On August 6, 2006 The Times of India reported, "With the Sikh community taking strong exception to some alleged 'misrepresentation of facts' in its history books, NCERT has decided to get these portions checked by a well-known scholar and historian. NCERT's decision has come following a letter to its Director Krishna Kumar last week by Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh, who had received a memorandum from Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), saying certain references to Sikh history was 'hurting the sentiment of the community'... 'There are certain misrepresentations of facts in the existing text books. This hurts the sentiments of the Sikh community. We had demanded the texts to be ratified by Prof Kapur,' DSGMC President Harvinder Singh Sarna said. The earlier text books, which have been replaced now, had also a lot of misrepresentations of facts on Guru Teg Bahadur, Sarna alleged. However, NCERT spokesman Ashish Bahad said whatever alleged misrepresentations there were in the earlier books have now been deleted and the new lot of Council's books do not have these portions."
