Imposition of Marxist culture in TBSE ! | AGARTALA, May 25 ((TIWN): In a shocking attempt to indoctrinate students with a flawed vision of our country's history, the Left Front government in Tripura led by its poster boy Manik Sarkar, the Honest(?) and Poorest(?) Chief Minister, has removed almost the entire Indian history from class 9 social science textbooks(history) altogether. Tripura’s Left Front government has removed Indian history from Class 9 textbooks altogether. The only national icon that figures in the book is Mahatma Gandhi,surprisingly not for his contribution to India’s freedom movement but for his views on cricket. Students in CPI-M ruled Tripura are supposed to be taught about the nobility and contributions of Karl Marx and Hitler but nothing about Indian freedom fighters is the hardliner belief of Manik Sarkar led Gov't. As such history of India's freedom struggle wont find any page in the history books meant for the students of Tripura reading under TBSE and its Comrade President Mihir Deb.
