It is reported in the Times of India today, 23rd September 2015, that a Class X Text Book published by the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education, contains the following  sentence: “Working Women are one of the causes of unemployment in the country”! How stupid and nonsense! Does it mean that women should not work and should be contained in their homes doing cooking and other house hold chores? Does it mean that unemployment does not include women? Are women not part of the society? It is surprising such feudalistic and chauvinist ideas are being included for the study of  children.

The State and Central Governments should immediately act and remove such uncivilised, anti-women and sexist portions from the books which are being taught to the future generations. Tough action should be taken against the culprits responsible for including such nonsense in the text book.
