Delhi University's removal of the Delhi Sultanate elective and other history papers from its postgraduate syllabus is criticized for narrowing student choice and hindering critical engagement. The author argues this action contradicts the National Education Policy's aim of fostering considered judgment and multidisciplinary learning. History, presented as a continuum, requires understanding complex pasts like the Delhi Sultanate to connect with subsequent eras. Rather than reducing the curriculum, the author suggests widening it to incorporate diverse perspectives while preserving intellectual depth. A storied university should trust students to navigate historical complexities, not restrict their learning options.
