The NCERT recently released the Grade 9 Social Science textbook, 'Understanding Society: India and Beyond Part 2,' which includes additions and removals in its syllabus. Critics highlight the removal of Western revolutions like Nazism and the French Revolution. Another major concern is the lack of local history, such as Champaner's architecture and Sayajirao Gaekwad's educational reforms, raising questions about the depth and focus of history education.
