Bhagavad Gita likely to be included in school textbooks from next academic year: B C Nagesh
“Unnecessary” aspects of the history of Tipu Sultan to be discarded
Bengaluru: Minister of Primary and Secondary Education B C Nagesh on Tuesday said that Bhagavad Gita along with Panchatantra and Ramayana are likely to be introduced in school texts from the next academic year in a paper titled “moral science”.
Speaking in this regard with the reporters earlier today, he said, “the aspects of a particular religion followed by 90% of children would find more preference in the curriculum,” while mentioning Ramayana, Mahabharata and Panchatantra.
Further, he said, “parents of students belonging to minority communities have complained that their children are lacking means to be efficient in the highly competitive world that we are in,” and added that they have requested the government to provide equal education for their children.
He also clarified that the title ‘Mysuru Huli’ of Tipu Sultan will be retained in the textbooks. However, the minister noted that “unnecessary” aspects of this particular history will be discarded.
“BJP MLA Apachu Ranjan has demanded to drop the lesson on Tipu Sultan. Additional information this regard will be revealed soon,” he said.
