In this episode we take a deep dive into what specific parts of #NCERT textbooks were removed, what these changes mean, and why they matter. Some changes to the reality of why Godse killed Gandhi have been removed which makes us wonder what children will learn at school. We also saw Arnab Goswami cheer as we found that the NCERT has made key changes to political science and history textbooks when it comes to Mughals and Islamic rulers - a story broken by the Indian Express. Certain chapters and parts related to #mughalempire were removed from these books, which led Arnab to ask why anybody would even want to know about them?
We also take a look at what the official and unofficial spokespersons of the governing party have said about the Mughals in the past. While Arnab was finding innovative ways to take a dig at the 'Innndian' Express, the internet was flooded with memes and cartoons.
