  • It is our duty to remove thorns from the minds of the growing children, which will shape up as barriers for the national integration. Such thorns are mostly seen in history lessons. We can even find them occasionally in the lessons of language, social science and history. We have to weed out such thorns. We have to include only such thoughts that will inculcate the concept of national integration in the minds of our children. This committee has this great responsibility.
