Seriously, this is height of Political Correctness. So kids shouldnt even learn the name of the creatures that are considered unclean by some religious groups? Wonder if its a Zionist Conspiracy or Saudi Wahabi conspiracy or #ModiSarkars minority appeasement strategy or some threat from goons of Anjem Choudhary in the UK or Owaisi Brothers in India? (Pigs are considered unclean both by Jews as well as Muslims) Wonder what now happens to the pig BABE (1995 movie) as well as the iconic Porky Pig, animated cartoon character of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes? P.S. In 2008, Oxford University Press India unceremoniously decided to stop publication of the only two books containing A K Ramanujans essay, Three Hundred Ramayanas: Five Examples and Three Thoughts on Translation. These were Paula Richmans Many Ramayanas and Vinay Dharwadkers The Collected Essays of A K Ramanujan. The move happened to coincide with legal proceedings instituted against OUP India by religious and cultural groups. timesofindia.indiatimes/india/Keep-pigs-pork-out-of-textbooks-Oxford-University-Press-tells-writers/articleshow/45892269.cms
