As per reports, the school includes a textbook for Class 7 that explores the history and cultural contributions of the Sindhi community. One chapter titled “Life after Partition: Migration, Community and Unrest in Sindh, 1947 to 1962” aims to educate students about the experiences of Sindhis as a linguistic minority. The chapter reportedly highlights prominent figures from the Sindhi community, including actor Ranveer Singh, as examples of successful individuals. However, parents have expressed concerns specifically regarding the inclusion of actress Tamannaah Bhatia in the chapter's content. 'Love SRK'!

Reportedly, parents stated, "We have no objection to children being introduced to a different culture," emphasizing their complaint filed with the commission and association. Another parent added, "Our objection pertains to a chapter on an actor, which we deem unsuitable for Class 7 students."
Some parents have accused the school management of pressuring their children by threatening to withhold promotion certificates if objections were raised. D Shashi Kumar, the general secretary of the association, emphasised that any additional content must receive approval from the relevant authorities affiliated with the school. He advised parents to address their concerns directly with the school administration.
