The deleted map, figure 3.11, showed the large extent of the Maratha Empire in 1759 CE &mdash; stretching from Thanjavur to Peshawar.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Map Removed After Protests:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Along with eight other petitioners connected to well-known Maratha royal families, Bhonsle has asked the Court to immediately restore the map. According to the petition, NCERT quietly removed the map from Hindi, Urdu, and English textbooks between October 2025 and April 2026 after protests from former royal families in Rajasthan.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">&nbsp;The petition says this decision was taken without checking historical evidence and without waiting for the opinion of a required expert committee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The PIL relies on an RTI reply dated January 20, which allegedly shows that NCERT did not examine any historical records, gazetteers, or academic research before deciding to remove the map.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The petitioners say&nbsp; that this action violates&nbsp; fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution, denies students correct historical knowledge, and damages their cultural heritage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The plea also raises concerns about the functioning of NCERT&rsquo;s High-Powered Committee after historian Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale died in September 2025. According to the petition, the committee continued to function even though it had fewer members than required.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Historical Evidence Filed:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">To support their claims, the petitioners submitted a detailed 239-page &ldquo;Maratha Research Compendium.&rdquo; The document is based on original historical materials, including Peshwa Daftar records, British colonial documents, and the 1752 Mughal Ahadnama treaty. The petitioners say these records prove that the deleted map was historically accurate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The PIL also refers to the 1734 Hurda Conference, where Rajput rulers met to oppose Maratha expansion beyond the Narmada River.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The petition further mentions that in March 2026, Pankaj Bhoyar,&nbsp; told the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly that the Maharashtra government would officially oppose the removal&nbsp; of the map. It further states that around 79,130 public grievances, complaints, and objections were submitted on Change.org against NCERT&rsquo;s decision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><strong><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">What the PIL Seeks:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Finally, the PIL asks the Court to set aside&nbsp; NCERT&rsquo;s decision, restore the&nbsp; deleted map in Class 8&nbsp; textbooks, and direct that any future syllabus changes should&nbsp; be made only&nbsp; after review by an independent expert committee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Case Details<\/strong>: Raje Mudhojiraje Ajitsinghrao Bhonsle &amp; Ors v.
