HT explainer: All about the NCERT textbook row, Supreme Court ban
The Supreme Court of India has ordered a ban on the National Council of Educational Research and Training's (NCERT) Class 8 Social Science textbook due to a controversial chapter discussing 'judicial corruption'. This chapter was criticized for its alleged bias and misrepresentation of judicial processes. The court's decision comes amid broader discussions about the content of educational materials and the implications for academic integrity. Additionally, the Supreme Court has issued contempt notices to the NCERT, emphasizing the importance of maintaining educational standards free from political or ideological influence. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding curriculum content and the role of state institutions in shaping educational narratives. As debates continue over academic freedom and the accuracy of educational resources, the Supreme Court's ruling brings to light the complex relationship between education, law, and governance in India.
