Panjab University Reverses Changes to Postgraduate Punjab History Syllabus
Panjab University reversed its decision to revise the postgraduate Sikh history syllabus after objections from student groups and political leaders. The changes, initially aimed at reducing repetition and increasing flexibility, included making several Punjab history papers optional. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), represented by Daljit Singh Cheema, opposed the removal of four key papers covering Punjab's history from the 15th to 20th centuries, emphasizing their cultural importance. University officials assured that the original syllabus would be restored soon.
