A Twitter user shared the pictures of the examination paper, though the authenticity of the paper was questioned by a few.

The user then shared another image of the question paper claiming to be from a different source. Apart from the ‘BJP symbol’ question, netizens found several other questions to be problematic and accused the government of using examinations for furthering party propaganda.
“Examine any four negative traits of Nehru’s approach to Nation Building,” read one question. “Examine how regional aspirations poses challenge to national integration,” the next question read.
I see many people are asking for authenticity. Took this photo from a student who appeared. Different source pic.twitter.com/Rq78Sr9wI7

'Hatred for Nehru'
While some netizens tried to defend the question paper saying former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru is not beyond criticism, many found it deeply problematic. Check some of the reactions:
Goes to show how helpless and politically pressurized the educators must be while preparing such papers and curricula. These nincompoops literally wish to change history to be able to have an indoctrinated generation who shouldn't/can't think freely. Shame ! #BJPSeDeshBachaoo
