Bengaluru, Oct 30: The state government, after deciding to do away with the plans to celebrate Tipu Sultan birth anniversary, is now thinking on dropping the lessons on Tipu Sultan in school textbooks.

According to reliable sources, the Primary and Secondary Education minister S Suresh Kumar, had reportedly sought a report from the department on dropping the lessons on Tipu Sultan.

The minister’s action was prompted by a representation made from the BJP MLA, from Madikeri, Appachu Ranjan, seeking to remove all chapters on Tipu Sultan, the legendary warrior, who was a nightmare to the British rulers in the late 19th centuries, from the state text books.

The BJP MLA, Ranjan, in his letter has reportedly claimed that Tipu Sultan had been glorified in the history textbooks and all the information provided about him was not true.

This brainless, corrupt, RSSS, have no heart, no brain.

There is no such a worst selfish community in the world.

 

For their selfishness, they killed Father of Nation.

They glorified the killer and started worshipping him.

They want to award Bharat Ratna to their mentor Savarkar  who should have been hanged for spreading hatterd. .

 

Their strength is illiteracy of the people  in the country.

They spoiled the whole nation, made the industry to close and made the employees as jobless.

 

The time will come soon to face the consequences.

the nation is in the hands of brainless devils.

God save the country.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."
