Delhi University Removes Delhi Sultanate from Postgraduate Syllabus

Delhi University has officially removed the 'Delhi Sultanate' period from its postgraduate history syllabus, effective from the upcoming semester starting in September 2026.

The decision, confirmed by the university's academic council on August 14, 2026, is part of a broader curriculum revision aimed at emphasizing ancient Indian history and regional dynasties.

Student unions and faculty members have expressed mixed reactions, with some arguing the change limits historical perspective while others support the focus on indigenous historical narratives.
