Slander against RSS removed from Tamilnadu School Text-Book. A

Heartening Precedence

Vishwa Samvad Kendra, Chennai

 

It is a case of a history text-book making history of sorts.

Tamilnadu

state government did what no authority has done so far in free

Bharat.

Its education secretary has ordered removal of an offending

reference

to RSS obviously bowing to representations from Sangh.

 

In lesson 19 in the 12th Standard History text book (published by theate of School Education, Tamilnadu) under the heading 'India

After Independence', it was mentioned that 'The most important event

after Independence was the murder of Gandhi by a Hindu fanatic and a

member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Nathuram Vinayak Godse'.

 

The R.S.S held protest demonstrations throughout Tamilnadu demanding

the

removal of the blatant falsehood that Gandhi's assassin Nathuram

Godse

was a member of that organisation. Petitions were sent to various

authorities including the Prime Minister. A team comprising of Sri.

U.

Sundar, the Prant Pracharak of RSS Uttar Tamilnadu,

Sri.K.N.Lakshmanan,

BJP MLA, and Sri. S. Srinivasan, advocate of the Madras High Court,

met

the Director of School Education, Tamilnadu, and presented a petition

demanding removal of the offending portion from the text-book. Sri.

H.Raja, BJP MLA from Karaikudi, filed a case against Professor

Mangala

Murugesan who was instrumental in the preparation of this text-book.

 

A petition was also filed by Sri. R.V.S.Marimuthu, Sanghachalak of

Samyuktha Tamilnadu in the Madras High Court. The Honourable Court

issued notices to the Director of School Education and the Tamilnadu

Government.

 

Meanwhile Smt.Girija Vaidyanathan, Secretary in the Department of

School

Education has issued an order (Letter (MS) no 187, School Education

dated 3.10.05) directing the Director of School Education to remove

the

offending portion immediately. As per the order it has been directed

to

remove the offending portion as above and in its place include only

that

'The most important event after the Independence was the murder of

Gandhi by Nathuram Vinayak Godse'.

 

It has become a practice for vested interests to spread false and

malicious propaganda against the RSS. But it is heartening to note

that

RSS has been confronting them by democratic protests and achieving

victory in every instance.

 

A statement welcoming the action of the Tamilnadu government in

removing

the offending portion was issued by Sri R.V.S. Marimuthu, Tamilnadu

Sanghachalak. He has also demanded that relevant order has to be

properly implemented by the concerned Government officials.

 

Similar action as in the case of the RSS has to be taken in respect

of

the portions in the same text-book describing Freedom Fighters and

Patriots like Veerapandia Kattabomman, Mahkavi Subramania Bharathi,

Bala

Gangadhar Tilak and Bhagat Singh as terrorists. These portions have

also

to be removed forthwith. The Government has to take action against

persons like Mangala Murugesan who are bent upon injecting poison in

the

minds of young and impressionable minds. Then only the future

generation

can be saved from such mischief-mongers.
