Omission of chapter on Sufi saint in J&K textbook sparks row
Hindustan Times Chandigarh|December 18, 2024
SRINAGAR: The apparent omission of a chapter about Kashmir's revered Sufi saint in the Class 9 text book by J&K school education department has triggered a row with former mayor and deputy mayor of Srinagar targeting the Omar Abdullah led National Conference government for its claims of protecting the region's identity.

Former Srinagar mayor Junaid Azim Mattu took to Twitter to share a picture of the English text book from tulip series with previous and fresh version (revised Dec 2023) of contents page published by J&K state board of school education (JKBOSE).

The fresh prose section of the book reveals only six chapters, instead of seven earlier. The earlier version of the book contained a chapter on Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali (R.A), a prominent Sufi saint of the valley, which the new version doesn't reflect.
