India: 'How did Gandhiji commit suicide?’, a question asked in Gujarat school exam

Ahmedabad, 14 Oct 2019, (UMMn): An examination question on how Mahatma Gandhi committed suicide has shocked the world.

Another question about boot-legging in alcohol free Gujarat has also annoyed the local education 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', an official said to PTI.

Question papers were set by the management of these schools, run under the banner of Sufalam Shala Vikas Sankul, an organisation, though partly self-financed, gets government grants to run schools and educational institutions.

These questions are highly objectionable and we have initiated an inquiry, Gandhinagar's district education officer Bharat Vadher told PTI.
