NCERT Modules on Partition Horrors Day
25 August 2025 | The Indian History Congress
The Indian History Congress strongly protests the falsehoods, with a clear communal intent, being spread among middle and secondary level school children by bringing out a Special Module on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day by the NCERT and Ministry of Education, Government of India.
Turning history completely upside down, the modules hold not only the Muslim League but also the Indian National Congress responsible for the Partition of the country. Quite in tune with the loyalist stance of the communal forces during the freedom struggle, the British colonial rulers are given a clean chit in these modules. “The British government tried their best to preserve India as one until the end” . The 1942 Cripps Mission and the 1946 Cabinet Mission Plan, which actually had the idea of Pakistan embedded in them, are wrongly cited as proof of the British trying to leave a united India and the Congress is blamed for not accepting them and in the latter case pushing Jinnah towards ‘direct action’ and the Calcutta killings in August 1946! The “Culprits of partition” are three “Jinnah who demanded it, second the Congress, which accepted it” and it was only “formalized and implemented” by Mountbatten, “he was not the cause of it”…
