Bharatiya Bhasha Parivar books face ethics criticism

Bharatiya Bhasha Parivar books face ethics criticism

Two books about Indian languages, published by a government panel, are in trouble.

The books don't say who wrote each chapter, and they didn't have other experts check the work before publishing.

Some people who helped write the books are upset because they aren't being given proper credit.

They also think the books should have been reviewed by experts before being published.

The panel hasn't responded to these complaints yet.

The books are about showing that all Indian languages belong to one big family.

One book lists many people who helped, but doesn't say who wrote which parts.

The other book does list authors with their chapters.

Some people think this is not fair and not how academic books should be made.
