India, July 7 -- More than four months after withdrawing its controversial Class 8 Social Science textbook, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has released a revised edition featuring a redesigned cover that gives the Supreme Court greater visual prominence than any other national institution.

Unlike the earlier cover, which depicted the Supreme Court and Parliament with relatively balanced prominence alongside monuments, portraits of national leaders and symbols of modern India, the revised edition places the Supreme Court at the top of the composition, making it the dominant visual element. Parliament, meanwhile, has been shifted to the bottom of the design.
