Parliamentary Panel Suggests Removal Of "Unhistorical" Chapters From Books

Acknowledging the complaints from various members, a parliamentary panel has called the Education Ministry to deliberate over certain reforms in the school books. The reforms, which are long-standing demands of the BJP and RSS members, aim to remove "unhistorical facts" and "distortions" from the books and also curtail overemphasis over medieval history. The proposed meeting on January 13 will zoom in on inclusion of "proportionate references to all periods of Indian history".
