	=== ~~Role~~ in [[2020 Delhi riots]] ===		=== Views ===
	On 12 September 2020, he along with [[Sitaram Yechuri]], [[Yogendra Yadav]] and others was named in the supplementary chargesheet by [[Delhi Police]] for his alleged role in [[2020 Delhi riots]].<ref>https://indianexpress.com/article/india/delhi-police-riot-chargesheet-sitaram-yechury-yogendra-yadav-6593798/</ref>
			====NCERT history textbook revision====
			In his literary and cultural criticism articles featured on Al Jazeera, he expressed his disapproval of the alterations made in [[NCERT]] textbooks. He argued that the history of [[Islamic rule in India]] was being marginalized, despite its significant presence in school textbooks since Indian independence. Specifically, he highlighted the revised syllabus in CBSE schools, stating that the "legacy" of [[Islamic rulers in India]] was being erased from history textbooks. Apoorvanand claims that this revision, under the guise of "reducing the learning load on students", was actually a form of "cultural genocide". He emphasized that this revision was leading to the exclusion of important historical events, such as the [[2002 Gujarat riots]], the assassination of [[Gandhi]] by [[Nathuram Godse]], instances of [[untouchability]], and the [[Caste system in India\|caste system]]. He believed that this omission would hinder children's understanding of national history by concealing crucial truths and presenting India as a nation devoid of discrimination and violence.<ref name="self">{{cite news \|last1= \|author1=Apoorvanand \|title=India’s textbook purge: Why is Modi so scared of history? \|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/4/13/why-is-modi-so-scared-of-history-textbooks?traffic_source=KeepReading \|access-date=20 February 2024 \|work=Al Jazeera \|date=13 April 2023 \|language=en}}</ref>
