Following uproar over a viral CBSE Class 10 French textbook cover page showing a wrong map of India, the Central Board of Secondary Education clarified saying, "the book is from the 2014 edition". CBSE PRO Rama Sharma said, "the cover page of the Class 10 French Textbook which inadvertently shows the wrong map is from an earlier phased out edition of 2014 of the textbook. The revised version is available at CBSE website."
As per CBSE, the Class 10 French textbook is the fourth revised edition which was published by the Academics and Training Wing, CBSE. The tweet by Legal Rights Observatory- LRO claimed that the cover page of the book has wrong version of India's map. “Hey@cbseindia29 is this true? Don't U recognize Jammu n Kashmir as integral part of India? Or you still have leftist gang holding tight control over school book section? U r touching new heights- from Gender Confusion in kids to JK Separatism! Amazing,” read the tweet.
