A ‘position paper on knowledge of India’ in Karnataka's new education policy has called Pythagoras theorem, an apple falling on Newton’s and other scientific issues as “fake news”. The position paper in primary and secondary education proposes that students should not merely accept the contents of textbooks as “infallible truth” and question how “fake news” is “created and propagated” by the west.
