Class XII students of CBSE have new life infused into their political science books.Heading the committee set up last year to revamp Political Science books, Suhas Palshikar, a professor in the department of politics and public administration, University of Pune, along with team member Yogendra Yadav of the Centre for Studies on Development Societies, came up with the idea of introducing Bollywood movies as reference material for various chapters in the book.

Thus, the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) textbook titled ‘Politics in India Since Independence’ lists Garam Hawa, based on Partition, as reference for the chapter ‘Challenges of Nation Building’. Satyajit Ray’s masterpiece Pather Panchali is a reference source for the chapter ‘Politics of planned development’ and Mani Ratnam’s Roja is put under the chapter ‘Regional aspirations’.
