The panel\u2019s suggestions also included introducing \u201cclassical history\u201d in lieu of \u201cancient history\u201d and incorporating the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in the syllabus for all subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee, chaired by C I Isaac, expressed a unanimous recommendation for using the term \u201cBharat\u201d in textbooks across all classes. Additionally, they advised the inclusion of \u201cclassical history\u201d in place of \u201cancient history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the NCERT has not yet made a decision on the panel\u2019s recommendations, Isaac mentioned that the committee also proposed highlighting \u201cHindu victories\u201d in various battles in the textbooks, emphasizing that the present textbooks mention failures but not victories over the Mughals and sultans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revision of school textbooks is in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The NCERT has established a 19-member National Syllabus and Teaching Learning Material Committee (NSTC) to finalize the curriculum, textbooks, and learning materials for these classes. The committee also recommended the introduction of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in the curriculum of all subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth noting that the Indian Constitution uses both \u201cIndia\u201d and \u201cBharat\u201d in its text. Article 1, a foundational provision that establishes the Union of India, states, \u201cIndia, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.\u201d This article played a crucial role in determining the nation\u2019s name. The draft of Article 1 was adopted on September 18, 1949, under the leadership of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chairman of the Drafting Committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI, Oct 25:&nbsp;High-level committee for social sciences, formed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to revise the school curriculum, recommended replacing \u201cIndia\u201d with \u201cBharat\u201d in textbooks for all classes.
