They will never bother to revise the text book material for several years. Perhaps you can write to the minister in charge of education. You will be doing a great service to the youngsters of this country.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, your school was following Dudely Stamp which is an old English geography book written by a foreigner. He must have died several decades back and the schools in their great wisdom still follow it. As the saying goes:THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for sharing this useful information.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful day :)Joseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11511615.post-16390670614051941112009-03-03T20:19:00.000+05:302009-03-03T20:19:00.000+05:30Fascinating, sespecially as you didn't even know! ...Fascinating, sespecially as you didn't even know!
