New Delhi: The Gandhi family has always been revered in textbooks and the latest to find space in our Indian textbook is Gandhi Scion Rahul Gandhi!
A class 5 CBSE English guidebook carries a passage on Rahul Gandhi which, glorifies his persona.
The passage in the book titled “Together with English” (CCE-based 5) reads, “Part of the fifth generation of India’s most revered, influential and charismatic political family, Rahul Gandhi is also , like sister Priyanka, natural at public life.
The low profile Rahul surprised the nation with his energy, humility and charisma when he plunged into electoral politics. Sceptics wondered whether this young man, who had spent most of his life in the US and Britain would be able to adjust to rough-and-tumble of Indian political life. But not only did the “young Rahul take to politics like proverbial duck to water”, he also exhibited “impressive confidence and maturity. Today, he is very much part of the Congress party’s new crop of bright young politicians.”
The book has been written by Meera Wadhwa and published by Rachna Sagar Pvt Limited, Delhi.
