Textbook review by Young boy; Textbook printing should be withheld immediately

Opposition leader Siddaramaiah has urged Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai to take immediate steps to hold the printing of the revised text in consultation with state education experts, literary figures and thinkers in the wake of the objections raised about the revision of the textbook.


Releasing a press release on the issue, he said that if the reports published in the media regarding textbook revision are true, it is an inexcusable offense. This background should be clarified by the Chief Ministers without allowing for unnecessary speculation and conflict.


It is an insult to the people of the state when the state, nationally and internationally respected literary, thinkers and academics have revised the text. It was an insult to the people of the state

A serious act, such as textbook revision, is a disgrace to the country's veteran authors and social reformers, who have been treated by an unworthy, prejudiced person.

He urged that the draft of the textbook revision committee should be returned immediately and the committee should be constituted and consultation with the country's thinkers and education experts to form a new committee.


It is reprehensible that the BJP is now going to make the education sector a political arena by mobilizing young children to use religion as a political mischief and undermine its sanctity. Everyone who is a pulse of the pulse is of the opinion that this should be raised.

Political parties have the power to worship and propagate their ideas. But the education sector should not be tainted by selfish politics. Buddha, Basavanna, Ambedkar, Narayana Guru are the spirits that transcend caste, creed, party and sect. They should not be exploited for selfish politics. The former CM has said that this kind of humiliation done by political maliciousness cannot be tolerated.

Let Hedgewar, Golwalkar and Godse join their party. Display his pictures and vote in the elections. Conscious people determine wrong-doings. Siddaramaiah has urged the state government not to sacrifice the education sector for political selfishness.
