Historical Scrutiny Of Akbar, Babur In School Books Not New
1/7 NCERT's decision to give Hindi titles like Mridang, Santoor, and Poorvi to English textbooks has sparked a nationwide language debate. The move is seen as part of NEP 2020's push for cultural integration, though no official clarification has been issued. While the NCERT claims these updates are designed to reduce curriculum load and foster culturally rooted learning, critics argue that some changes reflect ideological bias or historical distortion. 3/7 The Class 12 textbooks now emphasize indigenous continuity between Harappans and modern South Asians, challenging earlier views on distinct Vedic arrivals. It reflects ongoing archaeological discoveries at Rakhigarhi Several NCERT history and political science textbooks have undergone content revisions as part of the curriculum rationalisation process. These include the removal or condensation of sections related to events like the Gujarat riots, the Babri Masjid, and references to certain political developments, aimed at reducing textbook load and streamlining content under NEP 2020. The Class 8 Social Studies textbook Exploring Society: India and Beyond has updated its portrayal of Mughal rulers as part of recent curriculum revisions. Descriptions now refer to Babur as 'ruthless' and Akbar as 'brutal but tolerant', while Aurangzeb is presented with more nuance, moving away from earlier moral judgments. A footnote in the chapter clarifies that the objective is to understand historical developments rather than assign blame. These changes have sparked criticism from some historians, who argue that the revised language may oversimplify complex historical figures and potentially reflect a biased narrative. The NCERT's new Class 8 Science textbook, Curiosity, brings a fresh approach to learning by blending traditional Indian scientific wisdom with modern discoveries. Aimed at sparking curiosity and deeper thinking among students, the book takes readers on a journey from ancient philosophies like the concept of Parmanu to India's space missions, offering a uniquely Indian perspective on science education. 'Particulate Nature of Matter' now introduces students to Acharya Kanad, the ancient Indian philosopher who conceptualized the idea of the Parmanu (atom) centuries before modern atomic theory took shape. ISRO Missions Featured: The textbook now includes India's space milestones—Chandrayaan 1, 2 & 3, Aditya L1, and Mangalyaan—to connect students with contemporary Indian science and technology. A dedicated 'Our Scientific Heritage' section in the 'Health: The Ultimate Treasure' chapter talks about variolation, a traditional Indian technique used to protect against smallpox, showcasing pre-modern disease prevention methods.

Do cobras really have 'Nagmanis'? The truth behind the snake pearl myth
Source: Geology In Have you ever come across the term "Snake Pearl" or "Nagamani" and wondered if such a mystical object could truly exist? Rooted in centuries of folklore, especially in South Asia, Nagamani has long captivated believers and skeptics alike. Said to be a rare, glowing gem found in the heads of cobras, this legendary object is often associated with divine power, protection, and fortune. Despite its presence in myths, movies, and spiritual beliefs, scientific investigations tell a very different story. Explore the origins, alleged powers, and controversies surrounding the mythical Nagamani. What is a Nagamani or snake pearl The term Nagamani comes from Sanskrit — where "Naga" means snake and "Mani" means gem or jewel. According to traditional beliefs, this mystical pearl is said to form inside the head of venomous snakes, most commonly cobras. Legends claim it glows in the dark and bestows immense spiritual and material power to its possessor, including protection from evil, healing powers, and incredible luck. Do cobras really have Nagmanis According to Geology In, the idea that cobras possess a glowing gem called Nagamani in their heads has long fascinated believers across India and Southeast Asia. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 요즘 SNS에서 핫한 그 반지, 기부로 받을 수 있다고? 굿네이버스 더 알아보기 Undo However, modern science firmly rejects this claim. Biologically, cobras do not have the anatomical ability to form pearls—unlike mollusks. Scientific analyses of so-called "snake pearls" reveal they are often gallstones or mineral concretions, not true gemstones. These formations may occur inside snake bodies, but they lack any supernatural properties. The enduring myth of Nagamani stems more from cultural symbolism and folklore than scientific fact, illustrating humanity's deep desire to assign mystery and meaning to nature's creatures. Mythology behind Nagamani or snake pearl In Hindu mythology and regional folklore, snakes are not just reptiles — they're divine beings. Nagas are often worshipped and believed to hold secrets of the universe. The Nagamani is said to be a jewel they guard or possess. Stories often describe snake charmers or ascetics receiving the Nagamani as a reward from a mystical serpent for their devotion. It is also portrayed in temples, mythological texts, and even Bollywood films as a divine, glowing gem of untold power. Why do people believe in Nagamani Spiritual significance: In many cultures, snakes symbolize protection, wisdom, and hidden power. Media influence: Films and TV shows like Naagin have sensationalized Nagamani legends. Oral traditions: The myth is passed down through generations, especially in rural India and Southeast Asia. Symbolism: It serves as a metaphor for hidden strength and the supernatural. Snake Pearls are believed to: Glow in the dark Detect poison Change colour with mood or danger Heal physical or spiritual ailments Attract wealth or good fortune Some even claim that possession of a Nagamani can make someone immortal or allow communication with divine beings. Why modern science debunks the myth of Nagamani Modern herpetologists and gemologists agree on one thing — no biological process supports the existence of a pearl inside a snake's head. Snakes do not have the anatomy to produce pearls, unlike mollusks. Some so-called 'snake pearls' examined by scientists have turned out to be gallstones or mineral concretions (similar to kidney stones). These may form naturally around debris inside a snake's body but hold no magical properties. A few specimens presented as 'Nagamani' have been analyzed and found to consist of a mix of organic material, calcium, and protein, but none qualify as gems or pearls under scientific standards. The myth of Nagamani holds power beyond science While the physical existence of Nagamani is highly questionable, its cultural power is undeniable. It serves as a symbol of: Hidden strength or divine reward The mystique of nature and the animal world Human fascination with the unknown In this way, Nagamani behaves more like a mythical talisman than a geological object — powerful not because it exists, but because it has been believed in for centuries. Despite countless stories and portrayals, there is no scientific evidence supporting the existence of the Nagamani. It is most likely a product of folklore, symbolism, and cultural storytelling — possibly originating from rare stones found in snake carcasses and misidentified as mystical objects.
