Are you aware or concerned, that there is considerable misinformation and misleading information included in many of the textbooks that are used in the study of India and its heritage? This information, much of which is not accepted by scholars, has a very negative impact on all students, but particularly those of Indian and Hindu heritage. As young children are the future of America, it is utmost important that the instructional material they use is thoroughly reviewed for accuracy.

On many occasions we have found that the image of India and Indian heritage is shown in very poor light, perhaps due to lack of right/proper information available to the curriculum consultants, textbook writers and the textbook reviewers.

We also know that by working pro-actively with the school board officials the situation can be changed. We have seen the positive results during the process of the textbook review of the school boards of Fairfax County, Virginia.

One key objective of ESHI is to bring together educators and parents to work with various Boards of Education, states and publishers in providing correct information through textbooks and other instructional material up for adoption.
