Former chief minister Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP government in Rajasthan of trying to wipe out “the creator of modern India” from history after reports that the country’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was removed from a school textbook.
It was reported that two new chapters, called National Movement, in the Class 8 social science textbook of schools affiliated to the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education excluded portions on Congress stalwarts such as Nehru, Sarojini Naidu and Madan Mohan Malviya.
