Tipu Lessons in K’taka School Textbooks to Stay, Expert Panel Says

The panel has noted that the lessons on Mysuru would be incomplete without mentioning the role Tipu Sultan played.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the history of Tipu Sultan being taught to children in schools in Karnataka. Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had earlier made it clear that they were trying to remove all mention of Tipu Sultan from textbooks. However, the expert committee, which was formed to look into the issue, has now decided to retain the lessons and said that nothing would be changed.
