Will rewrite texts if 'Bharat' used: Kerala

IndiaTimes Thursday, 26 October 2023
Kerala's education minister, V Sivankutty, has stated that the state government will publish separate textbooks if the proposal to replace 'India' with 'Bharat' in some NCERT school textbooks is imposed on them. The minister accused the recommendation of being an attempt to "saffronise" education and alter India's history. The proposal, made by an advisory committee, is based on the fact that the subcontinent was referred to as Bharat before the British rule. Kerala has rejected the recommendation and will stand against any attempts to enforce it.

LS Election 2024 Results: Shashi Tharoor Confident Of A Win, says ‘Will Win On Our Merit’

The counting of votes for Lok Sabha Elections 2024 began today at 8 am. All eyes are on whether the exit poll predictions will hold ground and Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comes back to power with a historic third straight term. A party or a coalition needs to win at least 272 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats to be in power at the centre. With one seat, Surat already decided in NDA's kitty unopposed, votes for 542 seats will be counted today. Narendra Modi will be the first Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to win three straight terms, if the NDA emerges victorious under his leadership in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. On exit polls, Congress MP & candidate from Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram, Shashi Tharoor says, "...Expectations were set on 26th April because once people have cast their votes and the boxes are sealed in the strong room then there is no further room for any argument or debate...There was no cross-voting in the previous elections. We have neither benefited from cross-voting in the past nor do we expect to see any cross-voting this time...We will win on our merit or we will fail but my view is that we are winning..." #loksabharesult #ShashiTharoor #INDIA #Congress #BJP #RahulGandhi #loksabharesult2024 #loksabharesultlive #electionresults2024 #electionresultslive #liveelectionresult #electionresults2024live #electionresultsanalysis #liveelectionresult2024 #electionresultsnow #electionresult #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024 ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.102~GR.123~
