Netizens reacted within the following method.

Some netizens supported him saying, “That is a extremely essential level about preserving the authenticity of our heritage.” and “Right Equally, it is Mahabharat not Mahabharata; Yog not Yoga; Dharm not Dharma, Itihaas not Itihaasa and so forth…Others didn’t agree with him.
