The South Indian History Congress (SIHC) has urged the Ministry of Education to refrain from replacing ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’ in school textbooks.
The demand was put forth in a resolution passed during its 42nd annual session which concluded here on Monday.
A high-level committee instituted by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to revise the social sciences curriculum had recently recommended the change in nomenclature.
