THE NEW POLITICAL SCIENCE


This years NCERT published text books on Political Science are visually pleasing,the design and inputs make it a learners delight.There is US hegemony in the design and presentation .These books are akin to the text books of US schools published during the 70s.Anyway the material is less ,exercise questions contains "Fill in the Blanks"&"Match the Following" .De-stressing the students and introducing them to the new tools of learning is a good idea,but we should not forget the basics.Unni and Munni teache the children to think.We expect more text books like this in other subjects,so that learning becomes more fun.
