Cricketics Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Only time I hate the word "Indian" is when when Americans use it to describe the "Native Americans" as Indians. Tendu_10 and Vilander 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muloghonto Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 And all of Tubby's idiocy is about tucking tail and running away from questions asked, as above, because it exposes him as a dumb God-fearing idiot like our missionary-mullah idiots trying to present religious nonsense as 'science'. Showing proof that Pakistani want us to stop using the name India due to its immense historical brand-name is now chaddi idea of 'yindoo-yahudee conspiracy'. Go play with the mental midgets trying to scam people with gau-mutra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkt.india Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 when we write in hindi, we dont write India, we write Bharat. Hindi name is still Bharat. Indian is used only as an English term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is our global identity. India is a lot more common throughout history, than Bharat. Just like how billions identify Mercedes and BMW with Germany and not Deutschland, so too billions identify the taj mahal or Kumbh Mela with India, not Bharat. If you really want to call India by an indigenous name, use 'Aryavarta/Aryadesha'. that term, is far more commonly used by our ancestors through history than bharat.

Therefore, one should stop making unnecessary fuss about Hindi being promoted or using native names such as Bharat On one hand we post such videos, on the other oppose what is native to promote foreign languages and names that foreigners have given to the land If we have to go by the spirit shown in the video, we should not have problem with using Bharat, which is one of the official names of the country and used in many native languages Edited June 27, 2017 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tendu_10 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 trust me, it is a reality in history circles : since late 90s/early 2000s, there is a small but vocal community of Pakistani 'scholars' and journalists who promote the idea that 'India' of Greco-Roman/Persian reference is to Pakistan region and hence, India is a name for Pakistan, not whole subcontinent. It is a ridiculous position but it exists- see for yourself in google. Not just some random message board stuff but actual publications spread this. Reality is, 'get rid of India as a name for Rep. of India' plays into their hands. Never forget, the fundamental narrative of our enemies about us : they 'live' for the lie that there is no 'Indian civilization', that south asian regions were sufficiently differentiated to constitute different civilizations with common religion- sort of like how Egypt was never 'Europe' despite being christian for 300 years, etc. Fundamental to their narrative is to potray 'India' as a regional name for Indus valley, not all of sub-continent. lmao pakistanis want nothing to do with indic or vedic history. They have been brainwashed into thinking that "Islamic" history is theirs. Pakistani schools history starts with Muhammad Bin Qasims invasion of Sindh n all the Muslim Invaders of India are presented as the forefathers of Pakistanis. Despite most Pakistanis being descendants of native converts from dharmic religions. only small percentage have legitimate turkic mongol arab or persian heritage. But most Pakistanis claim they have some foreign descent to distinguish themselves from Indians. Pakistanis dont want to claim any of Indian subcontinents rich pre islamic heritage. Its the same in Egypt only Copts care about Egypts Pharaonic and pre islamic history. the muslims identify with the arab invaders of egypt and dont really look at history before that.

So why did Madras (foreign derived) change its name to Chennai (native)? Esp. since there are far more imp issues to worry about Let's not hide behind priorities.
