Class 8 social science textbook

NCERT has published a revised Class 8 Social Science textbook that removes controversial portions, including references to judicial backlog and two major court verdicts. The textbook's acknowledgements state it was published following a review process compliant with Supreme Court directions.

The Supreme Court accuses NCERT textbook content of depicting a 'deep-rooted conspiracy' to portray the judiciary as corrupt. CJI Surya Kant orders a ban on the Class 8 social science textbook, initiates contempt action, and issues show cause notices to the NCERT director and School Education Secretary.
