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.
