'Bharat', 'India' to be used interchangeably in textbooks, debate over it useless: NCERT Chief

The NCERT will use "Bharat" and "India" interchangeably in school textbooks, aligning with the Constitution's use of both names, says NCERT Director Dinesh Prasad Saklani. This follows a recommendation to prioritize "Bharat" over "India" in curricula. Saklani emphasizes that both terms will be applied as appropriate, dismissing the controversy as unnecessary.
