During the 2024–2025 academic year, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) made significant revisions to the Social Science textbooks. These included references to Manipur, a rewording of a phrase characterizing the Left as favoring "state regulation over free competition," a shift from "Azad Pakistan" to "Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK)," and modifications to other terminology.

This month, textbooks containing the updated and revised material that the National Councilof Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has reviewed and approved will be released. The books will be used by over 40 million kids in the US.

While most states have equal authority, as stated in paragraph one, some, including Jammu and Kashmir and the states in the Far East, have unique rules. The amended version includes a line at the conclusion and says that Article 370, which has specific provisions for Jammu and Kashmir, was repealed in August 2019.

Additionally, the Council has substituted "Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK)" for "Azad Pakistan" in the same chapter when discussing the boundary dispute between Pakistan and India. "India asserts that this region is being occupied illegally." This is based on the most recent edition. In all of Pakistan, this region is referred to as "Azad Pakistan".

The new text, however, states that the territory in question is actually Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK), an area of India that Pakistan is currently occupying illegally.

According to the Council, the new policy is in line with the Indian government's most recent position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

Manipur is now mentioned in the first chapter of the same book, courtesy of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). According to the widely accepted account, the Indian government coerced the Maharaja into signing a merger agreement in September 1949. There was no consultation whatsoever with the Manipur Legislative Assembly, which is democratically elected. This infuriated and bitterened a lot of individuals.
