NEW PATH-BREAKING BOOK BY RAJIV MALHOTRA and VIJAYA VISWANATHAN! WHO IS RAISING YOUR CHILDREN? Breaking India Using Its Youth The giant snake Aghasura from the Bhagavata Purana, on the cover image, disguises his open mouth as an attractive cave to ensnare the children of Vrindavan. This metaphor highlights the dangers hidden in Western education models that are being imported into India and luring parents and children alike. The book explains these dangers systematically: - India is impetuously following Western frameworks without critical evaluation. Its policies adopt Western ideologies built into Comprehensive Sexual Education, Social Emotional Learning, and Global Citizenship Education. - The UN, NGOs, and public-private partnerships have implemented these ideologies into Indian education, prioritizing ideological indoctrination over academic rigor and traditional values. - The book compels Indian policymakers to study the failure of the K-12 educational system in the USA as a warning against replicating American education models. - The National Education Policy 2020 has been trying to align with SDGs rather than addressing India’s unique needs. - The book seeks to convince Indian educators to resist foreign pressure and realign the education models with Bharatiya heritage and values, and the best interests of India’s children.
