The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has agreed to consider inclusion of a chapter on Char Sahibzade of 10th Sikh Master Guru Gobind Singh in its syllabi from next year.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Delhi MLA
had raised the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Secretary of the NCERT Major Harsh Kumar stated
that the Director, NCERT, had appreciated the concern of Sirsa regarding
inclusion of a chapter on Char Sahibzade for their supreme sacrifice in the country.
Harsh Kumar said Sirsa’s suggestion would be placed before the expert committee before finalising syllabi and curricular material for social science in general and history in particular.
Sirsa said his mission was to get the next generation aware of the
supreme sacrifice made by four Sahibzade for the nation and humanity.
There was no parallel in the world of the sacrifice they made at such a
tender age.
Sirsa also urged all the education boards of different states to include
chapters on history of the supreme sacrifice in their syllabi so that
children studying in these states could get acquainted with these
incidents of historical importance.
