NCERT releases a revised Class 8 Social Science textbook that updates parts of its history and civics content. Multiple outlets report that the changes include removing references to Hitler and Nazi-related ideology from the earlier edition. The revision also adjusts the narrative around India’s Partition in 1947. According to reporting from Times of India and Business Standard, the text updates how the Congress’ stance on Partition is described, though the detailed wording is not provided in the summaries. Another change highlighted across sources is the inclusion of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s demand for “Swaraj” within the history portion. Times of India additionally states that the revision follows a Supreme Court directive and notes broader edits beyond the Partition chapter, including changes related to a judiciary-focused chapter and the description of the judiciary’s constitutional role and structure. Overall, the revised textbook edition reflects edits to historical references and framing while keeping the Class 8 Social Science curriculum aligned with the directive that prompted the update.
