Sita was abducted by Rama, says Gujarat Class 12 Sanskrit textbook

Ahmedabad: The Gujarat State Board of School Textbooks (GSBST) Class 12 Sanskrit textbook says Sita was abducted by Lord Ram.

The error appears in a paragraph describing poet Kalidas’ ‘Raghuvansham’. The offending line on Page 106 of the textbook’s English version reads: “There is a very heart-touching description of the message conveyed by Laxman to Ram when Sita was abducted by Rama.”

The textbook has other errors too.

The GSBST has admitted to having made the error and promised to rectify it at the earliest.
