UP education minister wants Rain Rain Go Away removed, calling it anti Indian culture

He says a children’s rhyme conflicts with Indian traditions

Uttar Pradesh Higher Education Minister Yogendra Upadhyaya has escalated his campaign against “Western” nursery rhymes in textbooks, now targeting “Rain, Rain Go Away.” After earlier criticism of “Johny Johny Yes Papa,” he claims the rhyme promotes selfishness and contradicts Indian cultural values, arguing it should be removed from learning materials.
