Bihar Board mentions Kashmir as a separate country in class VII paper

A seventh class questionnaire from the Bihar state board of education has placed Kashmir as a separate country. In the examination conducted by the Bihar Education Project Council, the question was asked, "What are the people of Kashmir called?"

According to media reports, the incident occurred at the class VII semester exam in Kishanganj, Seemanchal district of Bihar.

BJP state chairman Dr. Sanjay Jaiswal took aim at the state government for this. He has alleged that Hindi schools across the Seemanchal region were closed on Friday and now this Class VII quiz, asks what people living in Nepal, China, England, Hindustan and Kashmir are called.

Dr. Jaiswal alleged through his Facebook post on Tuesday that the question itself shows that government officials from the Bihar government and Bihar government do not consider Kashmir as part of India. The proof of this is the Class VII Bihar Education Project Council quiz which is working to instill in the minds of children that just as China, England, India, Nepal are a country, Kashmir is also a nation.

Earleri in 2017, Experts in Bihar education department, Kashmir is not a part of India but a separate country.

A questionnaire prepared by the state board for class VII students in all public schools asked them to name the names of people from five countries: China, Nepal, England, Kashmir and India.

They are conducted under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Center, which is overseen in the state by the Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC), a wing of the state education department.
