NCERT modifies 'dancing girl' image in class 9 art textbook
The original bronze statuette, discovered at Mohenjo Daro, is depicted nude except for multiple bangles on one arm and a necklace; in the new textbook, it appears in a darker shade, with parts of the torso covered compared to its original form
The NCERT has altered the depiction of the Indus Valley 'dancing girl' in a new class 9 art textbook. The original bronze statue, found in Mohenjo Daro, shows the figure as nude with bangles and a necklace. The textbook version appears darker and covers parts of the torso. The changes have raised questions about the representation of historical artifacts. Some critics argue the modifications may affect students' understanding of the original artwork. The decision highlights ongoing debates about cultural sensitivity in educational materials. The statue is a significant example of ancient Indian art. The textbook aims to provide a more conservative portrayal for students.
The modification reflects broader discussions about how historical and cultural content is presented in education.
