NCERT textbook shows Indus Valley’s ‘Dancing Girl’ with covered torso to make it ‘age-appropriate’
NCERT’s new Class 9 arts textbook has altered the appearance of the Indus Valley Civilisation’s ‘Dancing Girl’ artefact. The traditionally bare torso is now visually covered in the new edition. This change has drawn criticism from experts who argue it misrepresents the original 4,500-year-old bronze sculpture. The matter is currently under review by NCERT.
