Capitalism? More like crapitalism amirite?

Why do ppl suck and what makes it okay these days still make fun of us?

NE region have had decade long struggle with the country’s military oppression and human rights violation carried out on mongoloid stock indegenous communities. The video is just for your reference before moving on to the actual question.

My post here is to ask the thinkers of this sub:
In a region that has been suffering military suppression since decades , how humane it is to introduce national education policies that openly try to promote military context in 8th grade Mathematics textbooks.

The govt introduced new Education policies starting 2020 ( NEP) which is a new reform that sets guidelines, frameworks, and learning outcomes , not specific textbooks .

I came across a Class 8 math textbook from a school in Assam. The book is from, a major indian publisher founded in 2012, operating nationwide, publishing for Classes 1 to 8, and passed as per "NEP 2020 laws." Schools donot have the option to change books because they are not in a position to choose.

Chapter on Square Roots and it talks about captain arranged his squad, captain arranged his battalion, captain arranged his soldiers. 1 non-military question is also replaced with a nationalistic context about PM National Relief Fund.

The generation 10-15 years back didnot study such examples it was about grocery shopping, tiles in a row and various other neutral real life examples.

What is more surprising about this book is it doesnot have any other examples , only militarised examples.

To educators and parents in Asia: I am asking for comparison. How does your country ensure that textbooks remain pedagogically neutral and do not push ideological framing: military or otherwise? In our case how to ensure our kids are safe from doctrinization ?
