Delhi University removes Delhi Sultanate paper from History syllabus

Delhi University removes Delhi Sultanate paper from History syllabus

Delhi University is a big school in India where students go to learn after high school.

The people in charge of the university decided to take away some classes about history.

One of those classes was about the Delhi Sultanate, which was a group of rulers who lived in Delhi a long time ago.

They also took away classes about women, religion, and old Indian governments.

The university says they did this to make the classes more balanced and to include more parts of India.

But some people think this is a bad idea.

They say students should get to choose from many different history classes.

They also say learning about the past helps us understand how things became the way they are today.

The people who are upset think the university should add more classes instead of taking them away.

They want students to learn about many different points of view.
