Assam family recently discovered that their act of kindness towards an orphaned civet cat had become part of an NCERT textbook used by students across India. According to a TOI report, Dharani Saikia and his wife Anjali were surprised to learn that the story of Bhakat, a civet cub they rescued and raised in 2009, had been included in an NCERT Class X English workbook.
The unexpected discovery came through their younger son, Gibbon Saikia, who returned home after completing his board examinations at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Dhing, Assam.
