Parents and students in India's western state of Gujarat are up in arms over school textbooks full of glaring errors. The textbook makes statements such as: "Japan dropped a nuclear bomb on the US during World War II," and "Proportion of poisonous gas CO3 has increased due to cutting of trees," as well as incorrectly reporting that "Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on October 30, 1948." In fact, carbon trioxide is not normally found in nature, and India's independence leader was killed on 30 January 1948. Gujarat's Standard 8 social science textbook - being used by more than 50,000 students - is said to be particularly bad with more than 120 errors. A true world power?
