Class 7 question paper frames Kashmir and India as two separate countries

A Class 7 exam question paper in a school in Bihar allegedly contained a question that distinguished Kashmir from India, sparking a new controversy.
The Education Department of the Bihar government has been conducting mid-term examinations for students in classes one to eight, which continued from October 12 to October 18. It came to the fore when the students of class seven were asked in their English exam: “What are the people of the following countries called? One is done for you. “The paper setter cited the example of China and asked, “As the people of China are called Chinese, what are the people of Nepal, England, Kashmir, and India called?”
This question was allegedly asked of these students in Araria, Kishanganj, and Katihar and further “highlighted the mindset” of the paper maker and setter.
“We got this via the Bihar Education Board. The question had to be asked: what are people from Kashmir called? But, it was mistakenly carried as, what are the people of the country of Kashmir called? This was a human error,” Headteacher SK Das clarified.
