I reproduce below the portion being taught to all students of Std VI in Maharashtra:
Evolution of Man: The earth is a planet in the solar system. The earth came into being about 4500 million years ago. At first, it was in the gaseous state. Gradually, over a period, it solidified and land formed. Water bodies developed on land. Algae-like plants developed in water. At about this time, unicellular micro-organisms were formed. Animals on earth evolved in stages from these unicellular micro-organisms. The process of development of the living world from unicellular living beings to manis known as evolution. This evolution has taken place over millions of years.
Today's man evolved in stages from ape,a monkey closely resembling man. The two main stages in this evolution are H_omo Erectus and H_omo Sapiens. The word H_omo indicates man and Er_ectus indicates with upright spine. H_omo sap_iens means the wise man. At this stage, he began to make fire and devise stone implements.

PROOF FOR GOD: Dear JGN, don't you feel that the Whole World is running in a Programmatic Fashion with great sense of Harmony... Sun Rising in the East and setting on the West.... Waves of the Ocean in Harmony .... Gravity applied for all the Beings ... The Complexity of Human Body .... The details of the Food Chain ...... My Question is which Artist set all these things in the right order... Why your Heart is beating in Rhythm for all the 70 Years of Life... There is a SUPREME POWER that controls this PROGRAM of this World and all Heavenly Bodies .... Many Saints tried to sing the Praises of this Almighty Power... Religion is the way to understand that Supreme Power... To understand the Greatness of GOD research all the Creations to understand the Creator... Hope I have given a Jist of the Experience....

Dear Gladiator, If you have so much respect for the GOD, then why you are destroying God's supreme creation, i.e. human beings since last 1400 years? The problem with your religion is that it promises you a future life in heaven by making the present life a hell. My friend, the life which you got on this beautiful earth is by itself the most precious gift for you from the God. Don't insult him anymore by killing the people on his name.

Why don't you all Muslims take a piece of land on this planet or some other planet and build huge walls surrounding you? Isolate rest of the world and leave freely.
No religion/culture/country/individual will interfere in your matters and you all can live happily everafter.
