I'm not laughing much. Bollywood movie "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" was based on a true track athlete legend Milkha singh, starring Farhan Akhtar, in 2013. Recently, a school text, believe it or not, used the picture of the actor instead of the athlete's. The goof-up was first pointed out by a Tweeter user 'Lyfe Ghosh'. Thankfully, the actor himself eloquently sought the attention of the educational Minister via Twitter itself.

For those who don't know, Milkha Singh, nicknamed The Flying Sikh, took to the track in 1958 Commonwealth Games, to become the first Indian gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games.

Looks like somebody in the educational department is a product of our cut-and-paste culture. This was from the state of West Bengal. But there are several other states that I know are not immune from similar or worse off cases.

This was an error in picture, not punctuation... Oh, god, for the love of Mother Teresa, her adopted homeland has to stop being lazy like this.
