The New York Times has published a story on open debates in Indian schools about politics. Kanti Bajpai is quoted discussing the new curriculum.

Kanti Bajpai, an adviser to the world politics text, described the new curriculum as “forcing” students “to look at what’s going on and why.” Mr. Bajpai, the headmaster of an exclusive boarding school in northern Dehradun town, said, “If you’re serious about active citizenship, you’ve got to do that.”
