SCERT cuts Kashmir off India map
Thursday June 20, 2013

In yet another controversy, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has reportedly omitted a major part of Jammu and Kashmir from the map in one of the lessons in an eighth class textbook.

The issue was brought to light by the Andhra Pradesh Upadhyaya Sangham (APUS).

“In a lesson about crops of India in the eighth class textbooks, the map in one of the illustrations does not have a major portion of Kashmir, including many areas bordering Pakistan,” Said Venkat Rao, general secretary, APUS.

He added that his organisation took the matter to the notice of the State Project Director but no action had been taken.

Get this. According to the state government, a part of Kashmir, the Andaman Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep Islands are not a part of India!

In a major goof-up in the eighth class biology textbook, prepared by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), a major part of Kashmir, bordering Pakistan, and the two islands have been omitted from a map of the nation. The illustration of the nation’s outline was printed as part of a lesson on the crops in India in the textbook.

“What will the coming generation of children learn if the government disseminates this kind of wrong information to them?” said Venkat Rao, state president of the Andhra Pradesh Upadhyaya Sangham (APUS) at a press conference here on Thursday. Rao added that the association members had met the officials of the state government’s education department and apprised them of the misprint on June 11.

The map still has flaws and requires one more omission i.e Aksai chin which is an integral part of PRC along with designating the rest of kashmir as a disputed territory. Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir are naturally an integral part of Pakistan. Why the big fuss from Indians? They should appreciate the fact that their kids will be learning the truth and grow up without chanakyan wet dreams.
