Will you please provide the information regarding the Changes In NCERT Syllabus?

NCERT syllabus change is inevitable. There is no conclusion is made regarding the Changes In NCERT Syllabus.

Here I am providing the information regarding the views of prominent persons

Taking utmost precaution not to criticise the earlier textbooks by eminent historians like Romila Thapar, R S Sharma, Satish Chandra and others, the speakers did make their point: the time has come for earlier books to Rest in Peace.

As historian Shahid Amin of Delhi University said, the syllabus should not be seen as an ideological war between "rootless cosmopolitans" and "foundationalists" but something which has foundation but also straddles various views.

Justifying the history syllabus, JNU historian Neeladri Bhattacharya said that the books by Thapar and Sharma, written in the 1960s-70s, did shift the terrain of historical writing from earlier times, which praised the colonial period as the era of development.

He said, gender, cultural and environmental histories have come up in a big way in the past four decades, which could not be ignored.

If history has moved, would it be justifiable to go back to the books of the '60s and '70s. We wanted to be sensitive to new trends," he said.

There has been remarkable progress in locating histories of marginal people unlike the earlier times when the emphasis was only on the centre and not the periphery.

Bhattacharya said the emphasis would not be in details. Facts do not make history alone but it is the understanding, he said.
students at an early age would be introduced to sources — written and oral — so that it fires their imagination. Stress would also be on projects.
