Assam: Uproar sparked over Class 10 students 'opinion' on communal question asked in board exam by SEBA
Digital Desk: A question from the ongoing Class 10 High School Leaving Examination (HSLE) administered by the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) has sparked a debate on social media, leaving netizens perplexed.
The query, which was published in the Social Science article, raised questions about the fairness of a government hospital that provides free treatment only to Hindus while charging individuals of other religions for medical services.
The question stated: "Suppose the government has established a hospital in the village of Dambuk. The facility offers free care to Hindus. People of different religions are responsible for their own medical expenses. Can the government implement such steps in a country like India? Please express your view."
The question quickly spread throughout social media sites, with many users voicing worries about the discriminatory nature of such questions.
The dispute has spawned a broader conversation about education's role in cultivating inclusive attitudes and encouraging harmony among India's varied religious communities.
