Abstract

The Rajasthan Education Minister, Madan Dilawar, has stated that the Mughal Emperor Akbar was not deserving of the title "great" due to his alleged involvement in the Meena Marketplace, where women were reportedly exploited. Dilawar also mentioned that some school textbooks in Rajasthan refer to Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh as "terrorists," which he believes will negatively impact children. He clarified that the government is not against the hijab, but students will only be allowed to enter schools in the prescribed uniform. Dilawar also mentioned that the NCERT curriculum will not be implemented in Rajasthan at this time, and that Valentine's Day will be celebrated as Pitru Puja Day on February 14th.
