**NEW DELHI** – A controversy has erupted over the new Class 7 social science textbook published in accordance with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum. The textbook, intended for students following the NCERT guidelines, notably omits any mention of the Mughal Empire and the Delhi Sultanate. The exclusion of these significant periods in Indian history has raised concerns among educators and historians, who argue the omission creates a significant gap in students’ understanding of India’s past. The NCERT has yet to issue an official statement addressing the concerns surrounding the textbook’s content. The development comes amidst ongoing debates about the representation of history in India’s school curriculum.
