The National Council of Educational Research and Training has introduced the ancient philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam to Class VII students through a new social science chapter. The lesson, titled 'India, a Home to Many', explores how the belief in global brotherhood has been a core part of India's culture for centuries. It recounts stories of Jewish and Parsi communities who found refuge and acceptance in India, highlighting the nation's tradition of offering shelter to those fleeing injustice. The chapter also showcases the achievements of ancient Indian engineers and temple builders, connecting inclusive values with intellectual and creative progress. Officials hope this curriculum will help students see Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam as a deeply rooted aspect of India's identity, rather than a modern slogan.
