Karnataka govt decides to delete Tipu Sultan chapter from 7th standard textbook

Bengaluru, Jul 28(UNI) In a controversial move, the State Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has decided to delete a Chapter relating to the ruler of erstwhile Mysuru kingdom, Tippu Sultan from the seventh standard textbooks.
According to official sources, the decision to delete the reference to Tippu Sultan was the part of the state Education Department's decision to down-size the contents of text books by over 30 per cent following non-opening of schools due to Covid-19 pandemic.
The deletion of any reference to erstwhile Mysuru ruler Tippu Sultan, who had taught bitter lessons to the colonial British powers in the past, was on the cards, ever since the BJP government came to power in the state.
