AHMEDABAD : An embarrassed state education department swung into action following the TOI report ‘Sita was once abducted by means of Ram, says Class XII Gujarat textbook’ on Monday, which highlighted glaring factual errors in the HSC Sanskrit textbook.
Gujarat education minister Bhupendra Chusadasama mentioned an inquiry has been ordered into the ‘typographical bonafide mistake’. “The mistake in the textbook of the class XII common flow English medium Sanskrit textbook is corrected,” the minister tweeted.
A observation from the state govt mentioned: “The word ‘abducted’ is misprinted as a substitute of ‘abandoned’. This mistake is best in English model. In original Gujarati medium textbook, this mistake isn't found (sic).”
Chudasama mentioned the error was once a translation error and no longer intentional. “An in depth inquiry has been initiated into this and essential corrections in the online version of the e book have been made. I've ordered to bar the services of the erring translators and proofreaders of the e book.”
The class XII Sanskrit textbook revealed by means of the Gujarat State Board of School Textbook (GSBST), on web page number 106, mentioned that “Sita was once abducted by means of Rama” whilst living on the epic “Raghuvansham” by means of the well-known Sanskrit poet Kalidas.
Nitin Pethani, govt president of Gujarat State Board of School Textbooks (GSBST), mentioned action might be taken towards the panel that gave the overall approval to the textbooks.
In the digital reproduction of the e book, the error has been rectified by means of changing the word ‘abducted’ with ‘abandoned’. A political spat broke out over the textbook blooper, as the Congress alleged that the error about Lord Ram in the e book hurts the religious sentiments of crores of Hindus. “The state education department and the textbook board should ask for forgiveness for hurting the sentiments of Hindus. The textbook board and education department have been tampering with facts by means of religiously repeating mistakes in books.
The liability of the erring officials of the education department and the board should be fixed, reasonably than punishing proofreaders,” mentioned Gujarat Congress spokesman Manish Doshi.
BJP spokesman Bharat Pandya mentioned this was once only a mistake of a word which can’t be politicized by means of the Congress, a party, he claimed “never believed in the life of Lord Ram”.
“The mistake in the textbook was once only a blunder of 1 word but the ideology of Congress is stuffed with blunders,” mentioned Pandya.
