After Nationwide Council of Instructional Analysis and Coaching (NCERT) introduced its resolution to erase sure chapters on the Mughal Empire from the category 12 historical past textbooks , BJP chief Kapil Mishra lauded the transfer. Alleging that ‘thieves’ had been being known as the Mughal rulers, he mentioned that the initiative will shine mild on the ‘fact’.
Retweeting a video on the revised textbooks, he wrote, “It’s a nice resolution to take away false historical past of Mughals from NCERT. Thieves, pickpockets and two-penny highway raiders had been referred to as the Mughal Sultanate and the emperor of India. Akbar, Babar, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb are usually not within the historical past books, they’re within the dustbin.”

The edited textbooks shall be a part of the state board and the Central Board of Secondary Training (CBSE) college syllabus in Uttar Pradesh from the present tutorial 12 months, in accordance with a PTI report quoting Extra Chief Secretary (fundamental and secondary training) Deepak Kumar.
