NCERT: The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) allegedly included “misleading information” on the Anandpur Sahib resolution in the Class 12 Political Science book, according to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) on Friday. The 1973 resolution, according to SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami, was concentrated on the rights of the state and strengthened the federal system.
NCERT’s action had offended communal feelings- Harjinder Singh Dhami
The Sikh group’s assertion comes in the midst of a political uproar over the selective editing of Mughal content in NCERT textbooks. In the most recent “syllabus rationalisation” effort, references to Mahatma Gandhi’s murder and his actions following India’s independence were also eliminated from the same political science textbook. Speaking to PTI on the Anandpur Sahib resolution, Harjinder Singh Dhami stated, “The NCERT should remove such highly objectionable mentions because it is not at all justified to portray Sikhs as separatists.” He claimed that NCERT’s action had offended communal feelings.

Arbitrary curricula are being developed- Harjinder Singh Dhami
Dhami claims that Chapter 8 of the political science textbook “Politics in India Since Independence” published by NCERT now has a “communal aspect.” He claimed that the Class 12 syllabus had been updated by the board, which also eliminated some outdated information. “It is terrible that reforms are being made in a way that benefits the central government in power. Curriculums are being removed, particularly those that focus on minorities, and arbitrary curricula are being developed. The book “Politics in India Since Independence” has so misinterpreted the Anandpur Sahib resolution, according to Dhami.
