Next day the NCERT conference room was again filled with scholars the next morning.
The debate from the previous day had left the room divided, but Dr. Shyam Sundar was determined to push forward.
Today, the agenda was more focused: the revision of the history curriculum, a topic that had already proven to be the most contentious.
Dr. Sundar stood at the head of the table, his face calm but his tone firm. "Good morning, everyone. Yesterday's meeting was heated, to say the least. I hope we can channel that energy into a constructive discussion today. The Prime Minister has made it clear that he wants the new curriculum to reflect the full spectrum of India's history, highlighting our achievements alongside the difficult truths. Let's get started."
