India will allegedly change the country's official name to Bharat. There are historical and ideological reasons for the plan of a Hindu nationalist government in the country. However, there are also political reasons.
The following article was translated using both Microsoft Azure Open AI and Google Translation AI. The original article can be found inThe page of platform X of the opposition party leader of the Indian Congress, Shashi Tharoor, displays an invitation from the President of India listed as President Bharat, in New Delhi, 5 September 2023.
"Bharat" is an ancient Sanskrit word believed by historians to have originated from early Hindu texts. The word"Bharat" also means"India" in Hindi. For a long time, the country with a population of over 1.4 billion has been officially known by two names,"India" and"Bharat". However, the name"India" is the most commonly used, both domestically and internationally.
Dhami is a figure from the ruling party who distributed dinner invitations to G20 guests through his post on X.The Modi-led party has long been trying to remove names associated with the Muslim Mughal and colonial history of India. In 2015, the famous Aurangzeb Road in New Delhi, named after a Mughal king, was changed to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Road after protests from Modi party leaders.
For some people, the timing of this controversy is suggestive. The incident occurred just a few days after the government announced a surprise five-day special parliamentary session at the end of this month, without revealing any agenda. This move triggered unconfirmed reports that a name change could be discussed and approved during the session.
Regardless of the controversy, both the names"India" and"Bharat" have existed and been used for over two millennia. Supporters of the name"Bharat" claim that"India" was given by the British colonizers. However, historians say that the name"India" has existed for centuries before colonial rule came.
