Esther 8:9
"It was a decision that was echoed throughout the world: “India
dropping core science topics from school textbooks,” including
evolution.
Q: What really happened?
Nature Magazine reported “the National Council of
Educational 
Research and Training (NCERT) — the public body that
develops the Indian school curriculum and textbooks — released textbooks
for the new academic year that started in May.”
Typical are the comments of Stanford University science-education
researcher Jonathan Osborne who opined: “Anybody who’s trying to teach
biology without dealing with evolution is not teaching biology as we
currently understand it … It’s that fundamental to biology.”
Science educators are particularly concerned about the
removal of evolution. A chapter on diversity in living organisms and one
called ‘Why do we fall ill’ has been removed from the syllabus for
class-9 students, who are typically 14–15 years old. Darwin’s
contributions to evolution, how fossils form and human evolution have
all been removed from the chapter on heredity and evolution for class-10
pupils. That chapter is now called just ‘Heredity.’”
More than 4,500 scientists, teachers and science communicators have signed an appeal organized by Breakthrough Science Society, a campaign group based in Kolkata, India, [organized to] reinstate the axed content on evolution.
In reviewing articles about India’s removal of teaching evolution from
grades 9 and 10, all implied, or stated, that the evolutionary worldview
was an absolute fact that explained the creation of humans and
biological history. None mentioned the option of teaching it as only one
theory of origins, or a theory in which both sides (pros and cons) will
be examined. None mentioned that evolutionists themselves differ about
evolution. It is obvious from my reading that evolution was being taught
dogmatically, not objectively as all theories should be taught." CEH
