No sense of preserving history and names, just morphing into modern usage and lage Raho attitude. 4 hours ago, zen said: To advance their dumb agenda (which could include actually not highlighting what is of cultural importance to the region and reducing it to just “suffering” to cater to foreigners) these people also try to misrepresent (unnecessarily drag in) other cultures/groups including “Jews” w/o even understanding the nuances of history It’s ignorance to equate modern linguistic prevalence with history or culture by people who are ignorant of Indian history. The other group serve as an example of a point you cannot refute, hence call it unnecessary without any justification. Coz you have no logic, just whining coz your point was destroyed with logic,

At this point, IMO, basically three types of groups would oppose to "Bharat" being made the predominant official name: a) Visualize the term as a Hindu name (Even though it is cultural and when in the region, a Bharat is likely to be the more common name than John or Dimitris - a reality) b) Associate the term with Hindi (even though it is Sanskrit and its variants used in various regional languages) c) Like status quo for some trivial reasons As discussed, a large group of people is already happily using the name whether in official capacity, regional languages, interactions, national anthem, and so on .... and would appreciate the name becoming predominant D) people who want to preserve their history and not devalue the name that has far bigger historical usage amongst all people- foreign and native.the kind of people who most Indians aren’t, the kind of people who want Indians to grow a sense of culture and history over cosmetic name changes to have a native vineer over things. Larger group of people have used India/hindh historically than bharat, including natives.

The larger point is that people prefer the name "Bharat" (the reasons can be multiple or even no reason) Quote your unsubstantiated opinion on calling it dumb stuff still remains unsubstantiated. For those who can't grasp Quote There is no fraud because VHP isn’t just a religious organization ad they accept atheist Hindus in the ranks along savarkars original intent. No one cares.

Hence we want to keep our prime name as the one that has most usage and weight of history.
