Mathura: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev lauded the constructive role played by the Gurukul system of education and expressed his commitment to revive the old system in the country.
He said the British rulers abolished the Gurukul system to inculcate western culture in Indians.
"In order to inculcate western culture in the future generation, during the British regime, Lord Dalhousie replaced Gurukuls with convent schools... We shall open seven lakh Acharyakulams and re-establish Gurukuls," Ramdev said here on Wednesday.
Baba Ramdev also condemned the Taliban terror attack on a school in Peshawar, terming it as "shameful" but said that Pakistan had itself to blame for the incident as it protected the terrorists on its soil but now terrorism has become a problem for the country too.
