After Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has also made a “grand entry” into CBSE class 5 guidebook.
An English comprehension book prescribed by several CBSE schools across India has a passage on Rahul which pays glowing tributes to the party vice-president.
The passage in the book titled “Together with English” (CCE-based 5) reads, “Part of fifth generation of India’s most reverend, influential and charismatic political family, Rahul Gandhi is also, like sister Priyanka, natural at public life.”
The passage continues, “The low profile Rahul surprised the nation with his energy, humility and charisma when he plunged into electoral politics.”
The book has been written by Meera Wadhwa and published by Rachna Sagar Pvt Limited, Delhi.
Seems to be mesmerised by Rahul’s “charisma” the writer also says, “Sceptics wondered whether this young man, who had spent most of his life in the US and Britain would be able to adjust to rough-and-tumble of Indian political life. But not only did the “young Rahul take to politics like proverbial duck to water”, he also exhibited “impressive confidence and maturity.” The passage then asks four questions to students including how did he surprised the nation and what did the sceptics wonder.
Deepshikha Shrivastav, Principal of Rajhans Vidyalay (CBSE), Andheri says, “CBSE doesn’t prescribe any book up to class 8. So, schools are free to select their books from private publishers. Moreover, this is a guidebook which we don’t prescribe.” Another principal termed the book as “fiction.”
However, the news created a huge controversy since it was broke on Twitter on Thursday.
Writer Wadhva couldn’t be contacted. The officials of Rachna Sagar publication admitted that the book is widely being used but refused to comment further. “Our director will call you after sometime,” said an editorial desk member. However, there was no communication from the publication.

English fiction in Class 5 textbooks: 'Rahul Gandhi exhibited impressive confidence and maturity'
Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi seems to have got another feather in his cap. He is now rubbing shoulders with the likes of Mahatama Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in what is said to be a Class 5 guidebook published by Rachna Sagar publishers.
Unreal Times attempted to answer the questions. See how they fared below.
A full passage and relevant questions are dedicated to Rahul Gandhi in the book titled "Together with English" (CCE Based 5).
The passage reads:
"Part of the fifth generation of India's most reverend [sic], influential and charismatic political family, Rahul Gandhi is also, like sister Priyanka, natural at public life.
"The low-profile Rahul surprised the nation with his energy, humility and charisma when he plunged into electoral politics, winning from Amethi on a Congress ticket.
The Unreal Times answer sheet.^^
"Sceptics wondered whether this young man, who'd spent most of his life in the US and Britain, would be able to adjust to the rough-and-tumble of Indian political life. But not only did the young Rahul take to politics like the proverbial duck to water, he also exhibited impressive confidence and maturity. Today, he is very much part of the Congress party's new crop of bright young politicians."
The photograph which was doing the rounds on Twitter had elicited a number of reactions.
One user named Ashwini wrote, "I swear if Modi and his goons weren't such bigots, I'd switch over to supporting BJP in a flash to avoid Congress's sycophantic b******t...Makes me sick."
Krupakar wrote, "Polluting kids brain."
Geminiseventh wrote, "India has become such a hopeless country!"

That's a bit old news, but I have discovered it now. Requesting all not to make it a Congress vs BJP debate. I would like to have all member's opinion on whether such practices can be called a politically motivated propaganda to "Brainwash" young & innocent kids in favor of an "Active" politician, and an attempt to create a long-lasting positive image of a politician and a political party for future dividends? Do we spend our hard-earned money and send our kids to school for this? Should such practices be considered as criminal conspiracies and should be punishable by law? Your opinion please.
