NCERT has revised its Class 8 social science textbook with several significant changes. The Partition chapter now presents a debated acceptance of the division, and VD Savarkar's Swaraj demand is included. References to Adolf Hitler and Nazi ideology have been removed from a freedom struggle chapter. The judiciary chapter was rewritten after Supreme Court intervention and now includes new legal content.

The second volume of the textbook had triggered controversy over a section titled “Corruption in the judiciary”, prompting the SC to take suo motu cognisance.
