    Ranchi: The decision to drop lessons on Mughal courts from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) books is an attempt to change the nation’s history, alleged Avinash Pandey, Congress’s general secretary in-charge for Jharkhand on Monday.

    Boards which use NCERT textbooks which include CBSE are expected to be impacted by the decision.

    Uttar Pradesh has announced that government schools will adopt the NCERT’s new class 12 history textbooks in which portions about Mughal courts have been removed from this academic session.

    As part of its “syllabus rationalisation” exercise last year, the NCERT, citing “overlapping” and “irrelevant” as reasons, dropped certain portions from the syllabus including lessons on Mughal courts from its class 12 textbooks.

    Pandey told mediapersons that party senior leader Rahul Gandhi has taken this issue seriously and Congress will oppose the move.

    Hitting out at Centre, Pandey said democracy is under threat in the country.

    He said the party will launch its Jai Bharat Satyagraha Yatra from Lohardaga tomorrow and will create awareness among masses as to how opposition voices were being shut on raising issues in Parliament.

    The Satyagraha Yatra will conclude on April 16, he said.

  • Mughals Move Out Of NCERT Textbooks

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has announced significant revisions to the 12th class History book, with the removal of chapters related to the Mughal Empire. The changes will be applicable to all NCERT-affiliated schools across the country, and are expected to impact the way students learn about Indian history. The altered syllabus will no longer include chapters on ‘Kings and Chronicles; the Mughal Courts (C. 16th and 17th centuries)’ from the ‘Themes of Indian History-Part 2’ textbook for Class 12.

    Additionally, the NCERT will also remove certain poems and paragraphs from Hindi textbooks. These changes have sparked a debate among educators and students alike, with many questioning the motives behind the revisions and their impact on the curriculum. Some argue that the move is an attempt to rewrite history, while others believe it is a necessary step to provide a more accurate representation of India’s past.

    NCERT has announced that the changes made in the History and Hindi textbooks, as well as the 12th class Civics book, will come into effect from the ongoing academic session of 2023-2024. The revised Civics book will no longer include two chapters: ‘American Hegemony in World Politics’ and ‘The Cold War Era’.

    The revisions to the NCERT textbooks have not been limited to Class 12th only. As part of the changes, two chapters, namely ‘Rise of Popular Movements’ and ‘Era of One Party Dominance’ have been removed from the Class 12th textbook ‘Indian Politics after Independence’.

    Additionally, certain chapters from Class 10th and 11th textbooks have also been removed. For instance, in Class 10th book ‘Democratic Politics-2’, chapters on ‘Democracy and Diversity’, ‘Popular Struggles and Movements’, and ‘Challenges of Democracy’ have been removed. These changes will be implemented from the current academic session, i.e. 2023-2024.

    The Class 11th textbook ‘Themes in World History’ will no longer include chapters on ‘Central Islamic Lands’, ‘Clash of Cultures’, and ‘Industrial Revolution’, as these have been removed from the curriculum. The authorities have confirmed that the revised syllabus and textbooks will be implemented in various schools from this year.
