BJP Regime Attacks Urdu Arabic and Persian Education With Unfair Teacher Transfers: Tejashwi Yadav

The Bihar government is running a relentless campaign to systematically weaken minority language education across the state public school system. Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav exposed this discriminatory administrative strategy in a sharp letter addressed to Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. School authorities are deliberately labeling Urdu, Arabic, and Persian teachers as surplus staff members, systematically targeting single subject educators across various institutions. They are transferring the only available language teachers out of rural schools without sending any qualified replacement, leaving classrooms completely empty and shattering the academic future of thousands of innocent students who rely on public education to learn their native heritage languages.

Cruel Surplus System Destroys Single Teacher Schools

Declaring a sole language teacher as surplus staff is complete administrative madness and sheer educational injustice. In many rural public schools, one single teacher manages hundreds of eager students across multiple grade levels for subjects like Urdu, Arabic, or Persian. Removing that one instructor instantly shuts down the entire language department without giving families any alternative option for learning. This targeted action is not a simple technical error made by clueless clerks in regional education offices, but a calculated administrative move designed to force minority language education out of public institutions entirely. The state must cancel these illegal transfer orders immediately, stop harassing single subject teachers, and protect every sanctioned post.

Decades of Broken Promises and Systematic Neglect

Bihar officially recognized Urdu as its second state language back in 1981 with grand political statements about protecting minority cultural rights. Thousands of teaching positions were created at that time to demonstrate official support for language instruction in schools. Today, those old promises stand exposed as a complete failure, as government officials continue to undermine minority language programs through deliberate neglect. Instead of hiring new qualified staff, the state administration allows existing language departments to collapse over time through intentional vacancies. Over thirty percent of sanctioned language teaching posts have been sitting empty for years, proving that the current government prefers empty classrooms over supporting regional cultural diversity.

Financial Harassment Through Deliberate Salary Delays

Arbitrary teacher transfers are not the only method the state uses to torment language educators across the province today. Many Urdu, Arabic, and Persian teachers have not received their legitimate monthly salaries for long periods, creating severe financial instability for their families. Forcing dedicated public school educators to work without compensation while begging for their earned wages represents complete institutional cruelty and disrespect. This persistent withholding of pay acts as a disgusting tactic to break teacher morale, lower classroom performance, and force qualified instructors out of the profession. The government must release all pending funds immediately, honor contractual agreements without delay, and ensure that every teacher receives their full salary on time.

Poor Rural Students Pay the Price for Government Bias

Wealthy politicians and high ranking government officers easily send their own children to expensive private institutions that offer comprehensive language programs. Meanwhile, poor rural children rely entirely on underfunded government schools to achieve basic literacy and learn their traditional native languages properly. Removing public school language teachers directly robs these vulnerable young students of their fundamental educational rights and equal opportunities for growth. When public schools drop specialized language classes, rural dropout rates rise quickly because students lose connection to their curriculum. Public education is meant to support disadvantaged families across the state, not snatch away their limited educational options through unfair administrative policies.

High Student Demand Exposed Government Lies

State education authorities frequently claim that student demand for classical and regional languages is declining rapidly, but official data proves this narrative false. Examination enrollment numbers consistently show that thousands of students register for Urdu, Arabic, and Persian courses every single academic year. Children across the state actively want to learn these languages, yet the administration refuses to provide adequate teaching staff to run the classes. Creating artificial teacher shortages while student enrollment remains remarkably high is pure administrative negligence. The government intentionally starves language departments of basic resources to justify shutting them down later, damaging student academic progress and destroying public faith in state schools.

Biased Administrative Machinery Drives Structural Discrimination

The deliberate targeting of minority language educators points to a deep rooted structural bias within the regional administrative machinery. Officers responsible for school management regularly manipulate teacher transfer lists to clear out language departments while leaving other non language subjects untouched. By hiding behind complex bureaucratic regulations and fake surplus calculations, these officials avoid public accountability for destroying educational diversity in government institutions. This biased approach violates established educational guidelines that guarantee protection for language instruction in state run schools. The chief minister must intervene directly, hold biased education officials strictly accountable for their unfair actions, and clean up the administrative process to rebuild institutional trust across all communities.

Stop Snatching Heritage and Fix This Educational Disaster

Languages like Urdu, Persian, and Arabic carry centuries of priceless historical knowledge, classical poetry, rich literature, and regional cultural identity. Snatching these vital subjects away from young students cuts them off from their ancestral roots and weakens the social harmony of the region. Treating dedicated language teachers like disposable burdens ruins the credibility of the entire public education system. The Bihar government must end this hostile policy immediately by canceling all illegal transfer lists, protecting sanctioned teaching positions, firing corrupt officers involved in these practices, and paying all overdue salaries today. Restoring fairness and protecting equal educational rights for every subject is the only acceptable way forward for the state.
