NCERT book shows Indus Valley ‘Dancing Girl’ artefact's pic with covered torso; sparks debate

The bare torso of Indus Valley Civilisation's "Dancing Girl" artefact was shaded in the image in a new NCERT textbook, sparking a debate as experts called it misrepresentation of original artefact. The torso has been shaded over, obscuring anatomical details visible in original sculpture. The image appears in the "History of Arts" chapter of Madhurima, Class 9 arts education textbook.
