Karnataka’s new Class 6 Kannada textbook is facing backlash over allegations of saffronisation and claims that it promotes vegetarianism while ignoring the state’s diverse food culture. Activists have demanded revisions to the textbook, including references to eggs and meat as part of Karnataka’s food diversity, and a change in the textbook’s title from “Krishna.”The controversy has sparked a wider debate over school curriculum, cultural representation, food diversity, ideology in education, textbook politics and how state identity should be reflected in classrooms. n18oc_indian18oc_politicsn18oc_brass-tacksNews18 Mobile App – https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
