This week, on the occasion of India's Republic Day, India in Classrooms celebrates Mother India's gems of diversity and salutes the 'freedom fighters', who have battled to remove inaccuracies in textbooks. Yet, having said enough about textbook misrepresentations in previous podcasts, Mona attempts to move on to address other equally important classroom matters such as the second language petitions that vie for attention in California schools. You will also listen to Dr. Ved Chaudhary, Director of ESHI, (www.eshi.org),whose interview provides an insight into some behind-the-scenes activity in the US for the benefit of all Americans.
