NCERT bookmarks Godhra, Sikh riots, and Emergency too

Very interesting topics in the political science text books of Grade 12. BTW do they have Artha Sastra in the syllabus ?

"You cannot teach Political Science to students sidestepping the major events, which had significant influence on society and polity, no matter whether controversial or not," said Professor Yogendra Yadav, a member of the panel for preparation of Political Science textbooks.

The topics would give the established facts taken from Government sources, which cannot be disputed by anybody, he said adding that the text would also refrain from going into full details of the incidents.

The chapter on Gujarat riots will deal with an overview of the incident and the largescale killing of "people of a particular community", he said.
"

- Did he mean roasting of 59 people belonging to a community in the train ? Can someone explain this statement ?

"The topic will also give a human rights view and a counterview on the incident,"

- Do Hindus have human rights in India ? Last time I checked, they didn't have one.
