The West Bengal government has introduced significant modifications to the school syllabus, reflecting a shift in the historical narratives presented to students. The updated curriculum will now include a dedicated chapter on Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of the Jan Sangh party and a prominent political figure in Indian history.
Concurrently, the authorities have decided to remove the existing chapter that discussed the Singur land acquisition controversy. This section had previously covered the political and social ramifications of the land dispute in the state.
