  "account": "Delhi University has removed the Delhi Sultanate course from the postgraduate syllabus, according to Indian Express. The course, titled \"The Delhi Sultanate: Structures of Authority in Medieval North India (13th-14th Centuries),\" examined the formation, governance, and cultural life of the medieval state that ruled large parts of the Indian subcontinent. Other dropped topics include \"History of North India, c. 1400-1550,\" \"Political Processes and Structure of Polities in Ancient India,\" and \"Religion and Society in Ancient Indian Literature.\" These changes were made as part of major revisions to the university's syllabus in response to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.",
  "summary": "A number of other topics were also dropped in the third semester in the officially notified syllabus of the university that was published on 7 August.",
