Rahul Gandhi defends book with derogatory religious references, sparking row
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticized the Union government over its inquiry into university courses that include Jyotirao Phule's 'Gulamgiri'. The book contains derogatory references to Brahma. Gandhi's defense of the book, which reportedly calls Brahma 'R**dibaaz' and 'Betic**d', has ignited a political and academic controversy. The Ministry of Education had sought details from central universities about courses featuring works by BR Ambedkar, Jyotirao Phule, and other "anti-caste" thinkers.
