July 07, 2025

Courses with references to Pakistan, China, Islam, and political violence were dropped from Delhi University's Political Science department's postgraduate syllabus after its top academic body on Saturday approved the proposal.

- Aheli Das

The proposal, first floated and approved by the Standing Committee in June this year aimed to strike down the papers 'Pakistan and the World', 'China's Role in the Contemporary World', 'Islam and International Relations', 'Pakistan: State and Society' and 'Religious Nationalism and Political Violence'.

The Academic Council on Saturday also approved the introduction of a new paper on “Sikh martyrdom” in Indian History.

The course will be called Centre for Independence and Partition Studies, and will be a part of the General Elective (GE) course.

“The objective of this course is to understand the historical context associated with the Sikh community and major history and the “neglected socio-religious history of Sikh martyrdom”.
