Congress leader Rahul Gandhi calling the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), his party's ally in Kerala, as "completely secular", has teed off a fresh war of words with the ruling BJP.
Lecture on ‘India – secularism, democracy and socialism’
Eminent historian Romila Thapar has said that education should not conform to religious concerns in determining its content and structure. State-run institutions should be free of religious interventions and the contest of education is better left to the professionals in each discipline, she said.
She was participating an online lecture series on ‘India – secularism, democracy and socialism’ organised jointly by Kerala State Higher Education Council (KSHEC), Kerala Council of Historical Research (KCHR) and Chintha Publishers in honour of historian K.N. Panikkar on Sunday.
Cautioned
Prof. Thapar, Professor Emeritus at Jawaharlal Nehru University, also cautioned against allowing religion to legitimise politics and political activity.
