Abstract

Indian classrooms have often been blamed for being dictated to by the textbook (Kumar, 1988). The report Learning without Burden (Government of India, 1992) observed the disappointing state of teaching-learning in the Indian education system. It noted that the curricula transacted in the classroom with the students are both meaningless and irrelevant to students and therefore incapable of engaging young minds in the process of teaching- learning. NCERT textbooks (NCERT, 2006, 2007) prepared and published after National Curriculum Framework 2005 (NCERT, 2005) seems to address the observed alienation.
