Section Of DU Teachers Condemn NDTF’s Statement Over English Syllabus

Over 125 English teachers of Delhi University have condemned the statement made by right wing teachers’ group, the National Democratic Teachers’ Front (NDTF), over the English syllabus. The NDTF, in a statement issued last week, had said they “fully support” the changes made to the English syllabus of the fifth semester BA honours course of the university. The group, which is backed by the Bharatiya Janata Party, had also demanded that the DU administration “scan” all other syllabi of the English Department in order to remove similar “demeaning” references.
