Lone Wolf Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Will have to see how Non Hindi states look at it... Article 1 does say India that is Bharat is a Union of states. So both kinda exist Useless exercise either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Already India is referred to as Bharat in Hindi as well as a couple of other Indian languages. This is somewhat similar to Deutschland - Germany. So don't understand the need to make a name change for India/Bharat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does its stroke nationalism or unifying factor that India did? Its debatable as founding fathers had a definite challenge to find common ground with lot of regions & linguistic divide lasted literally decades & we still see after effects of it. Also geopoltically we have a Ocean named after us as well which we like to call it as our backyard like SCS does to China or East China Sea. Nobody would call it Bharati Ocean except Urdu speaking Pakistanis. It's a meaningless exercise. India has many names already... Official name changing has no significance in the long run. It may only cause further divide. Insidious and bowl_out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingravi Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) This is beautiful chess move but opening was given by opposition. Although I was anticipating it before 2029. Net benefit for BJP here. Congress can't go against it if the prince just completed "Bharat jodo Yatra".

someone Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 A welcome move. Many think nation started in 1947, before 1947, there was nothing, zero. The name “India” itself is a representation of western worldview. We ought to have our own view, see the world, religions, history from the dharmic lense. We constantly do deep introspection, but what about duo-diligence ? It’s paramount to study others, competitors from our perspective. Renaming India would be one good step.

It is a RSS or a good old urban myth. There are many who have ruled it out, including Tagore. I want it changed, because it is in a regional language, Bengali which we can’t relate to much. Vande Mataram stokes true patriotism and rashtra bhakti for being in Sanskrit, the mother of all Indian languages! raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
