"A donkey is like a housewife ... In fact, the donkey is a shade better, for while the housewife may sometimes complain and walk off to her parents' home, you'll never catch the donkey being disloyal to his master"
This is an excerpt from one textbook in India.
A textbook used at schools in Rajasthan (India) compares housewives to donkeys, and suggests the animals make better companions as they complain less and are more loyal to their "masters," reports one newspaper.
The book was approved by the state's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government but has sparked protests from the party's women's wing.
