  • 5 years ago
It's the latest controversy involving the content of school textbooks that could turn out to be a major embarrassment for the Army and even the CBSE. A new CBSE textbook for class 3 in an Army School in Srinagar depicts the map of Jammu and Kashmir as exactly how Pakistan claims it to be. Reportedly, the map terms Pakistan occupied Kashmir region as 'Azad Jammu and Kashmir'. The term is actually used by Pakistan to describe the region. Furthermore, the Gilgit-Baltistan region which is a part of Pakistan occupied Kashmir is also termed as Northern Areas, as Pakistan calls it. The book is published by Prabhat Publisher house from New Delhi.
