## Resource

A controversial textbook edit sparked outrage when NCERT shaded over the iconic “Dancing Girl” statue from the Indus Valley, sparking debates over historical representation and censorship. Historians and educators slammed the move as erasing a symbol of confidence and poise, arguing it sent the wrong message to students. NCERT quickly reversed course, restoring the original unedited image in digital versions and upcoming print editions after consulting experts. The episode reignites the conversation on how we teach and interpret ancient artifacts in modern classrooms. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
