Supreme Court Bans NCERT Class 8 Textbook Over Judiciary Corruption Chapter

The Supreme Court of India has imposed a complete ban on the NCERT Class 8 Social Science textbook containing a chapter on 'corruption in the judiciary,' describing it as a calculated move to undermine the judiciary's dignity. NCERT has apologized for the unintentional inclusion of inappropriate content, halted distribution, and is rewriting the chapter. The government, including Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressed regret and promised accountability. The court ordered seizure of all copies, digital takedown, and issued show-cause notices to NCERT officials and education department authorities, emphasizing a deeper probe and strict compliance.
