After U'khand, leaders from MP demand to include 'Op Sindoor' into school curriculum

Political leaders in Madhya Pradesh seek to include Operation Sindoor in school syllabus, highlighting military achievement against terrorism

"Our coming generations should know about it. - Rameshwar Sharma, BJP MLA"

Bhopal, May 24

After the Uttarakhand Madrasa Education Board announced to introduce 'Operation Sindoor' in its madrasa's curriculum, a similar demand was raised here in Madhya Pradesh

Describing the 'Operation Sindoor' as a historic victory of the Indian Armed Forces against Pakistan, the leaders in Madhya Pradesh, on Friday, cutting across party lines build a consensus on this matter.

Leaders from both -- the ruling BJP and Opposition Congress have agreed that including 'Operation Sindoor' in school curriculum in the state would be the right step and the state government should consider upon it.

BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma said that Indian Armed Forces destroyed nine terrorist camps and training centres in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir within 30 minutes, which is historic and have filled every Indian with joy.

"Our coming generations should know about it. Therefore, it would be necessary to include Operation Sindoor in school curriculum in Madhya Pradesh," Sharma, a third-time MLA from Bhopal's Huzur Assembly constituency, told IANS on Friday.

Congress MLA Arif Masood said that entire country was united when the 'Operation Sindoor' was launched to take revenge of the Pahalgam massacre.

He added that this type of unity was shown during the freedom struggle, hence it was undoubtedly a historic moment.

"I would be happy if the government includes 'Operation Sindoor' in school curriculum. But, the manner in which, BJP maintained silence on Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, should also be included in the curriculum," the Congress MLA from Bhopal Madhya Assembly constituency, told IANS.

On Wednesday, the Uttarakhand Madrasa Education Council President, Mufti Shamoon Qasmi announced that 'Operation Sindoor' would be included in madrasa's curriculum.

Qasmi has said the step is aimed at instilling a sense of patriotism among the students of madrasas.

Praising the bravery of the armed forces, he emphasised that Uttarakhand is the 'land of heroes' and therefore stories of armed forces must be taught to each student here.

"We have decided to include Operation Sindoor and stories of other military operations done by our Defence forces in the syllabus which will be taught up to the alia, that is intermediate, so that our students get to know about the valour of the Indian armed forces," Qasmi told media persons in Uttarakhand on Wednesday.

As part of Operation Sindoor, India and Pakistan engaged in a military confrontation for more than four days, with India's precision strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir on May 7.

Describing Pakistan as a "nefarious country", Qasmi said it was essential to teach the neighbour a lesson for the way it attacked India and killed people in Pahalgam.

While I'm proud of our armed forces, I wonder if this is the right approach for school curriculum. Shouldn't we focus more on peace-building with neighbors? Constant military glorification might create wrong impressions in young minds. 🇮🇳

Finally! Our children should know about India's military achievements. Pakistan has been teaching hatred against India in their schools for decades. It's high time we counter their propaganda with facts. Jai Hind!

Good initiative but implementation matters. Will they teach it objectively or as propaganda? History should include both successes and failures. Also, what about including humanitarian efforts of our army during disasters?

As an ex-serviceman, I appreciate this move. But please ensure the curriculum also highlights the sacrifices of our jawans and doesn't just focus on the victory. War is never pretty, even when necessary.

Interesting how both BJP and Congress agree on this! Maybe our politicians can find common ground on other important issues too. But I hope they consult education experts before changing curriculum.

Instead of just military operations, why not teach children about diplomacy and how India handles complex relations with neighbors? We need future generations who can solve conflicts with wisdom, not just weapons.
