Latest NCERT of Class 8 is public. It covers medieval history.

If you observe closely, there is Shivaji's gold muhr coin on the front page. On top of it, there is also a whole picture of Maratha Navy. Hint of what to expect in this book...

Remember, British conquered India mostly from Marathas. British also conquered Delhi from Marathas (1803). Mughals were nowhere to be seen in this fight.

And there was a time when Maratha history was given its due importance. British historians did it. Nationalist historians also did it. But in the last two-three generations, for some unknown reason, it came down. Now, after long, it is getting its due space again.

The book contains a full chapter on history of Marathas. First time for NCERT...! It talks about Shivaji's navy, his legendary exploits, global trade, social reforms, and overall cultural contribution of Marathas to India.

Brace for some more changes. Some good, some not so good.

Let the controversy begin...!

Provocative headline...

Mention of Razia and Nur Jahan, although significant, is not the touchstone of women's role in History.

All latest NCERTs actually provide much well rounded appreciation of women's role in History. In various capacities, from various social background and from various regions. It is also gender inclusive...

TheHindu, your people should actually read each of latest 6/7/8 standard social science books.
