It is illogical but the content of textbooks is changed with the new Chief Minister. Ms. Jayalalithaa is striking off any reference of former CM M.Karunanidhi in school textbooks. A green sheet or a permanent marker id used to struck off the references. However, in the process, the names of many great Tamil scholars are also removed. Even, C.N. Annadurai, the founder of DMK party is also out of the books. Sadly, all this got an administrative approval.
The question is what right do politicians have to add or delete content of textbooks? Politicians can at least spare school children from their vengeance.
Very unfortunately, nobody seems to take this as an important issue. The media is too obsessed with "Anna Hazare".
