Ahemdabad: A question was asked in the ninth class in a school exam on how Mahatma Gandhi committed suicide has shocked the Gujarat education authorities, prompting them to initiate an inquiry into it.

Another question about bootlegging in Gujarat has also erupted the education officials too.

According to the officials “Gandhijiye aapghaat karwa maate shu karyu?” (how did Gandhiji commit suicide?) was the question asked in Gujarati to Class 9 students during an internal assessment examination of schools run under the banner of ‘Sufalam Shala Vikas Sankul’,.

The Sufalam Shala Vikas Sankul is an organization of some self-financed schools and educational institutions getting government grants in Gandhinagar.

Another question in an exam paper of Class 12 students was about “writing a letter to district police chief complaining about the rise in the sale of liquor in your area and nuisance created by bootleggers”.

“On Sunday a cluster of self-financed schools and those getting grants included these two questions for internal assessment exams held. These questions are highly objectionable, even wrong and we have initiated an inquiry. Action will be taken after the report comes in,” said Gandhinagar’s district education officer Bharat Vadher.

Education Officer said the question papers were set by the management of these schools, run under the banner of Sufalam Shala Vikas Sankul, and the state education department had nothing to do with it.

Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse in the year 1948. Such a question asked in the exam paper will seriously create doubt if the providers of education are teaching our kids our history right.
