Inculcate Vedas to curb crime: Vala

BENGALURU: Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala has an unusual solution to stop crime against children: teach the Vedas and Sanskrit in schools. Parents should inculcate in children Indian values and make them aware of the country’s cultural heritage.Preservation of culture and study of the Vedas and other scriptures can prevent people from committing heinous crimes against children, he said at Children’s Day celebrations here."All our scripts are written in Sanskrit, so I request schools to teach students Sanskrit. It’s important all of us learn Sanskrit and Hindi. We should strive to teach children our culture which will help reduce such incidents," Vala said."Don’t get me wrong, but more the education, the less cultured our people are becoming," he said.
