School students in Rajasthan will no longer study two-part supplementary textbooks with state Education Minister Madan Dilawar arguing that these reading materials are not required because they glorify the Nehru-Gandhi family and carry no marks for students.

Rajasthan min drops book citing 'Gandhi family bias'

The Congress has attacked the minister over the decision, saying that the government can remove textbooks from the syllabus but cannot change people’s minds.

Minister Dilawar said that the books ‘Azadi ke Baad ka Swarnim Bharat’ Part-1 and Part-2 carry no marks and, therefore, he directed the officials of the department to discontinue teaching these books.

“These books, which the previous Congress government introduced, do not carry any marks for the exams. They were only meant for reading. Without any academic weight, there was no point in continuing them so I have directed that the Education Department will not teach such books,” Dilawar said.
