In the following chapters, we will examine whether and how German national socialism is covered in Indian textbooks used in federal, state, and the private schools affiliated with the CBSE. The treatment of the Holocaust will be taken into special consideration, as it reflects the position of the textbook authors toward Nazi ideology and practice and might, if introduced with emphasis, contribute to a critical approach of this period in history on the part of the learners.

In Indian education as in Indian identity politics, conflicting positions vie for supremacy.14 These views also imply different stances toward the Nazi era. In order to address these different positions and reflect the structure of the education system with its central, state, and private schools, we surveyed and analyzed history and social studies textbooks that cover the relevant period.15 Three of the textbook series in the sample were produced by the NCERT for schools affiliated with the Centre, but in different years and under different political conditions. The first NCERT series was written and used in the 1990s under a Congress-led government in the Centre; the second series was produced under a National Alliance government led by the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the third series was used after the Indian National Congress (INC) resumed power in 2004.

The state of West Bengal in eastern India is represented by three prescribed books published by private publishers, which were used in state schools during the rule of the Communist Party of India and the Trinamool Congress, some of which are still in use today. The state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, which is ruled by governments formed by regional parties, has its own textbook publisher. The 2011 textbook editions were reprinted with minor changes and were still in use until mid-2019. For the school year beginning in 2019, a new edition with new texts was published, which was partially included in our study. The sample also includes books produced by a private publishing house, Saraswati House, mostly for private schools, which follow the syllabus of the Central Examination Board, in Delhi and elsewhere. Additionally, examples from Maharashtra16 and Gujarat17 in western India were included in the sample, not only to enrich the spectrum of this research, but also because these states are ruled by the nationalist BJP or its allies. In 2002, during the chief ministership of Narendra Modi, anti-Muslim riots broke out in in Gujarat. These riots are regarded as one of the worst instances of communal violence in India.

Some of the textbooks focus on 1941 as the moment in which violence became extreme,59 but they cover also the earlier stages before the Holocaust.60 Only two textbooks provide details of discrimination from 1933 onward, the effects of the Nuremberg Laws, and the establishment of the ghettos.61 Some of the books refer to concentration camps.62 One books writes, for example,

The books presented here differ from each other in several respects. First, the state books differ from the NCERT books in their content, language, and pedagogical approach. The state books are mostly of far lower quality. Second, the three generations of the NCERT books differ from each other. Only the books of the last edition are in line with modern pedagogy. Additionally, each textbook has a different political background. Both books of the first series contain sound content but have a distinctly leftist background. This explains their special focus on the leftist actors mentioned above. The second NCERT series, published under a BJP-led government, introduced a special focus on India and a shift toward a Hindu-national orientation. This resulted in a textbook controversy on a national and an international level that lasted for several years.101 The brevity with which these textbooks treat the Nazi period may be a result of this orientation.102 After another change of government, a new curriculum and the third generation of textbooks were developed, with new approaches and a sound pedagogical and academic background. These books are, though shortened by some chapters, still in use today.

The image of Hitler and Nazism in Indian societal discourse and textbooks, which some Indian authors and academics attribute to India's historical situation, may indeed be rooted in certain features of twentieth-century Indian history. For example, during the colonial period Hindu nationalists sought to establish direct ties with Nazi Germany, which they saw as an alternative model for achieving their own goals and ambitions; thus, the radical Hindu nationalistic cadre organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was modeled according to National Socialist and fascist examples.106 Also, prominent patriotic leaders like Bose approached Nazi Germany for support.107

According to Thanuskodi (2011), students have to read books other than textbooks to improve thinking and other cognitive activities. An individual's interests are determined to a considerable extent by the amount of textual materials consumed and the intensity with which he will pursue his reading activity. By reading books, one gets confirmation or rejection of one's own ideas, which in turn increases the knowledge level of the reader. In addition, reading provides people with a sense of values, which enable them to discriminate between what is acceptable in the society and what is not.

Since the time that I received the book for review, I have used it frequently for making differential diagnoses and discussing ophthalmologic topics with residents. Nearly all of the chapters contain multiple clinical pearls. The chapter on pediatric ophthalmology is particularly well written and more helpful than any I've seen in other primary care ophthalmology textbooks. It reviews normal development of the visual system and screening for the most important abnormalities. It then describes the most common congenital anomalies and ocular disorders with enough detail to allow for appropriate treatment or referral of the child, as well as suitable education for the parents.

Why own a family medicine textbook? Often such texts cover many subjects superficially. Some cover a scattering of subjects well, while others wallow in thick theory. Like a good family physician, a good textbook should demonstrate breadth and depth, exploit both the richness of the biopsychosocial model and the rigor of biomedical knowledge, solve practical problems and ask sharp questions. A good textbook must also recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of a family physician. The author, Ian McWhinney, M.D., meets these challenges with erudition and eloquence, intelligence and insight. I don't have one of those big textbooks on my desk at the office. I keep this small one on my reading stand at home.

In many places, fundamentalists tried to ban the teaching ofevolution in public schools by targeting teachers. For example,Tennessee's Butler Law--the law that John Scopes was convicted ofviolating--made it a crime "to teach any theory that denies the story ofthe Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead thatman has descended from a lower order of animals." Although the lawdidn't mention textbooks, fundamentalists knew that textbooks (alongwith teachers) were the driving forces behind a curriculum. Consequently,fundamentalists' campaigns often targeted textbooks. For example, on 24March 1923, and with little fanfare, Oklahoma Governor John C. Walton (aprogressive Democrat) signed America's first antievolution law; that lawoffered free textbooks to public schools whose teachers would not mentionevolution (the law was repealed the following year, soon after Walton wasimpeached). The following year, the North Carolina Board of Education--withthe governor's support--barred public schools from using biologytextbooks that presented an origin for humans that differed from the onedescribed in the Bible (Larson 1989). Despite these acts, it was the Scopestrial--43 years after Darwin's death--that would have the largest impacton biology textbooks and, therefore, on biology teaching.

In the early 1900s, biology textbooks were characterized by adiverse coverage of evolution. A few textbooks did not mention the wordevolution (e.g., Hunter's Elements of Biology, published in 1907;Peabody and Hunt's Elementary Biology, published in 1913), whereasothers devoted entire chapters to the subject. In most textbooks, however,evolution was featured prominently--so much so that William Jennings Bryancomplained that he could not find "any text book on biology which doesnot begin with monkeys" (Numbers 1992). Indeed, one textbook, TheElementary Principles of General Biology (Abbott 1914), dedicated more than8,000 words to topics related to evolution. Some authors presented evolutionwith extraordinary assurance. For example, George Atkinson's Botony forHigh School stated in 1912 that evolution "has been accepted," andthree years later a zoology textbook by Vernon Kellogg and Rennie Doane notedthat "organic evolution is a fact, demonstrated and accepted"(Larson 1989). Similarly, H. H. Newman wrote in Outlines of General Zoology(Newman 1924), "There is no rival hypothesis to evolution, except theout-worn and completely refuted one of special creation, now retained only bythe ignorant, dogmatic, and the prejudiced." Newman would learn thatmany people--some biologists included--disagreed.

How can we explain this diversity of books? Before Scopes'trial, some authors considered the topic of evolution to be too difficult forhigh school students. For example, authors J. E. Peabody and A. E. Hunt, whoexcluded evolution from many of their textbooks (e.g., Biology and HumanWelfare, published in 1924), argued that evolution was better suited forcoverage in advanced rather than introductory courses. Similarly, Hunter(1911), who claimed that "abstractions are not a part of the thought ofa first-year pupil," stated that discoveries such as Mendel's (andpresumably Darwin's) were "too difficult to explain to high schoolpupils." Other authors excused their caution by citing a report by theCollege Entrance Examination Board claiming that a thorough treatment ofevolution might be too difficult for high school students (Grabiner andMiller 1974). Although authors of biology textbooks may have, in fact,considered Darwin's ideas to be "too difficult" for highschool students, this protestation could also have been a convenient excuse;after all, Darwin's ideas would not seem to be any more abstract thanthe Greek, Latin, ancient history, philosophy, and other courses included inthe classical curriculum popular during that time (Skoog 1979). Thepublication of sanitized textbooks at precisely the time when somelegislatures had passed, and others were considering, antievolution laws wasno coincidence (Grabiner and Miller 1974). 006ab0faaa
