University teachers across India will get lessons from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat on how to "Indianise" teaching and put behind the current "colonial way" of imparting knowledge.

The RSS is organising a two-day seminar in Delhi University from March 25 to 26 which will be attended by teachers from various universities to hold discussions on "how to free teaching system from colonial values and establish national values in them".

The seminar will be called 'Gyan Sangam', and will be organised in an auditorium in Hansraj College in DU's north campus. Panelists will include RSS chief, joint general secretary Krishna Gopal and others.

According to a letter circulated by RSS, a copy of which is with DNA, the seminar will see session-wise discussions on various subjects like Political Science, International Relations, History, Archaeology, Science, Sociology, Communications, Theatre, Literature, and Economics.

"Our education system is thousands of years old. But even then, the system is so strong that foreign elements have not been able to destroy it. Although. they have been able to cause some harm to it," reads the letter which further blames English for making students lose faith in their own culture and studies.

"While on one side Turkish and Mughal invaders destroyed our temples, the English have established an education system which has made people lose their trust in the Indian education system," it says.

Describing the agenda of the meeting, the letter reads: "We have to develop a social and intellectual point of view which will be able to solve the problems of our current generation. We have to make students free of colonial values and establish national values in them," it adds.

The meeting will be a closed affair with only invited teachers and RSS leaders taking part in the discussion. The letter that has been circulated internally within the RSS also makes it mandatory that only teachers who are associated with the ideology of Sangh will be a part of the discussion.

Around 100 teachers and RSS workers from various universities will participate in the two-day event.
