short by Sunny Sharma / on Monday, 15 June, 2026
An image of Indus Valley Civilisation's "Dancing Girl" of Mohenjo-daro appears in NCERT's Class 9 arts education textbook Madhurima with bare torso shaded. The retouched image obscures anatomical details visible in photographs of the original bronze figurine. The textbook is part of NCERT's first arts education series introduced under National Education Policy and National Curriculum Framework.
