Baa baa black sheep
Traditional English nursery rhymes are now all black sheep. School children in a state in central India are no longer to learn English through nursery rhymes - they will be replaced by rhymes from the life of Ahilya Bai - a legendary ruler, to reduce "Western influence" on the children. The legacy of the Empire - I find it amazing that it has taken this long to boot the relics of empire out.
Humpty Dumpty ruled 'too Western'
