The Gujjar community today staged a protest march here in the town, demanding withdrawal of book titled as ‘Himachal Pradesh History, Culture and Economy” written by Mian Govardhan Singh and C L Gupta from government institutions.
The people of Gujjar community alleged that these both authors have used derogatory remarks against the women of their community in this book and tried their character assassination. The book was published in 1985 and later its updated sixth edition was released in 2016.
“We urge Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur to withdraw this book from the government institutions, which is available in all district and college libraries across the state,” he added. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now
in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is
run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
