And this compilation of various happenings in the past is nothing less than painstaking efforts by experts over decades. But post Independence, the history chapters reflected in the Indian textbooks focused more on the Indian perspective over the Colonial. Currently, as per news regarding NCERT, it is observed that many cuts were made in the textbooks, thus sending shock waves amongst academics and educationalists. There is no mention of Moghuls, Maulana Azad and more, this has lead to protests. Why do these changes matter? To know more tune into this episode of The Wire Talks.
