Karnataka's Political Clash Over Curriculum

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah criticized Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy for proposing the inclusion of the Bhagavad Gita in school curricula after forming an alliance with the BJP. Siddaramaiah labeled Kumaraswamy a 'Manuvadi,' while also paying homage to B R Ambedkar and his conversion to Buddhism due to Hinduism's caste system.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has openly criticized Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, labeling him a 'Manuvadi' after his political alliance with the BJP, which sparked controversy over curriculum changes in schools.

The criticism came in response to Kumaraswamy's letter to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, advocating for the inclusion of the Bhagavad Gita in school curricula, a move seen as aligning with more traditional Hindu values.

Siddaramaiah also paid tribute to B R Ambedkar, highlighting his contribution to the Indian Constitution and his adoption of Buddhism due to his disenchantment with the Hindu caste system.
