Curriculum decolonisation HE debates – UGC NET Question

The process of questioning colonial-era biases in knowledge and making space for indigenous and marginalised perspectives is known as curriculum decolonisation. The stem describes exactly these efforts, so “decolonisation” is the appropriate completion.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because depoliticisation would involve removing political content, whereas decolonisation is overtly political and critical in examining power relations in knowledge.

Option B:
Option B is correct as decolonisation specifically addresses whose knowledge is valued and how colonial histories have shaped curricula, matching the description given.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since militarisation refers to the growing influence of the military, which is unrelated to revising syllabi along postcolonial lines.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because mechanisation concerns increased use of machines or automation, not the epistemic critique of Eurocentrism.
