Bratya for Marx, Friedrich and Lenin in syllabus

Bratya for Marx, Friedrich and Lenin in syllabus
SILIGURI, 7 APRIL: Taking a stance that stands contrary to one taken by the School Education Syllabus Committee (SESC), the state education minister, Bratya Basu, today said there was no question of ridding the history syllabus of the historical legacy associated with Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and VI Lenin. “Marx, Engels and Lenin are indispensable parts of world history. There is no question of erasing these important figures from the history syllabus of the schools,” he said while talking to the media on the sidelines of the inauguration of a B.Ed college at Patagora under Rajganj block in Jalpaiguri district today. When asked about the recent controversy regarding the matter, he said it was about a mere recommendation of the committee.  sns
