short by Girish Kumar Anshul / on Friday, 5 December, 2025
BJP MP Sujeeth Kumar urged the Centre to remove title "Lord" for British Viceroys and Governor Generals from textbooks, official documents and government websites, calling it "colonial mindset". Raising issue in Rajya Sabha, he cited NCERT books and ministry portals using term, saying it was a title "given by British to the British," and continuing it reflects a "slavery mindset".
