Chapters about the Mughal empire would no longer be a part of the history syllabi for Class 12 students of CBSE and UP boards. NCERT, the top advisory body for Centre and state on school education, has revised the history curriculum and dropped the Chapters on 'Kings and Chronicles' and the 'The Mughal Courts' from the CBSE medieval History textbooks for Class 12, a top official told NDTV.
The Uttar Pradesh government schools will adopt the NCERT's new class 12 history textbooks in which portions about Mughal courts have been removed.
"We teach our students using NCERT books...whatever is there in the revised edition will be followed," Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said.
Additional Chief Secretary (basic and secondary education) Deepak Kumar confirmed the development. "We follow NCERT books and whatever is available in the revised edition, we will follow it in state schools from 2023-24 session," Mr Kumar told PTI.
