Bengaluru school that told alumni to change Gyanvapi Mosque to temple on G-Maps backtracks

In a separate incident, a private school in Bangalore came under flak after it allegedly sent a controversial email to its alumni urging them to change to name of 'Gyanvapi Mosque' to 'Gyanvapi Temple' on Google Maps. In the purported email, screenshots of which have been shared by the alumni on social media, New Horizon Public School (NHPS) issued step-by-step directions to revise the name of the site until Google officially updates the changes. The communication was reportedly sent by NHPS on Friday, May 20.

The Bengaluru-based school has issued a clarification on the controversy and has stated that the email was sent "without proper screening procedures". The school has maintained that it was an institution that "embraces diversity and fosters a safe and inclusive environment" for all students. "The issue is being handled at the highest priority", NHPS stated.
