The Indian History Congress (IHC) criticised NCERT's new modules on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. They said the modules wrongly blame both the Muslim League and the Indian National Congress for Partition. The IHC said the British colonial rulers were wrongly given a clean chit. The modules claim Jinnah demanded Partition, Congress accepted it, and Mountbatten formalised it. The IHC said Partition was due to British divide-and-rule policies since the 19th century. The modules mention only Hindu and Sikh victims, ignoring Muslim suffering. The modules were released in August 2025 for Classes 6 to 12. The IHC warned that such history could polarise young students. How to understand Partition history is important for balanced learning. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 04:16 IST; source: link)
