India drops the periodic table, Pythagorean theorem and evolution from school textbooks

[Trango Towers]

Just to give context to the change:
The US moved the periodic table to higher education during Obama's time
NCERT has structured the syllabus according to the IB board. People make themselves fools using half information.

The west is in a decline. The main subject for children is gender alignment. I guess as your bar for comparison is the US soon you will follow.
I agree people making fools of themselves defending stupidity

Darwin theory has scientific backing??? Lol then why is it called a theory and not fact ? Oh my Indian friend you are still at the evolutionary stage of early neanderthal

Everything in science is called Theory, like theory of Gravity.
Evolution exists on a faster pace on micro organisms or insects. They become immune pretty quickly to pesticides. And anti biotics are evolved past all the time by bacteria.
Everything adapts to its environment and associated pressures. This is why penguins morphology was similar in the Great Auk, a bird that had no relation to the penguins but looked very similar living on the opposite side of the world, in a similar environment.

Most Indians don't believe in evolution or monotheism.

So?

No

In science a concept is theory until its proven. Not sure what school you went to but gravity is a fact, not a theory.
Your statement re morphology is also not correct. Man has been fascinated with flight since it first saw a bird why have we not developed wings.

Come on bro

In science a concept is theory until its proven.

Haven't we seen the proof of that in last 3 years, with a particular new life form emerging then continuing to evolve fast and churning out new variants.

Come on bro

The actual term is theory of general relativity. And its been tested multiple times, i.e. gravitational lensing. Same applied to evolution. Fascination has nothing to do with anything. Adaptations occur because the species survival depends on it, i.e.why Nepalese can breathe in higher altitutes and we cant, or why our skin has greater melanin to absorb the sun in their region.

well we still learn it at Junior years at high schools. and if they moved it to higher education , i also wonder how they teach chemistry . its one of the basics for chemistry and make the day of poor students a lot easier.just knowing it made the students understand the property of the agents a lot easier and they knew what to expect from it

well in fact it was a law until Albert Einstein General Theory of relativity . after it it was not considered a law any more and is called Theory of Gravity

well as a matter of fact you will be able to breath in altitude as well as Nepalese , you just need to increase the altitude very slowly and allow your body to adjust its mechanism to compensate for lower air density or precisely give it enough time to produce more red blood cell

over a period of time, your lungs will expand/have larger capacity to absorb oxygen than lower altitude populace. You will then pass that on to your next generation.... evolution

not exactly
you don't pass that , its in all human genome and all human already have that capacity as part of our coping and adjustment mechanism, and most of increase in our O2 absorption capacity come from the increase in red blood cells and what is explained in oxygen hemoglobin dissociative curve not the changes in lung

Nope actually. There is a reason why experienced mountaineers still need Sherpas who themselves need way less equipment.

where those experienced mountaineers live ?
and those sherpas are mountaineers pack mules

Do you think if a Sherpa lived in the US or any other place, they would need to get acclimated to high altitudes? A Sherpa could be born in Australia and visit high altitude once and still be ok. Its in the genes. Same goes for Africans who are immune to many local diseases which non Africans found deadly.

no they cant

The new structure thought process is, elementary knowledge is provided till the 10th (High School) then specific ones in Physics, Bio, Chemistry, and Maths are moved to the Higher secondary level.
