New Delhi: Just days after the Ambedkar cartoon created an uproar in Parliament, yet another cartoon in an NCERT textbook seems to have upset the politicians, this time in the south. A cartoon in the Class 12 Political Science textbook in Tamil Nadu highlights the state's anti-Hindi agitations in 1938 and 1965. The twin agitations were spearheaded by the Dravidian parties including the DK and the DMK. The parties have now condemned the cartoon, saying it ridicules their movement.
