Uttarakhand madrasas to include Operation Sindoor in syllabus

The Uttarakhand Madarsa Education Board on Tuesday said that it will include Operation Sindoor in the madrasa curriculum.

Mufti Shamoon Qasmi, the board’s chief, made the announcement following a meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

“Uttarakhand is not just devbhoomi, which is land of gods, but also the veerbhoomi meaning the land of soldiers,” Qasmi was quoted as saying by The Hindu. “We have decided to include Operation Sindoor and stories of other military operations done by our defence forces in the syllabus which will be taught…so that our students get to know about the valour of the Indian forces.”
