In a chapter on "Regional Aspirations", a section titled ‘2002 and Beyond" has been added. It lays out the history of coalition governments in Jammu and Kashmir between 2002 and 2014 along with the death of Mufti Mohammed Sayeed and his daughter becoming the first woman Chief Minister of the State.
"During the tenure of Mahbooba Mufti, major acts of terrorism, mounting external and internal tensions were witnessed", it says. "On 5 August 2019, Article 370 was abolished by the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019 and the State was constituted into two Union Territories, viz., Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh", says the new textbook.

CBSE students will also learn about Niti Aayog, as well as NDA III and IV. "A major change in Indian politics after 2014 is the shift from caste and religion-based politics to development and governance oriented politics. With its pre-intended goal Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, the NDA III Government started several socio-economic welfare schemes to make development and governance accessible to the masses", it said.
The section on India’s Nuclear Policy has also got some additional material, which reads, "but in view of contemporary regional security challenges, the present government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear that the policy of no first use can be reviewed and changed in accordance with India’s regional and national security".
