Note: The chapter ‘The Story of Indian Democracy’ of the pre-rationalised NCERT, which NTA followed in 2023, has been renamed ‘The Constitution and Social Change’ in the NCERT book (2025-26). Its account of the constitution drafted by Motilal Nehru and eight other Congress leaders in 1928 and of the resolution moved in the Constituent Assembly in 1946 declaring that India shall be a Republic was there in the pre-rationalised NCERT and has been deleted from the NCERT book (2025-26). The Karachi Session of 1931 is still there in the chapter ‘Patterns of Social Inequality and Exclusion’, and the 73rd and 74th amendments in the renamed chapter.
NCERT (2025-26): “3.1 The Panchayati Raj and the Challenges of Rural Social Transformation … The 73rd and 74th amendments to the Constitution ensured the reservation of one third of the total seats for women in all elected offices of local bodies in both the rural and urban areas. Out of this, 17 per cent seats are reserved for women belonging to the scheduled castes and tribes.…” “5.3 Struggle for women’s equality and rights … In 1931, the Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress issued a declaration on the Fundamental Rights of Citizenship in India whereby it committed itself to women’s equality.…” NCERT (Pre-rationalised): “3.1 The Indian Constitution … As far back as in 1928, Motilal Nehru and eight other Congress leaders drafted a constitution for India. In 1931, the resolution at the Karachi session of the Indian National Congress dwelt on how independent India’s constitution should look like.… …In July 1946, the elections were held. In August 1946, The Indian National Congress’ Expert Committee moved a resolution in the Constituent Assembly. This contained the declaration that India shall be a Republic where the declared social, economic and political justice will be guaranteed to all the people of India.” |
