X
What are the reasons for unemployment in india? You may say Defective education, Inadequate Employment Planning, Slow Economic Growth and Constant increase in population. No..Here is another reason causing unemployment in the nation.

An excerpt from a class 10 textbook in Chhattisgarh claims that working women are the cause of rising unemployment in the nation.

The shocking revelation came to light after teacher in the Jashpur district who came across the matter has filed a petition in the state women's commission against the same. "Women have started working in all sectors post-independence and percentage of unemployment has increased because of this’’The textbook published by Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education claimed.

The commission now took matter up with Chief Minister Raman Singh.However this is not the first time. Earlier also there were several incidents of misrepresentation of facts in the textbooks.

In 2014, school text books of West Bengal labelled revolutionary freedom fighters as 'terrorists'. In 2012, textbook in a CBSE school had claimed that non-vegetarians always used to lie, cheat.

People are always talking about women empowerment and gender equality but this type of reports really hamper the spirit of noble causes.
