Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is Too Western

Filed in archive In the Spotlight by Melissa Petri on June 14, 2006

According to CNN, the central state of Madhya Pradesh has removed "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and ""Baa Baa Black Sheep" from the primary school syllabus.

Why? Because it's too Western.

Let's check...

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!


Looks fine to me.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!


Still okay.

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!


It's good the their local government want to teach using materials written by Indian poets. That should be reason enough to take off Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. But, I still cannot figure out which part is too western.

Can you?!
