The debate over whether to use 'India' or 'Bharat' has sparked discussions nationwide. Spiritual leader Jagadish Vasudev suggested using 'Bharat' instead of 'India', arguing that 'India' reminds us of colonial times and lacks deeper meaning. His views gained widespread attention, with many supporting and criticizing his stance.

YouTuber Dhruv Rathee opposed Vasudev's idea, accusing him of stirring division for political gain. 

Another YouTuber, Gaurav Taneja, defended the diversity of opinions on the internet, highlighting the need for respectful discourse.

Amidst these debates, the NCERT, which oversees school textbooks, clarified its position. They stated that both 'India' and 'Bharat' will be used interchangeably in textbooks, aligning with the Indian Constitution where both terms are recognized. NCERT's Director emphasized that this approach ensures inclusivity and respects diverse viewpoints.

He emphasized that the focus should remain on providing quality education rather than getting caught up in unnecessary arguments about words. NCERT aims to reflect both historical continuity and constitutional values in its educational materials.

This debate reflects broader discussions about national identity and language in India today. As discussions continue, NCERT's decision aims to balance tradition and modernity, ensuring that students learn about their country's rich history and diverse culture in a way that respects all perspectives.
