short by Jayant Singh / on Wednesday, 1 July, 2026
An inaccurate death date of mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan is among the multiple mistakes spotted in Maharashtra’s new CBSE-based textbooks.

Following the row, the centre that introduced the textbook said the discrepancies have been noted and will be rectified in the next edition.
