NCERT releases a revised Class 8 Social Science textbook after a Supreme Court directive. Multiple reports say the update removes a controversial chapter on the judiciary, reshaping how students learn about the subject and its constitutional structure. The revised edition also changes parts of the history content, including the narrative around the 1947 Partition. Sources agree that references to Hitler and Nazi ideology are removed from the text. In the Partition-related history, the revised book reportedly tweaks Congress’s stated position on Partition, reflecting changes to how the party’s stance is presented. Several outlets also report that the history chapter is expanded to include Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s demand for “Swaraj,” which is newly incorporated into the revised material. Overall, the reported changes combine content edits across both history and civics/judiciary elements, aligning the publication with the court-ordered revisions while updating specific historical references and framing.
