Students in Gujarat to say 'Jai Hind, Jai Bharat' instead of 'present sir' during roll call

In a bid instil nationalism from a young age among students, the Gujarat education department has issued circular directing students to answer their roll calls with Jai Bharat or Jai Hindi instead of Yes Sir or Present Sir from January 1. The decision will be implemented in all government as well as private schools. The decision was inspired by a Rajasthan teacher who was honoured by RSS student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
