Mangalore, March 21: Responding to a state-wide agitation call by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarathi Parishat, a large number of students belonging to various schools and colleges took to the streets in city on Wednesday seeking 'Indianisation' of education.
The ABVP activists formed a human chain at Basaveshwara Circle along NH 66 at Kadri Hills around 11:00 am.
Addressing the agitators, ABVP state vice-president Rohinaksha Shirlal said that it was necessary to indianise the entire education system in the country to bring a change in the future of the county.
“You must impart indainsed education to the students to make them responsible citizens of India and complete human beings”, he said.
“The current system across the country is a smack of what propounded by Lord Macaulay and has not changed much even after 65 years of independence”, he said
Mr Shirlal said that the BJP led Karnataka state government had taken firm steps towards Indianisation of education. However, the process is being opposed by vested interests based on their ideological inclinations, he lamented.
“When nations across the world have changed their education system to suit their local culture and beliefs, opposition to the same practice here is meaningless," he added.
ABVP State Secretary Ramesh, City Secretary Chinmay Rai, Preeteesh, Sharath Kumar, Deekshith, Arun, Mahesh, Jagadish, Santhosh, Aneesh and Vinay were present among others.
