Governor for exposure to all lines of thought

Two-member committee formed to look into Kannur University syllabus

Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has said universities and classrooms are marketplaces for conflicting ideas and varied schools of thought. Students should be exposed to every aspect of learning. The Governor said here on Saturday that he was not in a position to comment on the developments in Kannur University. But generally, limiting the scope of the study was not advisable. “They teach Karl Marx in foreign university even when those nations do not adhere to Marxism.” “Charvaka rubbished everything Indians held sacred. However, nobody threw a stone at him. Instead, ancient India revered the philosopher as Mahatma Charvaka. His thought is one of the five prominent streams of Indian philosophy,” he said.
