||NEP drops words secular, socialist||
Secularism finds no mention in the new National Education Policys statement of vision and purpose but the ideal of nishkam karma or selfless action promoted by the Bhagavad Gita does.
Selfless action in itself may be a laudable ideal but cherry-picking phrases from one religion promoted by the ruling establishment in a land of multiple faiths has raised eyebrows.
Several academics said the policy reflected the ideological shift from the Nehruvian idea of a secular and liberal nation towards belief in a more muscular nationalism and duties towards a strong State that has been visible on the ground over the past half a decade.
N. Sukumar, a political science professor with Delhi University, emphasised that the omission of secularism was significant at a time of increasing attacks on the minorities.
