The NCERT faced criticism for alleged 'saffronisation' in textbook revisions, particularly in the Class 12 Political Science book. Director Saklani defended the changes, emphasizing objectivity in history and the importance of interpretation and expert recommendations. Revisions focused on the legal dispute over the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, omitting references to Hindutva and the Babri Masjid demolition. Former advisors Palshikar and Yadav criticized the revisions for distorting historical facts and threatening legal action against NCERT.
