That is why Ramayana-Mahabharata will be taught in Saudi schools
Saudi Arabia has decided to teach Ramayana-Mahabharata in schools this time under Yuvraj 'Vision 2030'.
The country plans to study foreign history and culture as part of a new education system.
According to the Saudi Crown Prince program, many changes are being made to the country's primary education system. The introduction of Ramayana and Mahabharata has been added to the Saudi Arabian school curriculum and various religions. In addition, many topics will be taught about yoga and Ayurveda.
The Hindustan Times says teaching the Indian Ramayana and Mahabharata hymns in Saudi schools will help Indian students learn about Indian culture and customs, and will also improve good relations between the two countries, analysts said.
Communication relations between Saudi Arabia and India have improved in recent times. During this time good relations extend to the level of embassies and occur in school textbooks.
However, there is a negative reaction among the Saudis themselves. Many feel that there are many other subjects besides Ramayana and Mahabharata in studying foreign history and culture from which students can benefit.
But opposition Indians or Hindus have welcomed the move. They think that the history and culture of Indians can be reached only by the people of the world through the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
Saudi Arabia is traditionally known as a conservative Islamic country. But the world is slowly emerging from that millennial culture.
In this, the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman leads the way. He called Saudi Arabia's first Islamic tradition "strong." On the contrary, he speaks of the establishment of 'balanced Islam' in the world.
But analysts say that you are actually introducing Western ideas and cultures in the name of "balance." He announced the 2030 'modern' vision of society and culture.
To achieve that, many sanctions have already been lifted. Women are allowed to drive, go to the movies and watch sports on the field and even rent hotel rooms without a guard.
The Saudi prince's reform mission includes extracting the economy without relying on oil, creating new sectors of youth employment, empowering women and easing the living conditions of citizens.
As a first step, the country lifted the ban on women driving.
