Meanwhile, Bharatiya Vichara Kendraram, the Hindu intellectual group, called the zoom the “export of foreign culture” and accused the government of compiling a hidden agenda.
“There is a hidden motive for the promotion of foreign culture, such as Zumba. This is an attempt to destroy our values and traditions, ”said Director R. Sanzhayan.
Kerala’s government rejected all the accusations. The Minister of State Education V Sivankutty said that this program was voluntary and is intended to support a healthy lifestyle of students.
“Religion should not mix with education,” said Sivanti.
“Those who opposed this program are even more dangerous than drug problems.”
He argued that students would still wear a school uniform during the session, so that charges of obscene clothes did not matter. He also added that Zumba is only one of the different methods that contribute to the physical and mental suitability of students.
“Easy exercises are always encouraged at school, and children are in shape during these events. This program encourages healthy habits and improving the concentration and personal development of students, ”he explained.
