Abstract

The NCF 2005, among some of the major curricular documents across the world, proposes one of the main goals of Social Studies Education to develop the ability to think and act independently in students. The “Social and Political Life” textbooks by NCERT also motivate teachers to posit the school as a microcosm of the society, therefore demanding similar kinds of dialogic spaces in them. However, this aspect of keeping classroom discussion relevant to the socio-political context of the students gets left behind in the contemporary technocratic school environment.
