NCERT came under fire for distorting history in textbooks. It is alleged that caste and caste systems have been left out of the equation in Indian society. The name of Harappan civilization is changed to ‘Indus-Sarasvati civilization’ in textbooks. Earlier, the chapter on the Ayodhya dispute has been cut down to two pages. Besides, the name of Babri Masjid is not mentioned anywhere. Instead of Agagora Babri Masjid, ‘three-domed structure’ is written. There is a strong movement across the country to change this curriculum.
