A high-level committee tasked with revising the school curriculum by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has proposed the substitution of the term ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’ in textbooks. The committee’s chairman justified this recommendation by citing the historical significance of the name ‘Bharat,’ which can be traced back to ancient texts like the Vishnu Purana, dating back over 7,000 years.
Professor CI Issac, chairman of the committee, explained, “The unanimous recommendation made by the seven-member committee has been incorporated in its final position paper on social sciences. This position paper serves as a pivotal guiding document for shaping the framework of forthcoming NCERT textbooks.”
