The Indian government is preparing to revise the 8th-grade social science textbook published by the NCERT, addressing controversies related to the chapter on the judiciary. Concerns were raised that the material presented in the textbook was not balanced, focusing excessively on judiciary criticism without considering perspectives from the legislature and executive branches. Government sources indicated that it is inappropriate to comment solely on the judiciary without a broader context that includes other governmental institutions.

In addition to the content issues, the attribution of quotes from Justice Gavai has been criticized for potentially sending a misleading message. This has caused discontent among several high-ranking judicial figures, including the Chief Justice, who may prompt the Supreme Court to take notice and hear the case given the implications for educational content and public perception of the judiciary.

The Supreme Court had previously expressed dissatisfaction regarding the chapter on 'Corruption in the Judiciary' in the NCERT books, highlighting the responsibility of educational materials to provide a fair and balanced view of government institutions. These developments point to a significant intersection of education, law, and governance in India, necessitating a recalibration of the narratives presented to students about their civic institutions.
