Taking serious exception to indications by the new government about reversing the textbook revision exercise taken up by the erstwhile BJP regime, former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai remarked that society would respond to such a move.
“We had introduced certain new lessons based on Indian culture, literature and principles. However, the new government is trying to target this, and is set to form a new committee to reverse this. The society will respond to this,” Mr. Bommai told mediapersons in Bengaluru on May 30.
“Parents are observing the moves of the new government. Students should not be inconvenienced due to frequent revisions in textbooks. Let us see how responsibly this government will behave,” he said, indicating that the BJP has adopted a wait-and-watch strategy with respect to textbook revision.
