Thanks Steve, for reminding me of the Harrison Bergeron reference, very apt, 
it's been a while since I read Vonnegut. (I didn't know who George Santos is .. 
but now I know a bit about him).

In the meantime, green shoots emerge with the few remaining educated people in 
Modi's party beginning to denounce him.

The influential HINDUNEWS.STREAM which reaches 2 million subscribers carries a 
speech made a few hours back by a respected Hindu ideologue to a group of 
school teachers ,which pulls no punches against the decisions to delete Darwin 
and also the periodic table from India's text books.

Hi Glen

In so far as the report of dropping the periodic table and evolution from the 
Class 10 syllabus, it is essentially a question of Hindu class and caste 
dynamics operating in India.
