J&K no longer a part of India says, Maharashtra’s SSC textbook

This year newly printed textbooks of the SSC (Maharashtra) depicted a large part of the J&K outside the boundary lines of the India. Not only this, but the textbooks also contain faulty picture of the national flag. These and other such errors were pointed out by the Leader of Opposition Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil in a letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. In the letter Patil also demanded the immediate arrest of the person/s guilty and responsible for this gauche act. All these errors belong to the class 10 Geography textbook. Patil pointed that all the errors are in the textbooks recently published by the Maharashtra State Bureau of Textbook Production & Curriculum Research for the academic year starting 2018. “In chapter 3, page 24, a map of India is published but it is very erroneous as a large part of Jammu & Kashmir is not shown within the borders of the country,” he said in the letter. Similarly, in chapter 2, page 9, national falg has been published in which the color of the Ashok Chakra is wrong. He further said that earlier, the textbook was kept in a seminar for a review when former school Principal K.U. Sonawane and others raised some serious objection and asked to make the necessary corrections.  “However, the required changes were not made and the textbooks carry the wrong images of India and the national tricolour, besides many other mistakes which have crept into the book,” Vikhe-Patil said. Patil demanded that mistakes be rectified and a revised version of the book should be made available from the next academic year.
