Academics involved in the past in preparing NCERT syllabuses and textbooks on Friday criticised the national textbook body’s recent deletions from the school curricula as selective and anti-academic, suggesting some of it was driven by “political considerations”.
Anita Rampal, Apoorvanand, Neeladri Bhattacharya and Satish Deshpande said the deletions lacked academic merit and might deprive students of perspective on a range of subjects and concepts, from the socially marginalised to the Mughals, from democratic rights to equality.
