IGNOU withdraws History books
New Delhi | July 19, 2006 4:43:00 PM IST
IGNOU has withdrawn the Hindi course material which wrongly depicted a mythological event, hurting religious sentiments, saying it was an ''inadvertent omission'' in translation. ''We get most of the study material translated and the mistake was an inadvertent omission during that process. We regret the mistake and have withdrawn the books,'' IGNOU Vice-Chancellor S C Garg told UNI here. The Hindi M A second year books, translated from English, had an incorrect reference about Shaivaism and incarnations of Lord Shiva. He said fresh material will be provided to students in the second year and also to those who have graduated to third year. ''We need to correct the wrong perception of the students The entire lot has been withdrawn with immediate effect and the fresh batch of books is being printed,'' he said. The VC said the university will be careful that such incidents are not repeated in the future. The issue had created a controversy with many organisations claiming that religious sentiments of people have been hurt. UNI NR MQA BD1519
