The NEP is expected to comprehensively ensure holistic physical, emotional, mental, philosophical and spiritual development of the student. It is important to understand that the cultural, religious, gender, caste etc background of those imparting this education is very crucial. This same structure can become a tool of reinforcing prejudices and practicing discrimination. Very often, it has been the teachers who have practised and promoted untouchability within classroom spaces. So in the larger context of pushing for homogenisation of education, culture, and food, it will not be surprising if children are taught that only one culture, caste, food, or religion is superior and taught to look down upon or hate others.
