Couple of days the Karnataka state BJP tweeted that “...textbooks must be rewritten to portray the real Tipu Sultan to our children. They should be made aware of the Tyrant's cruelty against Hindus & his anti-Kannada rule”, the Karnataka Chief Minister, B S Yediyurappa, has on Wednesday said the history lessons glorifying Tipu Sultan shall be removed from school textbooks.
“We
are trying to remove the Tipu Sultan’s history lessons from textbooks in the
state. These topics must not be given space in textbooks. 101% we are not going
to allow such things to happen,” he said in Bengaluru.
“By
ending public celebrations of Tipu Jayanti, our CM has restored dignity to
Kannadigas. As the next step, textbooks must be rewritten to portray the real
Tipu Sultan to our Children. They should be made aware of the Tyrant’s cruelty
against Hindus & his anti Kannada rule”, the Karnataka state BJP tweeted
after the CM’s quick action in this regard.
