Teaching Sanskrit as a third language and introducing Manusmriti and ancient numeral systems like Bhutasankhya and kaṭapayadi sankhya to all school children in the state find a place in the proposal sent by Karnataka for inclusion in school syllabus under the new National Education Policy (NEP).  While Bhutasamkhya is a method of recording numbers in Sanskrit using common nouns, the kaṭapayadi system of numerical notation for easy remembrance.

 

 

Educationists in the state have expressed deep concern over some of the proposals made by the state government. The proposals are part of position papers for inputs sent to the Union Government to be included in the curriculum under the NEP, the Times of India has reported.

One of the key suggestions made in the position paper is the inclusion of Sanskrit as a mandatory third language. "In the land of thousands of languages, at least three languages must be taught – the regional language, English and another Bhāratiya language, preferably Saṁskṛta," the position paper states. Saṁskṛta is the language in which the overwhelming majority of Indian knowledge is available, and in addition, a basic knowledge of Saṁskṛta will equip the students to pick up any other language, including foreign languages," it adds.

The proposal also termed the Pythagoras theorem and the apple falling on Newton's head as 'fake news'. "Encouraging an attitude of questioning and not merely accepting whatever the textbooks (or print/electronic/social media) say as infallible truth, with a clear foundation of how knowledge generation takes place and how fake news such as Pythagoras theorem, apple falling on Newton’s head etc. are created and propagated," reads one of the suggestions in the proposal.
