Indian editors were overwhelmingly focused on the Supreme Court's blanket ban of an NCERT Class 8 textbook chapter referencing judicial corruption, with multiple outlets across the political spectrum reporting the Court's rejection of the government's apology, issuance of contempt notices to officials, and orders to recall all copies. Throughout the day, coverage tracked the evolving story from the Court's initial fury and demand for accountability to the Education Minister's statement that there was no intention to insult the judiciary, culminating in the Prime Minister expressing displeasure during a cabinet meeting. A secondary focus emerged on Prime Minister Modi's diplomatic engagements in Israel, where he announced a special strategic partnership and potential defense deals, though this story was consistently overshadowed by the domestic textbook controversy.
