*NCERT director Dinesh Prasad Saklani defended recent revisions to school textbooks, denying accusations of saffronisation. He stated that references to sensitive historical events like the Gujarat riots and Babri Masjid demolition were removed to prevent negative impacts on students. Saklani emphasized the goal of fostering positive citizenship through education, arguing that contentious topics like riots should be addressed when students are older. The revisions, part of routine updates, also reflect recent developments and legal judgments.
