WB textbooks declare anti-British leader as Brahmin killer
Syed Mir Nisar Ali alias Titumir, the leader of India's first armed peasant uprising against the British, was described as a Muslim fundamentalist who killed Brahmins, in state-approved textbooks in West Bengal. The controversial parts of the Class X 'History and Environment' textbooks were, however, revoked after protests by historians and academicians in the state.
