Parents livid after learning ‘B is for bomb’ in nursery school

There are many ways to illustrate the letter B for nursery school kids; for instance, a picture of a baby or a ball comes to mind.

They're also demanding to know why "chaku," the Hindi word for knife was chosen to represent the letter Ch. Rav Authar Dixit, president of a parent-student association in Uttar Pradesh state, said the national education board has launched an investigation as to how this language alphabet textbook could have been cleared for private nursery schools.
