“Education has the biggest role in ensuring individual, social and national peace,” he said.

Singh said an education system devoid of ‘Sanskara’ and universal values cannot ensure peace in a society or country.

“Our biggest mistakes are partition on the basis of religion, carving out states on linguistic lines, dividing society among castes and adopting Lord Macaulay’s education system,” he said.

The laws of the country are fine, but the problem lies with enforcement, he said.
