Freedom movement chief Hemu Kalani‘s name has been blanketed inside the textbook.
While the names of Mahatma Gandhi, Veer Savarkar, Bhagat Singh, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Subhas Chandra Bose are among the ones figured within the textbook, there may be no point out of Nehru both in the chapter Freedom Movement or in India After Independence.
The revision of numerous textbooks has been finished below curriculum restructuring using the Udaipur-based state Institute of Education Studies and Education (SIERT).
