education, which is complicated and controversial.

policies to include value orientation in their education
system.

13. India – A Unique Society
India with her vast heritage of spiritual wealth can lead
the world.
Indian Education (Kothari) Commission (IEC) 1966,
says “the adoption of secular policy means that in
political, economic and social matter, all citizens
irrespective of their religious faith, will enjoy equality of
right. But it does not mean an irreligious and anti-
religious policy. It does not be little the importance of
religions as such. It gives every citizen the fullest
freedom of religious belief and worship.
It is anxious to ensure good relations among the
different religious groups and to promote not only
religious tolerance but also an active reverence for all
religious.” IEC (1964-66) observed – the absence of
provision for education in social, moral and spiritual
values. Prof D.Ilangovan, HD Commerce AU 11.04-2020 13

Martin Luther king
-Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or
putting a false label on an evil act.

relationship.

a fresh start and a new beginning. It is the lifting of burden
or the cancelling of debt
