NCERT chapter on Emergency: History lesson or political message? Democratic Newsroom debates

The big talking point of this episode of Democratic Newsroom is the NCERT's decision to introduce a section on the Emergency years in Class 9 social science textbook, which has sparked a political debate.  The BJP has backed the NCERT's decision to introduce a section on the Emergency years in a Class 9 textbook, saying the "dark chapter" in India's constitutional history must be remembered to ensure it is never repeated. However, Opposition raised concerns over the Emergency chapter. So, the question we are raising on the show is, is the NCERT chapter on Emergency about a history lesson or a political message? Watch as India Today's editors share their perspective on this and more on the show.
