Its not a one man task to remove anything from the syllabus at such a massive scale. every university is autonomous. They have their own BoS to decide what to put and what not. 'Let us C' or any book creeps in the syllabus by a process and it stays there until it gets the label of 'highly outdated'. The 9th revision has removed the DOS crap with every program. Now all that is in DOS specific chapter only. All the IITs are using TC/DOS based systems even today. Professors dont change their mindset so easily. I have seen that its almost a fight with the TC/DOS system fans before asking them to do C/UNIX. Before proclaiming being Microsoft-free, a war remains - 'declaring Turbo C++ free'.
