Abstract:
The extreme polarisation of political ideologies in contemporary India has created a dichotomy in the people of the nation, and there is an urgent need to inquire about the manifestations of the same. Returning to the grassroots of where ideologies and an understanding of the world is acquired, it is essential to study how political environments can and do influence curricula, and its pedagogy, to truly comprehend where the polarisation in thought emerges and thrives. This paper will examine the role that political environments play, either deliberately or unknowingly, in the shaping of education curriculum. This research will be scrutinised with an understanding of political biases and propaganda, and provide possible solutions to create a curriculum that is perhaps consciously free from these prejudices.
