A group of historians has raised concerns over the NCERT's move to delete certain topics from history books for CBSE students. In a statement on Friday, they said they were "appalled" by the NCERT's decision to delete the topics, particularly for Class 12, and called the move "a matter of deep concern".

The signatories of the statement include Romila Thapar, Jayati Gosh, Mridula Mukherjee, Apoorvanada, Irfan Habib and Upinder Singh, among others.

"Using the period of the pandemic-cum-lockdowns to argue that there was a need to lighten the load of the curriculum, the NCERT initiated a contentious process of dropping topics like the history of the Mughal courts, the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat, the Emergency... from social science, history and political science textbooks of classes 6 to 12," the historians said in the statement.
