New Delhi: Nagpur University’s (NU’s) move to introduce “Bharatiya Janata Party” (BJP) as a topic in its MA history syllabus and remove sections on the Communist Party of India, or CPI, has invited controversy.
Sections on the Jan Sangh and a chapter on the Republican Party from the previous curriculum have also been retained while those on the ‘Congress ally’ Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) have been replaced with the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) that supports the BJP. Additionally, a chapter on the Khalistan movement has been omitted, the Times of India reported.
