Curriculum decolonisation debates HE – UGC NET Question

The process of questioning Eurocentric dominance in syllabi and integrating indigenous and marginalised perspectives is commonly described as curriculum decolonisation. The stem explicitly points to these kinds of changes, so “decolonisation” is the appropriate completion.

Option A:
Option A is correct because decolonisation debates focus on whose knowledge is represented, how colonial power shaped curricula and how to give space to local and indigenous epistemologies.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as “depoliticisation” means removing political content or debate, whereas decolonisation is deeply political and critical in nature.

Option C:
Option C is wrong because “militarisation” refers to the increasing influence of military logic or institutions, unrelated to knowledge representation in the curriculum.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect since “mechanisation” concerns the use of machines or automation and has no direct connection to revising Eurocentric syllabi.
