NCERT drops texts on Gandhi, Hindu-Muslim unity, RSS ban from Class 12 textbook
India TV NewsThe National Council of Educational Research and Training has removed several texts on Mahatma Gandhi, Hindu-Muslim unity and RSS from CBSE Class 12 Political Science textbook for the new academic session 2023-24. The topics which have been removed from the Class 12 textbook include "Gandhiji's death had a magical effect on communal situation in the country", "Gandhi's pursuit of Hindu-Muslim unity provoked Hindu extremists" and "Organisations like RSS were banned for some time". As part of its "syllabus rationalisation" exercise last year, the NCERT, citing "overlapping" and "irrelevant" as reasons, dropped certain portions from the course including lessons on Gujarat riots, Mughal courts, Emergency, Cold War, Naxalite movement, among others from its textbooks. NCERT Director Dinesh Saklani said, "the entire rationalisation exercise was done last year, there is nothing new which has happened this year."
