The review of II Pre-University history textbook has been put on hold for now, as the Rohith Chakrathirtha-led textbook revision committee has been dissolved. The committee had been earlier tasked with reviewing the lesson “Hosa Dharmagala Udaya” (genesis of new faiths) in the textbook. But Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai dissolved the committee last week following controversy over the revision of Class I to X textbooks.
“Now that the committee has been dissolved, the review of II PU history textbook has been put on hold for now. We will look into it at a later stage,” said B.C. Nagesh, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education. The entire exercise of revision by the Mr. Chakrathirtha-led panel had begun after objections were raised to this particular lesson by the Karnataka Brahmin Mahasabha in 2021.
