NCERT Erases JK’s Accession Paragraph

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The NCERT’s class 11 political science textbook has been revised by its authors who have removed a paragraph discussing the conditional accession of Jammu and Kashmir to the Union of India in 1947.
The previous version of the textbook mentioned that Jammu and Kashmir’s accession was based on a promise to protect its autonomy under Article 370 of the Constitution. However, the revised version of the textbook’s 10th chapter titled “The Philosophy of the Constitution” does not include any reference to Jammu and Kashmir’s conditional accession. The authors of the textbook have also removed a reference to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad from the first chapter.
It is important to note that Article 370 was abolished by the Indian government on August 5, 2019, and the state of Jammu and Kashmir was divided into two Union Territories, Jammu and Kashmir with a legislature, and Ladakh.
The older edition of the textbook stated that the Constituent Assembly had eight major Committees on different subjects, which were typically chaired by Jawaharlal Nehru, Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Patel, Moulana Azad, or Ambedkar.
Despite their differing opinions on various issues, they collaborated effectively. Ambedkar was critical of Congress and Gandhi, accusing them of neglecting the Scheduled Castes, while Patel and Nehru had their disagreements. However, the new version of the textbook only mentions that the Committees were usually chaired by Nehru, Prasad, Patel, or Ambedkar.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a prominent member of the Indian National Congress, was twice elected as Congress President in 1923 and 1940. He served as independent India’s first Education Minister. In 1992, Azad was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.
