BHUBANESWAR:The recent panic and anger over the education system has taken everyone by surprise. There is no doubt that the failure of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the question paper leak case should be investigated impartially.
But now the biggest question arises, what is the real reason for this panic? Why are the voices of protest increasing from foreign lands like Boston and Germany? And why has such a situation arisen at this time, that is, in June 2026? If we delve deeper into it, it will be found that this entire controversy is not only related to the question paper leak; rather, there is a huge financial interest and an empire worth crores of rupees behind it.
The Education Minister had three major decisions ready for July-August 2026, which have the potential to completely revamp the Indian education system. The first decision is the new NCERT textbook for classes 9 to 12. This new mathematics syllabus includes the ‘Sulb Formula’, which is a dangerous idea for all those forces who want to hide the history of Indian knowledge. It proves that this science was flourishing in India long before the European world asserted its authority over mathematics. Not only mathematics, the new history syllabus has replaced the ‘Aryan Invasion Theory’ with India’s own story ‘Indus-Saraswati Civilization’, which will bring back the country to its true identity.
The second major reform is the circular issued by CBSE on May 15, 2026, which has made 3 languages mandatory for class IX, and at least two of them must be Indian languages. Along with this, the third decision is the comprehensive reform of NTA and decentralization of the examination system based on the Radhakrishnan Committee reforms. By adopting a sovereign technology, such a system can be created, where there is no opportunity for failure or manipulation of the examination at any point.
The real question is, if all three of these decisions are successfully implemented, who will lose out? The first to come is the international academic community. Many departments of universities like Harvard, Columbia, Chicago and Sotheby’s London are made up solely of the ‘Aryan Migration Framework’.
Their annual endowment of around $500 million will be at risk due to this reform. Similarly, foreign universities like the UK, US and Australia earn around $3.7 billion annually from around 1.8 million Indian students. If India’s education system is improved and self-esteem and confidence are restored among children, then the flow of this money going abroad will start shrinking.
On the other hand, this will completely shake the economy of the country’s huge coaching industry. The coaching business, which is worth Rs 58,000 crore today and is estimated to be Rs 1,33,995 crore by 2028, is only surviving by creating fear and anxiety among students.
Global investors have invested billions of dollars in thousands of companies like Allen, Aakash, FitG, Byju, Resonance or Vision IAS in this English-dominated examination system; not for patriotism, but only for commercial profit. The decentralization of NTR and the prosperity of Indian languages will give a strong blow to this business.
This is also the enterprise of the NGO system that is creating outrage. Their narrative or title survives only when India becomes intellectually self-reliant and receives foreign grants. If children learn their true history and truth, then that false title will be suffocated and their funding will be cut off.
According to a conservative estimate, about 3 lakh crore rupees (over 35 billion dollars) of business is at stake due to this entire education reform. So this is not a war for the betterment of the country, but a war to save a large business empire.
Just when India was about to end this old exploitative system, the meme factories were given a new lease of life and a protest was planned for June 6, before the start of the new academic year, to prevent these reforms. Whether the individual education minister should stay or go is a different debate; but the real battleground is our education policy. Unfortunately, most people still only see the headlines in the newspapers and fail to understand the real struggles going on behind the scenes.
