J&K orders screening of books with ‘anti-national’ content, opposition slams move

In Jammu and Kashmir, authorities are now scrutinizing textbooks for content deemed objectionable, especially focusing on those that label Kashmir as an occupied territory. This move has sparked criticism from opposition leaders who argue it's a tactic to suppress historical narratives and control information. Schools are required to report on their compliance by July 19th. This decision has raised concerns about academic freedom and the potential censorship of historical facts, with a legal group even calling for an investigation into these controversial texts. It's a significant development that could impact how history is taught and perceived in the region.
