Wanting Indian children to know their own languages is reasonable. Nobody serious is arguing against that.
But telling a ninth grader who spent five years learning German to switch to Sanskrit in two weeks isn’t education policy. That’s disruption without preparation.
The April circular had it right…start from sixth grade, give everyone time to adapt. The May circular threw that out and put lakhs of students in an impossible position mid-session.
Sort the resources first. Train the teachers first. Print the books first. Then implement.
Right intention. Wrong execution. Completely avoidable chaos
Good intention. Terrible timing.
