Bollywood actor-filmmaker, Farhan Akhtar, expressed his rage over a bizarre experiment involving a cat mentioned in a Class IV textbook.
In a tweet, shared some five hours before writing this, Farhan said: “This. Is. Just. Unbelievable.”
His tweet also shows a snapshot of the experiment mentioned in the textbook. To explain that living things need oxygen to survive, the experiment suggests children place kittens in two wooden boxes, one with and one without holes. It goes on to say that the kitten, inside the box without the holes, would eventually die unlike the one in the other box.
Earlier, Twitter user Lola Kuttiamma also shared her disbelief at finding the experiment in the book. She later mentioned in one of her tweets that her friends had escalated the issue to Women and Child Welfare Minister Maneka Gandhi, although we can’t confirm the veracity of the tweet.
Here’s what Farhan tweeted about the textbook:
This. Is. Just. Unbelievable.
