Replace 'India' with 'Bharat' in all school textbooks, suggests NCERT Committee

A committee for social sciences, constituted by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has recommended replacing the word 'India' with 'Bharat' in all school textbooks. It has also suggested introducing ‘Classical History’ instead of ancient History in the curriculum, said the committee’s Chairperson CI Issac on Wednesday.

The panel has also suggested incorporating the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) into the curriculum for all subjects.
