Following the furore over an e-mail to alumni asking ‘Hindu brothers and sisters to change the location of Gyanvapi mosque to Gyanvapi temple on Google Maps’, New Horizon Public School in Bengaluru has released a statement saying that the school ‘embraces diversity’ and the ‘e-mail was sent without proper screening that is required of all our email communication’.
The email was sent to alumni three days ago. It gave detailed instructions on how to change the location of Gyanvapi mosque to Gyanvapi temple in Varanasi. Many alumni had criticised the school for the email on social media platforms.
Suraj Sudarshan said, “As a school, you should be promoting secularism! You should not be sending out sensitive mails like this.”
