Former K’taka Minister Sunil Kumar questions Siddaramaiah on textbook revision; Here's what he said
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka minister Sunil Kumar has criticized the Karnataka Government's decision to revise school textbooks, questioning the need for such revisions after the textbooks have already been supplied to schools.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Kumar raised concerns about the possibility of external influence over the Education Department in this matter.
Expressing his opinion, Kumar asked if the government aims to hide the truth about Indian history and culture from schoolchildren by revising the textbooks. He accused the government of failing to understand the challenges that teachers and students would face if the textbooks were revised after being distributed to schools. Kumar suggested that the Education Department may be under the control of an external force, given the urgency displayed in the textbook revision work.
Highlighting the short period since the new government took charge, Kumar pointed out that the government was already focused on textbook revision. He directly criticized Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in his post, urging him to allow the new Primary and Secondary Education Minister, Madhu Bangarappa, sufficient time to gather information from department officials before making decisions about classroom lessons.
Kumar also questioned Siddaramaiah's intentions regarding the teaching of Indian philosophy to children, suggesting that the Chief Minister's focus lies in filling textbooks with stories about the Gandhi family and foreign attacks on India. He mocked Siddaramaiah, asking if the Chief Minister intended to introduce the concept of slavery into education to express gratitude to those who helped him secure a second term as Chief Minister.
