Chhattisgarh Exam Controversy: 'Ram' Listed as Dog's Name Option, Teacher Suspended

A Class 4 English exam in Chhattisgarh has sparked controversy after a question listed 'Ram' as an option for a dog's name. Hindu organizations objected, stating it hurt religious sentiments. The headmistress who set the paper, Shikha Soni, has been suspended, and disciplinary action is underway for the moderator, Namrata Verma. Both claim the error was unintentional, with Soni stating 'Ram' was a typo for 'Ramu'. An inquiry committee confirmed the option was present in the distributed papers.
