Following the controversy over an e-mail asking its alumni to change the name of Varanasi’s Gyanvapi Masjid to Gyanvapi Temple on Google Maps, a private school in Bengaluru said it was sent without proper screening procedures.
The email that was sent to alumni a couple of days ago purportedly gave detailed instructions on how to change the location, which had drawn sharp criticism from a section of alumni and social media users.
“You are requested to do it and ask our Hindu brothers and sisters to do it till Google update (s) this (these) changes,” the purported email said.
New Horizon Public School, which claims to have a history of over 50 years said in a statement, it embraces diversity and fosters a safe and inclusive environment for students.
