Three educationists rapped by Supreme Court over NCERT chapter seek hearing
The Hindu·3h ago·Neutral
What Happened
The Supreme Court agreed to hear three educationists—Michel Danino, Suparna Divakar, and Alok Prasanna Kumar—who were blacklisted for writing a controversial chapter on 'Corruption in Judiciary' in an NCERT Class 8 textbook. The court had previously directed their disassociation from curriculum work without hearing them. Their lawyers argued they are established academics whose work reflected collective decisions and national education policy standards. The government formed an expert committee to revise the Legal Studies curriculum.
