Revision history [back]
 | 1 | initial version |
You bring up a great point. In my country we don’t learn about Sikh history either. I am surprised to learn that this doesn’t happen in India! I think it’s something that you would have to advocate for and maybe bring a group together and go through the proper procedures for getting the curriculum changed officially. Change doesn't really happen by itself unfortunately. I don't know why they haven't realized that we have a lot more history to learn than just european cultures. Of course we do learn Sikh history through katha at the Gurdwara but its not the same as learning from the start all of what happened in our history. I think Khalsa schools in my country have a separate class to teach Sikh history. The other place for education is obviously our homes. If it isn’t happening at schools then we teach each other, our children, and ourselves.
