Private school in Bengaluru asks alumnus to change Gyanvapi Mosque to "Temple" on Google Maps
The school had donated to Ram Mandir, made staff mandatorily attend screening of The Kashmir Files
Bengaluru: A popular private school in Bengaluru has reportedly sent an email to its alumni with an attachment urging them to change the name of Gyanvapi mosque to “Gyanvapi Temple” on Google maps.
The letter written to the alumni on the school’s letterhead further requested its alumni to ask “Hindu brothers and sisters” to go through a similar process till Google updates the changes.
The New Horizon Public School (NHPS) had sent this mass email to its alumni on 20 May, Friday evening, a report published in The Quint stated adding that they accessed the copy of the mail.
The mail, titled ‘Gyanvapi temple instead of gyanvapi mosque’, also has a list of directions the alumni have been asked to follow in order to change the name of the Gyanvapi mosque. The mail comes at a time when there is a heated controversy and an ongoing court case surrounding the Gyanvapi mosque in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi.
The New Horizon educational group had earlier donated to the Ram Mandir Trust, held a Bhoomi poojan ceremony in the school on the occasion of the Ram Mandir groundbreaking, and also made its staff mandatorily attend a screening of The Kashmir Files, The Quint’s report added.
After the school received backlash from some alums over the Gyanvapi email, the NHPS subsequently put out a statement on its Instagram page addressing the issue. The statement said: "We wish to clarify that the email was sent without proper screening procedures that is required for all our email communications."
