💥NCERT tweaks grade 12 History book; stresses indigenous origins, no Aryan migration clarity


NCERT has added three new paragraphs on the recent DNA study at Rakhigarhi, which rejects Aryan immigration and emphasises that “Harappans are the indigenous people of this region.”

💥 The additions and deletions related to the Harappan Civilization have been justified based on “recent evidence from archaeological sites.

💥 NCERT has added three new paragraphs on the recent DNA study at Rakhigarhi, which rejects Aryan immigration and emphasises that “Harappans are the indigenous people of this region.” It also states that “the genetic roots of the Harappans go back to 10,000 BCE,” and their DNA has continued until today, with a majority of the South Asian population being their descendants.

💥 Other changes include:

– In a Class 6 History textbook, the word “Hindu” has been removed when referring to landlords.

– In a Class 7 History textbook, the term “caste backgrounds” has been replaced with “social backgrounds” when describing the Nayanars.

– In a Class 12 Sociology textbook, references to Scheduled Castes and Tribes being marked by poverty, powerlessness, and social stigma have been removed.

– A section on adivasi struggles and the impact of dams has been edited.

– An image of communal riots has been removed from a Class 12 Sociology textbook.

These changes in the history textbooks reflect the ongoing debates and evolving perspectives on ancient Indian history and the origins of the Harappan Civilisation.
