Indian politicians compared to donkeys. Why are we insulting donkeys?

What happened to reading, writing and arithmetic? A textbook in Rajasthan has come under fire after it made comparisons between donkeys and politicians. Politicians have complained and as a result the offending chapter will be deleted.

The book has been in use for more than a year. Amazingly, a comparison between donkeys and women didn't raise any objections. As someone about to get married, I particularly liked this passage which I will share with my fiance. "Donkeys, like Indian wives, can go hungry and thirsty but continue working... but whereas the wife keeps nagging the donkey does not complain. When she gets angry she starts a non-cooperation movement and threatens to go back to her parents, but the donkey never gets upset and serves its master faithfully." We look forward to our next bunch of leaders and wife-beaters to emerge from this esteemed institution of higher learning.
