Kerala Minister condemned the decision to remove Arabic and palace from Lakshadweep syllabus – ‘deeply upset’. Bharat News

The palace, also known as the Maliku dialect, is a type of Dhivi, the official language of Maldives. The language retains some characteristics of an old Maldives, but also has Malayalam effect.

“Expresses solidarity with the people of Kerala Island. All democratic forces, educational fraternities and organizations in the education sector should raise their voice against this linguistic injustice and urge the authorities to cancel the decision. The central government unilaterally stepped for educational reforms, which should bring regional cultural and languages ​​to be marginalized.”

The statement said that the Lakshadweep administration has decided to remove the mother tongues of the island from Arabic and the palace from the courses of the school.

“This decision was taken under the guise of implementing the National Education Policy and it is against the procedure policy of the Central Government to promote mother tongues and regional diversity in education. The Central Government is violating the constitutional rights of linguistic minorities by denying the right to learn their regional languages,” she said.

The Kerala government had already raised its concerns about the structure of the National Education Policy 2020 and the Prime Minister for Rising India, or the Prime Minister’s schools – a central plan to improve the infrastructure of education, he said.

“Our decision to oppose the policy stems from this concern,” he said.
