In a recent incident that has sparked outrage on social media, a question from a public service preparation book titled ‘Gamescout, one, protector, success friend,’ authored by government official Ram Ekbal Das, is facing severe criticism for its objectionable content targeting women. The writer has come under fire for asking offensive questions that have been widely condemned by the public.
In response to the controversy, Ram Ekbal Das claimed that the offensive question was a mere typing mistake. He took to social media to clarify, stating that the intended focus of the book was on forest and wildlife, particularly the nature of wild bears. He requested readers to correct the error and expressed regret that someone had to bear the brunt of his mistake. He vehemently denied any intention of insulting girls or women, vowing to rectify any such typographical errors in the future. However, despite his explanation, many individuals responded by alleging that the question and answer options were deliberately designed with a hidden intention.
The public’s reaction has been overwhelming, with respondents arguing that such offensive content should never be dismissed as a mere typo and demanding greater accountability and sensitivity from authors and publishers. The incident has brought to light the importance of maintaining respectful and inclusive content in educational materials, particularly when preparing students for public service examinations.
