ot just in the textbook prepared by the Rohith Chankrathirtha, there were mistakes in lesson on Basavanna in the textbooks prepared by the previous committees too headed by Prof.
Baraguru Ramachandrappa and Prof. Mudambadithaya,according to Saanehalli Sri Panditharadhya Shivacharya Swamiji.
The Seer has written a letter in this regard to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
“There are many mistakes in the Lesson on Basavanna in the Social Sciences Part 1 Textbook of 9th standard brought out by the committee headed by Rohith Chankrathirtha.
Earlier Baraguru Ramachandrappa and Prof. GS Mudambadithaya had headed the textbook review committees.
The Mudambadithaya committee had included many aspects which were slanderous to Basava Philosophy in the text.
The Baraguru Ramachandrappa committee had drastically changed it, the Seer has said in his letter.
So in this background it is better to drop the earlier textbooks and prepare new textbooks for the students, the Seer has said.
The Seer has also stated that he has sent two texts to him(CM) and requested the Chief Minister to take a close look at them, and take suitable action.
