Rajasthan Education Minister's Controversial Book Ban

Rajasthan School Education Minister Madan Dilawar plans to remove two class 12 books, claiming they glorify Congress leaders. Congress accused the action as a BJP and RSS ideological attack, arguing it distorts history and diminishes contributions of key national figures. Over 4.90 lakh copies are in circulation.

In a controversial move, Rajasthan School Education Minister Madan Dilawar announced he would remove two books from the class 12 curriculum. He argues that these books unfairly glorify Congress leaders, particularly the Gandhi family, while neglecting significant contributions of other national figures.

Congress quickly criticized the decision as an ideological assault orchestrated by the BJP and RSS. They claimed that Dilawar's decision attempts to erase the historical contributions of former prime ministers and key national institutions, accusing the government of distorting history for political gains.

With over 4.90 lakh copies already distributed, Congress insists the books were initially sanctioned by BJP officials. They question the sudden rationale for removal and describe the action as a waste of government resources, further straining the educational system's integrity.
