Muloghonto Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 6 minutes ago, someone said: You never give up. Repeating the same nonsense over and over. It is not a fight like between Bharat vs Aryavarta. That is never the case and really completely irrelevant. All of these words are compatible with each other. I am happy with the term India. But through this India term, one will never be able to tell our civilization, history and story. You also know that very well. India is relatively new word and not made by us. We have older words like Bharat and such words will remain significant and powerful. Thus, its usage remains even today to describe us. And my last reply to you. I simply do not agree that an older world is more representational because its older. What is more prevalent is more representational or what has a better historical context is more representational. As i said, i've never spoken to a Punjabi or Southie guy who used 'Bharat'. Ever. Even in bengali, we say 'Bharot' but fluent, Bengali speaking Punjabis in Kolkata still call it 'India' in mid sentence bengali. So it is a more representational term. Actually outside of Hindi and Bengali speakers, i've never heard the term Bharat used by any other Indian ethnicity in conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any one loose the name India for something as arbid as Bharat ? is it the name Bharat or is it Baaharaath ? lol India is a brand, admittedly of lack of latrines and pooping in the open as of now but we can work on it. Bhaarath is an Indian nick name, for us to call it amoung ourselves it sure is local and we know it but its probably not best suited to rename India as a country with that. I mean why would we loose our significance as the Indian civilization. Its India (Bharat) always. Please note that Bharat and India are both official names of the country. My point is to use Bharat more extensively rather than India, which you accurately mentioned also brings images of unpleasant things such as fascination with everything phoren, a former British colony, slavery, poverty, uncleanliness, corruption, etc., so there is no harm if "India" is eventually phased out from official usage FYI (from wiki): "The Republic of India has two principal short names in both official and popular English usage, each of which is historically significant, India and Bharat. The first article of the Constitution of India states that "India, that is Bharat, shall be a union of states," implicitly codifying India and Bharat as equally official short names for the Republic of India" "The official name Bhārata was picked to be name of country India in 1950."

India is the first name among equals. So there is no case of Bharat being the name of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is to discontinue the official usage of the term "India" (unofficially it can be used) and only officially use the native "Bharat", which more accurately represent the historical greatness of the region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't find more than 10-12 references, in entire Indian history leading up to 200-300 years ago where 'Bharat' is mentioned. As i said, we used 'Aryadesha/Aryavarta' far more commonly.

Official name for out side being India, We differ in one aspect which is loosing the name India, it will open for exploitation later claims may come from Pak/BD etc that they are the original India so yeah not happening.

There is nothing complicated about this including claims being foresaken. The country would only need to say that from this point it would refer itself as Bharat only Such things are not rare.

Show us which historical text from India uses the term 'bharata' from the thousands of years following Rig Veda, until the 19th century. Mulo in his anti-chaddi avatar! in Vishnu Purana :- उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य: हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् । वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम: भारती यत्र संततिः ।। The country (varṣam) that lies north of the ocean and south of the snowy mountains is called Bhāratam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata." The Sankalpa we recite every day - we say Jambudweepe Bharatavarshe Bharatakhande, , it has always been in our memory that this land is Bharat.
