Hyderabad: Telangana government has made it clear the textbooks should not contain anything related to Andhra history. “Instructions are very clear. Nothing related to Andhra’s culture or history should be there. Everything should be from Telangana’s perspective. Obviously references will be there in some parts but anything exclusively about Andhra region is to be removed,” a senior official said.
S. Jagannath Reddy, director, State Council of Educational Research and Training said, “For instance, if there is a chapter related to some poet from Andhra, it will be removed and Telangana related coursework will be added.
The government also does not want the curriculum to be inflated to include aspects related to both states. TRS election manifesto also promised that the history and culture of Telangana will be included in school text books. “We can expand that course work but exactly what to delete and what to add will be decided once the committees meets. We will hold workshops,” Jagannath Reddy said.
