Sir,
The inclusion of a poem on the National War Memorial and a chapter on 1965 Indo-Pak war hero Abdul Hameed in the NCERT Class 6 curriculum is a praiseworthy initiative.
By integrating stories of sacrifice and patriotism, the Government is shaping a generation of young Indians with a deep appreciation for the valor of our soldiers.
These lessons go beyond mere history-they inspire national pride and a sense of duty among students, who are the future custodians of India’s legacy.
Honoring the contributions of martyrs like Abdul Hameed through education ensures their sacrifices are not forgotten and instills the values of courage, devotion, and love for the country.
This step by the Ministries of Defence and Education reflects a thoughtful approach to nation-building, embedding patriotism into the hearts of young learners.
