  "account": "Delhi University (DU) has revised its postgraduate History syllabus, removing two key courses on the Delhi Sultanate and the History of North India. The Delhi Sultanate course, which examined medieval political, religious, and cultural life, along with other medieval, ancient, and modern India courses, was dropped from the newly notified syllabus. Faculty members noted that both courses were core components of the program for several decades, with distinct focuses and structures. The revised syllabus, approved by the Academic Council and Executive Council, now includes additional courses aimed at better representing various periods and regions of Indian history, in line with the guidelines of the National Education Policy 2020.",
