He was a freedom fighter and India's first Minister, but any mention of Abul Kalam Azad has been deleted from a revised political science textbook published by the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT). The authors of the revised Class 11

textbook have also deleted the fact

that had acceded to India on

the basis of a promise that the State would remain

autonomous.

These are the latest in a spate of controversial deletions from new NCERT as part of the process of rationalising the syllabus. More glaring is the fact that NCERT failed to declare either of these revisions in the public domain.

Azad's reference appeared in the old Class 11 NCERT political science textbook, at Work in the first chapter, which is titled "Constitution - Why and How?" Last year, when the NCERT published a list of deletions in a list of rationalised content, it had declared that 'no changes' had been made in this particular textbook.

In the older version of the textbook, a paragraph in the first chapter read, "The Constituent Assembly had eight major Committees on different subjects. Usually, Nehru, Rajendra Prasad, , Maulana Azad or Ambedkar chaired these Committees. These were not men who agreed with each other on many things. Ambedkar had been a bitter critic of the and , accusing them of not doing enough for the upliftment of Scheduled Castes. and disagreed on many issues. Nevertheless, they all worked together."

On mapping the changes between the old and the revised version of the textbook, The Hindu found that Azad's name had been dropped from the new version, with the relevant sentence now saying, "Usually, Jawaharlal Nehru, Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Patel or B.R. chaired these Committees."

50-year-old man Mohammad Saleem consumed poison along with his two children after administration officials arbitrarily informed him that his house would be razed in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur district. Saleem and his daughter died. However, his son survived.

On Friday, after consuming the poison, Saleem, a resident of Shadi Ki Madaiyan village in Rampur district, and his children were rushed to a hospital. However, Saleem and his daughter died on Saturday morning.

Saleem's two children are aged eight and six.

The tragic deaths come after revenue officials had visited Saleem's house and told him that his house would be razed as it was built on government land.

He was working at a local tyre repair shop. According to the locals, Saeed purchased land for Rs 1,90,000 in 2016 and constructed the house.

The land that he purchased was earlier used to be part of a dried-up pond, according to Times of India.Mehtab Jahan, the wife of Saleem, said to Times of India that several officials visited their village and informed her husband that their house would be demolished soon due to a court order. She mentioned that they had previously received a notice from the tehsildar court demanding them to pay Rs 64 lakh.

Saleem's relative said to the newspaper that the revenue officials took the Saleem's thumb impression on some documents on Thursday though the officials are denying it.

The relative said: "Administration officials did visit the village on Thursday and spoke to Saleem. As he is illiterate, they took his thumb impression on some documents, nothing of which he understood."

"I have lost my daughter and husband. I want justice from the government," Mehtab Jahan said.

पूरे बिहार में अल्पसंख्यकों और दलितों को खुलेआम निशाना बनाया जा रहा है। बिहार शरीफ, सासाराम, रोहतास, लखीसराय के साथ बिहार के कई जगहों पर इतनी बड़ी-बड़ी घटना होने के बाद भी तेजस्वी यादव और नीतीश कुमार ने चुप्पी साध ली है। बिहारशरीफ में 100 के क़रीब दुकानें जला दी गई। क्या इन लोगों के लिए कोई कानून है नही है। बिहार सरकार इसके खिलाफ जल्द से जल्द कारवाई करे और उन सभी दुकानदारों को मुआवज़ा दें। घायलों के इलाज की बेहतर व्यवस्था करें और यह भरोसा दिलाएं की वे सुरक्षित हैं।
