The Supreme Court of India has come under scrutiny for blacklisting three educators—Michel Danino (author and scholar), Suparna Divakar (educationist), and Alok Prasanna Kumar (legal researcher)—involved in creating a controversial chapter on 'Corruption in Judiciary' for a Class 8 National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) Social Science textbook. The court expressed concern over the chapter's biased portrayal of the judiciary, stating it could negatively influence impressionable students. Consequently, the court directed the Government of India and associated institutions to disassociate the three educators from any responsibilities involving public funds. The educators, represented by senior advocates, have requested a hearing to provide context and defend their work, asserting their credibility in the academic field. The Supreme Court has also initiated contempt proceedings against the authors of the chapter and has ordered a ban on the textbook, despite the Centre's withdrawal of over 82,000 copies from circulation. An expert committee has been established to revise the NCERT curriculum for Legal Studies, indicating ongoing efforts to address the concerns raised.
