The focus of the discussion is the controversial revision of the NCERT’s Class 8 social sciences textbook, which now includes detailed accounts of the darker aspects of the Mughal and Delhi Sultanate eras. The new text describes rulers like Babur as a ‘brutal and ruthless conqueror’ and details Akbar’s massacre of 30,000 civilians at Chittorgarh. It also includes Akbar’s victory message, highlighting the destruction of temples and the erasure of signs of infidelity. The changes have sparked a political row, with the opposition alleging it is a bid to inject communalism into education, while proponents argue it presents historical facts that were previously suppressed. The debate centers on whether the previous curricula presented a whitewashed version of history and if the new syllabus corrects this by including Mughal-era atrocities and the resistance from indigenous groups. Critics argue that these changes are driven by a political ideology to sow communal division by vilifying a community’s ancestors. NCERT has included a note stating that no one today should be held responsible for past events and aims to provide a comprehensive and critical understanding of the past based on academic sources, while avoiding overloading students. #ncert #history #mughals #itwebvideos #indiafirst #akbar #aurangzeb #babur #textbookcontroversy #indianhistory #education #politics #bjp #congress #historydebate #indiatoday #textbookrow #sikhhistory #resistance #marathas #ahoms #guruteghbahadur #rewritinghistory
