horse manure & their people won't be worth outsourcing to - even at bargain-basement rates.

Thanks for the ping, Valkyrieanne!

I agree! I wonder if we can get the NEA to help them with curriculum development? (Evil grin!)
