BENGALURU: The Karnataka government has decided to soon publish the changed content of revised school textbooks alongside the old textbook on the web portal of Karnataka Text Book Society to let readers make an unbiased comparison in the changes made to the state syllabus textbooks.
Sources said the government will publish only the contested and controversial passages of the old and revised textbooks. Primary and secondary education minister BC Nagesh told TOI that the move is aimed at ensuring transparency in the revision process and the government was open to making a course correction if readers raised "genuine objections" to any part of the text. The textbook revision has raised the hackles of writers and parties which have alleged that the exercise is a bid to saffronise the school curriculum.
