Bal Gangadhar Tilak referenced as father of terrorism in Rajasthans class 8 textbook

Bal Gangadhar Tilak referenced as ‘father of terrorism’ in Rajasthan’s class 8 textbook



In book printed by a Matura-based publisher, Bal Gangadhar Tilak is referenced as a ‘father of terrorsim’. The book is used by various private English-medium schools affiliated to RBSE. Books by the Rajasthan State Textbook Board are published in Hindi and therefore, students, who wants to study in English, are forced to study from the reference books. “Tilak demonstrated a path towards national movement, therefore, he is called as the father of terrorism,” reads page 267 of chapter 22 of the book. “Tilak clearly believed that we cannot achieve anything just by pleading the British officers. Through Shivaji and Ganpati festivals, Tilak aroused unique awareness in the country. He instilled the mantra of freedom among the masses, due to which he became a thorn in the eyes of the British,” the book reads. Officials at the publishing company said that the mistake has been rectified in the revised edition. “The translators made the mistake. It had come to our notice and was corrected in the revised edition last month. The first edition was published last year,” Rajpal Singh, a production official at the publisher’s office, told PTI.
