Note 1: The section ‘Swatantra Party’ of the chapter ‘Era of One-party Dominance’, with the profile of C. Rajagopalachari, was there in the pre-rationalised NCERT; this portion has been deleted from subsequent editions of NCERT, including the NCERT book (2026-27), though the chapter is still there.
