Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Karnataka government's decision to revise school textbooks in the state. Speaking at a book launch event on VD Savarkar, Gadkari criticized the removal of chapters on Dr. Hedgewar and Swatantra Veer Savarkar, calling it "unfortunate."
During his address, Gadkari stated, "It is unfortunate that the chapters on Dr. Hedgewar and Swatantra Veer Savarkar have been removed from the school syllabus. There is nothing more painful than this."
The Karnataka cabinet recently approved the revision of Social Science and Kannada textbooks for classes 6 to 10 in state schools, which included the removal of chapters on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) founder KB Hedgewar and Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar, among others.
Karnataka Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa announced the removal of the chapter on KB Hedgewar and clarified that the changes made by the previous government had been reversed, restoring the syllabus to its previous state.
The revisions made to the textbooks have sparked controversy and raised concerns about the curriculum's integrity and ideological influences. The decision remains a topic of debate and discussion in educational circles.
