Amid outrage over gender stereotyping, the CBSE on Monday decided to drop questions based on comprehension passage in the class 10 English exam. The board issued a circular and informed it will award full marks to students. This is to be noted that the question paper had carried a comprehension passage with sentences like "emancipation of women destroyed the parent's authority over the children."
