Hindutva Fundamentalists Lose California Textbook Court Case

( Via South Asia Citizens Web(SACW) )

Hindutva groups backed CAPEEM loses the California Textbook Court Case.

Here is the Text of Summary Judgment.

The list of edits being debated about here are listed here.

Notice how unlike the seemingly valid misrepresentations listed by CAPEEM on their website, the actual edits being disputed by them in court is totally different. Similar to BJP’s attempt in textbook distortion in India, CAPEEM is also advocating edits which among others, dispute: Aryan invasion on India, casteism in hindu society, any mention of criticism of Hinduism being the reason behind the birth of Buddhism and Jainism, lower rights for women in hindu society, presence on untouchability in hindu society, etc.

    nice post. The changes proposed were ridiculous..although I wonder if this matter is so straight-forward...there's too much politics involved..I won't be surprised if the initial text was influenced by christian evangelicals in the first place :-)

    btw I was reading about the criticisms hurled against FOSA...do you have any idea if they are true?
