Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Subhas Chandra Bose fake nationalist? http://ultracurrents.blogspot.com/ January 12 2008 , Samachar KENDRAPARA: After Bhagat Singh was called a terrorist in a school textbook in Orissa triggering a revulsion, a testpaper for Class VII now says Netaji was a fake nationalist. The recent edition in Oriya describes him as & #65533;bhanda (fake) jatiyabadi neta on page 45. Testpaper, acts a guide for students preparing for examinations. Protesting such an act, a farmers leader in Kendrapara district, Gayadhar Dhal, today filed an FIR against the publisher Malhotra Book Depot (MBD). “Last week, we wrote letters to the Chief Minister, Governor, the Prime Minister and the President but in absence of any reply, we decided to file an FIR against the publisher,” Dhal, secretary of the District Krushak Sabha, added. Last year, a textbook of the Board of Secondary Education described Bhagat Singh as a terrorist. After widespread resentment, an apologetic publisher corrected the mistake. Incidentally, Netaji was born in Cuttack and studied in Ravenshaw Collegiate School. After getting disillusioned with the Congress, Bose, then in house arrest, hoodwinked the British police and fled out of the country. He went on to form the Indian National Army to fight the British. “It is a shame for everybody that the publisher can describe him as a fake nationalist, said Purosotam Nayak, a noted freedom-fighter. OIC of Kendrapara police station said they have received an FIR from Dhal and are investigating. http://publication.samachar.com/pub_article.php?id=1059710 http://ultracurrents.blogspot.com/ ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
