The Karnataka government is likely to introduce Hindu religious texts – Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, and Mahabharata – in its school curriculum from the next academic year, in the field of
‘moral science.’ Though a proposal in this regard was made some time ago, the ruling BJP government had kept it in abeyance amidst strong opposition against the move. Clearing the air on
Tuesday, April 19, state Education Minister BC Nagesh said: "From next year, moral science will be added to the school syllabus. Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, Ramayana and Panchatantra
could also be part of moral education," he stated.
