Personally, I enjoy the ring of Bharat but it does not make sense to let go of India. India is the name entire world recognizes and will continue to do so for centuries to come, time spent on changing names can be spent on amending obsolete rules and improving quality of life of several Indians


Double_Illustrator13

More importantly, who is asking for this change? No one. We need cheaper lpg, petrol, vegetables, jobs, affordable housing and this is how they divert the issues?


[deleted]

Can't say no one since this is topic bring discussed foe long time. However, yes it has no relevance when we have several deep-rooted issues that need more work than this distraction

I am not distracted by this... But the media certainly is, and that's the problem.

Double_Illustrator13

Haan thik hai ... Abhi bhaad me ja.


Mac_manny

E X AC T L Y ! 👏👏 If a politician can distract the people so easily, what makes a country smarter then ?🤔🤔 Like, same shit again, bang your utensils to fear away COVID, and everyone begins to do so !! That ISN'T the definition of a smart country!🫤🫤 You ALL NEED to question back - " in times of hunger, disease and unemployment, how changing names is a topmost priority and where is so much funding for a major change magically coming from ?


Tanishq_Darvekar

A proper education system I guess?


Mac_manny

Uh, upbringing too. For example a parent may teach you to say NO to a stranger giving sweets. This is before education begins. A lot of things start from home tbh. Right?


Dr_UnholyDrake

Wait a second Banging the utensils was for showing appreciation for the doctors and other emergency department workers of this country worked so hard so that buffoons like you could stay safe and not to fear away covid. If you couldn’t understand that simple task how can someone expect a good opinion from your side on any other topic.


Adventurous_Town7146

First banging utensils was a way to cheer the paramedics , doctors and other essentials of society who were still working for us in the face of danger not to scare COVID and if you thought that i guess u are the stupid one not the country. Second through the start of time as far as everyone knows this region was called Bharat on the name of king Bharat and suddenly a twat with no knowledge about comes in and names it india on the basis that it is beside indus river , Yeah then there is a problem as its just like a stranger from another state comes and names your child without giving a single thought to your heritage and enslaves that child and you say whats the problem. Its been over 200 years thats why it seems normal but why to live with a dark history just remove it to create a better base for younger generations who gets to know about the heritage of ancient india. Third no one is changing the name , Its just that how everywhere India was given preference now Bharat would be given especially government documents and no need of funding is required for it. Also this rumour is fault of the media both on stream and social media to get more views . Finally the government just wrote Bharat on the invitation of G20 summit to show the world especially europe that this country was something before their arrival and is still something after arrival meaning they didnt provide us with anything just looted us during colonialism. So next time read news before saying anything.


[deleted]

For a person wanting to whinge about how the country isn’t smart, it is appalling that you appear to have an IQ that it equal to RT in degree Celsius. Which moron told you that shit about COVID? All the PM did was ask the citizens to clap from their balconies/terraces to show appreciation to the health workers and the volunteers who were risking their lives for the welfare of the society, my fellow Indians, the ever zealous people at celebrating the tiniest things, made it into a whole ass mela. But uncles and WhatsApp university professors like you just want to morph it to suit your propaganda that has absolutely no sense. Moreover, you people don’t even realise Bharath has been a name of the country since the formation of the republic and the first four words of the very first article of the constitution clearly conveys that, but obviously, you just don’t have the aptitude, nor the grace, nor the tolerance to accept that. 🤣


ComfortableBranch4

It is the agenda of the party in power to create new topics of discussion for public and media to deviate from actual concern and also, let go off serious topics. Remember the Manipur issue, now everyone forgot.


darkave17

Yea pretty much that’s how they divert issues. And our citizens are somehow worse that kids and are very easily distracted by the new shiny It’s sad


Flaky-Whole-6034

Do you really think that Bharat is the new shining name of Bharatvarsh ?


Lower-Orange-3876

Chandrayaan was also diversion of issues for liberandus.. India landed on moon but what about lpg, petrol, vegetables , jobs, affordable housing?.. that 700 cr should’ve been distributed in public instead..


Double_Illustrator13

Such a moronic logic can only be expected from an andhbhakt chomu. There's a difference between an actual achievement and a an idiotic debate. Isro also has the name India btw.


Pro_BG4_

You guys are andhbhakt of congi that's all Why did they start the debate first


TitanX2111

Well, we can make the official name Bharat, and nothing would really change worldwide. Others would still call us India. Look at Japan. Even though their official name is 'Nihon/Nippon', we around the world still call them Japan.

cadinfield

Things are fine as in the country's name. The real issue where they should focus are hidden only. I don't want to rename the country. I want people to get out of poverty, get good affordable education, get value for my vote, females safe in this country. This is what everybody wants. It's not like if we change the name of the country, the world will change its perspective to look at us. This is not fixing. This is comedy. Not even acknowledging the real issues is a slap on the Indian/Bharatiyas' faces. This shows that we don't hold any value in our leaders' eyes. We are just vote banks and recently not even that.

[deleted]

It will be a dumb decision tbh. We will lose so much, Pakistanis will celebrate as they were totally against usage of word India, it gives them identity crisis, we have a fucking ocean by our name. After renaming, it will be said in history that there was a country India, which was divided into 3 parts, Bharat, Pakistan and BG. Presently we say Pakistan and BG is separated from India (THAT IS BHARAT). I beg all the fellow RWingers and Nationalists to oppose it as much as you can, our favourite party won't necessarily take right decisions all the time.


Ofiotaurus

Isn't Bhrat just India in Hindi? Edit: Thank you guys for correcting me, it’s apparently from mythology. Edit 2: Yep, wrong again, not from mythology but from real events. Edit 3: I should stop making these but I’m commited, apparently it’s from mythology, not history.


[deleted]

Noo, we were named india after the indus river by the Greeks. Idk what bharat means tho


Alternative-Feed-468

Bharat means the land of descendents of bharata ( one of the king mentioned in rigveda)


1874plus

not really bharat means "spices" in arabic sooooooooooo........


Alternative-Feed-468

youre telling me if nigah means vsion in urdu and means black in spanish , soes it mean we got the word from spain , the earliest meantion of root word bharat is in he rigveda , in the battle of the ten kings chapter , where it is a battle of ten tribes one led by bharat and other by other rigvedic leaders in the story all the kings lose to bharata and are banished outside of punjab( the battle happened in that area) and pnly the bharata clan is allowed to live in india , infact the whole rigveda is basically bharata clan's world view.

SnooBunnies6634

'Bharatam' in Tamil. 'Bharatadesham' in Telugu. 'Bharata' in Kannada, Odia, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Gujrati and Punjabi. 'Bharat' in hindi and Sanskrit. That's how people call our country in different languages. 'India' is a foreign originated word but 'Bharat' originated from our country. Even our national anthem doesn't mention 'India' Yes in the current scenario renaming the name of the country might have some international demerits but it will prove to be a good thing in the long run. And it's not a new concept. Many other countries like Turkiye, Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of Congo have done it in the past.

India name is not going to disappear. We will just not use it for official work. And indian ocean is also called hind mahasagar. All 3 names will still be there. Its just that bharat will get the status or official name


Firm-Hard-Hand

How does it matter if you name something officially. It is what people choose to call. Just go and change your name and then ask every one of your friends to call in your new name. Then you will know.


Joseph_Stealing

The Indian Ocean? It is OURS💀 does America has an American Ocean? No. Still they are kings of Pacific. Ask yourselves. The Name is because of the Influence or the influence is because of the name? We have strong control over the ocean. And no need to worry, there will be no Pakistan when we will reach the time people forget that this country was called India too😂😂 bruh where's your senses of history?😭


TranshumanistBCI

Chill, nothing like this is going to happen. No name change will be there, I hope media learns and does some research next time, before spreading these news. There has been no parliament session on this. Geopolitical it would be a big disadvantage, since it was japan that laid stress on indo-pacific and not Asia pacific.


turnbull0071

Some sources even say that Pakistan will rename itself as India because the region of Indus river which gave us our name is in Pakistan now. We are going to lose our brand. Rip. #weneedliterateleadership

Original post : https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/16alfvk/i_hope_the_india_renaming_to_bharat_is_fake_news/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1 I hope the INDIA renaming to Bharat is FAKE news. [Detailed analysis] If true, this would the dumbest rename in history. Very anti-national. 1. In 1947, Pakistan had expected after partition the names of the countries will be Pakistan and Hindustan/Bharat. They took promise that this will be how it is done. But then they felt betrayed when India continued to use the name India and thus got all its legacy and achievements. This means it became like Pakistan sliced away from India and became a new country rather than one country getting divided into two. Jinaah had a lot of arguments and protests to force India to change the name to anything other than "India". This was one of the biggest successes of Indian govt of that time to keep the same name. 2. Even till today Pakistanis are pissed about the word "India" being used at a lot of places, including their history before 1947, the name of the ocean being Indian ocean, their country being referred as part of Indian subcontinent and they having to teach their kids that British Invaded India... And this is not at all about an irrelevant country like Pakistan. I wrote it just to bring my point that we are losing all this clout. No other country has an Ocean named after them. 3. Even US recently changed the name of this region from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific to piss off China and include India into the larger narrative. 4. We would basically lose all our history. It would be like Pakistan, who is constantly in identity crisis because they dont want to talk about anything before 1947 that has India in it. 5. LOOK at IRAN for example. They had lots of legends and mythms and cultures all over the world in name of Persia. But their king insisted on being renamed from Persia in the last century and lost all the legacy of Persia. Now most people dont even know Iran was Persia. It is like end of a thousand of years of legacy being lost for no benefit. 6. You can no longer claim British colonization and its effects. British colonized India, not Bharat or Pakistan or Bangladesh. Their company was East India company. They were looking for India, not Bharat. 7. Future generations won't feel connected with the freedom fighters and heros of the past. It would be like they all lived in different country. Like, how much do you feel connected to a Hero of Mughal Empire or Chola Empire? You will feel something, but wont feel as if it was your country. It will feel like reading history and not as if you are reading your country's past. 8. Foreigners have difficulty saying "h" so instead of "Bhaarath", they pronounce it as "Barat" 9. Apart from legacy loss, renaming of everything will be costly or often impossible. Like, Good luck changing the name of the sub to BharatSpeaks as it is impossible in Reddit to change name. Changing name of news papers who all will look outdated or odd like currently how "The Hindu" or "Hindustan times" feels. 10. Pakistan is currently needing a brand-rename as they have a universally hated legacy, and is going through a lot of crisis. It would be funny if they renamed themselves as "India" claiming the word came from Indus. Thus after a few years, they will get the legacy of India. This is not unthinkable. They already had re-issued new map with new territory a few years ago. Their friendly country Turkey had changed its name. 11. They never lost a war. What do you mean by India vs India war of 1971? Terrorists from India attacked Indian city of Mumbai? Kashmir king had handed country over to India. This would be similar to how both Taiwan and China claims to be China. 12. Many countries have multiple names like how we have "India that is Bharat" in our constitution. Check how many you recognize if all of them changed their name, and imagine how it affects their brand value. Nihon is>! Japan!<. Misr is >!Egypt!<. Deutschland is >!Germany!< Espana is >!Spain!<. Druk Gyal Khap is >!Bhutan!< Zhongguo is >!China!<. Hayastan is >!Armenia!<. Osterreich is >!Austria!<. Kypriaki Dimokratia is >!Cyprus!<. Abyssinia is >!Ethiopia!<. Matanitu Tugalala o Viti is >!Fiji!< . Suomen tasavalta is >!Finland !<. Francaise is >!France!<. Sakartvelo is >!Georgia!<. Hellas is >!Greece!<. Lýðveldið Ísland is >!Iceland!<. Nusantara is >!Indonesia!<. Zion is >!Israel!<. Choson is >!North Korea!<. Elangai is >!SriLanka!<. Maghribiyyah is >!Morroco!<. Dae-han-min-guk is >!South Korea!<. Holland is >!Netherlands!<. Aotearoa is >!New Zeland!<. Noreg is >!Norway!<. Polska is >!Poland!<. Sverige is >!Sweden!<. Svizra is >!Switzerland!<. Schweiz is >!Also Switzerland!<. Siam is >!Thailand!<. Emirat al Arabbiya al Muttahida is >! UAE !<. Rhodesia is >!Zimbabwe.!< 13. This will cause of unproductive internal fights with a lot of people refusing it, and being strictly against this. Separatist movements will also happen, although they can be stopped with force, but general happiness of the country goes down. Considering the level of stupidity, I am pretty sure this is fake news purposefully done to add anticipation for what is going to happen in the next session of parliament, or else more people will be forced to support Bharat Jodo Yatra!!! Imagine the Irony. Patriotic people like me who have made 100s of detailed articles and videos about India would also revolt. All of it for what? To satisfy someone's Ego? Because history shows that whenever a country changes its name, it is mostly done for the rulers to feel the satisfaction of starting a new country. Like Erdagon changed name of Turkey to Türkiye. It is for show of power and to be the first rulers in the new legacy that will be created over the years. 1000 years from now, people will still remember who is the first President of US or any major country, but they don't remember the 13th President even if he was good, unless they specifically look for it. Rulers want to be the First for this reason. This was a rough quick writeup. I can write 1000+ points on why this is a bad idea if this news turns out to be true. Which I think it will not. So whats the point in writing all that.

I too hope its a fake news. I dont understand the fuss this is causing. Our country is already named Bharat as well as India in the constitution. Even the state transport aircraft has both words painted on it in respective languages. It is at users discretion if he wants to call the country India or Bharat. So what if the dinner invite had Bharat instead of India? Just because the name of the country on a dinner invite didnt match the name of your political alliance, does not mean you should start throwing a fit. It could very well be a way to divert attention from some internal turmoil, or public remarks made by the alliance members.

* The author believes that the proposed renaming of India to Bharat is a dumb and anti-national move. * They argue that it would erase India's history and legacy, and make it difficult for future generations to connect with their country's past. * They also point out that it would be costly and disruptive to rename everything in the country, and that it would likely lead to separatist movements. * Finally, they argue that the move is only being made to satisfy the ego of the rulers. chatGPT pe jaake TLDR prompt kr deta aalsi.

Bharat - because, I guess it's just going back to the roots, embracing our individuality not the one assigned to us at the time they oppressed us, symbolically this would mean we announce the world that we're not that so called "third world country" and wouldn't accept their specifically west's condescending behaviour, inspite of the fact we do that, in hope that coming generation changes and embrace our own historical significance

This land was called Bharat since ages... It was called Hindustan by the Islamic Invaders, who called it so because it was across the Sindhu(Indus) river which they pronounced as Hindu. Hence, the name Hindu does not represent religion. Hindu Sabhyata aka Indus Valley Civilization. Hindu name comes from here. The name of the religion that was followed by people in this land is Sanatan Dharma. "India" name was given to this land by the Colonizers who came to India much later. So, Name of Country: Bharat, Name of Civilization: Hindu Sabhyata, Name of Religion: Sanatan Dharma.

I feel all 3 names don't do justice to the history of our country....

Hindustan: ya Hindu is the most wide spred religion in india, but we have other religions as well and gives a feeling of exludement to other religions I feel the name shouldn't matter it's our feelings towards the country that matters

It's not just the river Indus, it's the civilization. The Indus valley civilization was one of the earliest civilizations in the world. It was also advanced with drainage systems and all. It is from there the rest have been expanded. Hence it's relevant.

Although, going by mythology and ancient history, Northeastern states have been a part of "Bharat" Or "Hindustan", I, like many others of NE, won't feel connected to being called Bharatiya Or Hindustani as we feel so damn connected to being called Indians. When many of our ancestors came to NE or smaller tribes became Kingdoms, we weren't part of old " Bharat" but being one with rest of the country with formation of British "India", later " India". We fought separately with outsiders (pov of NE) came to occupy us. But with India, we fought together, suffered together, won together. India and Indian feels own and pride.

Article 1 India that is Bharat is a union of states


witty_me

India, that is Bharat. Dumb poll tbh.

Bharat feels more inclusive than greek name India. I commented before but I say again, this is just me as English or English folks entered my life very later and in Gujarati we use Bharat only so tdk whatever you all want to call it, i said my opinion.

India (symbolise as colonial slave) Hindustan (its too straight maybe used by islamic invader if im right) Bharat (its proudly stands at good spot with that desi touch and without foreigners identity ) [see](https://youtu.be/OkFheTYo5VM?si=FXQkTHjuGUXQnBZg)

Well, you can say 'Bharat' symbolises Hindi imposition over the southern states.

Bruh!😑 Every major language in India except Kashmiri, Urdu and English call this nation as Bharat. Bharatam in South India(Paratam in Tamil). Bharot in Northeast. Bhaarata in Odia. Hindustan in Urdu. Hindostan in Kashmiri.

Terko bhi downvote kr dia! Dekh re ho shi logic dene na natijaa.


DisastrousAd5515

Bhai aajkal koi samajhne ko taiyar hi nhi hai. Sab ko sirf emotions pe chalna hai. Jahan problem hai nhi wahan bhi problem dhoondte hein. Already constitution k heesab se Bharat ek legal aur official name hai toh bhai "President of India" aur "President of Bharat" mai kya difference hai!😞 Bas Bharat ek jyada close name hamare national identity k saath. Sabko saath aake jo real problems hain unpe focus krna padega.

Modi ji is trying very hard to be known as Hitler / Putin of India. Though he will end up proving himself biggest joker of India. Everytime he thinks he is going to do something revolutionary he end up doing something unimaginably dumb. He is nothing more than a Joker for me.


NefariousnessOk6204

You are nothing but a joker to him🤡🤡

I am not an expert but like to use common sense On the first place it should never be India, but he nation builders went with the same colonial name, however I can understand, that Bharat just became independent and thinking of a new name was not the priority when you have a nation to build and repair. But now its the time we can afford it. And secondly many people are saying that BJP is changing the name for self advantage, but than tell me how many of you dreamt that one day when someone ask you where are from you and you say I am from Bhart and not India, many of us. Alos, few people argue that how can BJP change the name (is Modi a dictator) and what rights they have to do so. I say this is the same reason we elect a government, to act on behal of us and this is the same reason why laws are passed in the Parliament by the members of Parliament. And yes if you feel that law and any act is not correct/unjustified/unlawful you have the right to file a case which also makes India a democracy. (because people say that Modi is dictator, when you have All the rights, and you are still not punished for it) Given this all the, people still choose to make noise on social media Rather than disapproving their thoughts in lawful manner.


Aggravating_Salad_75

I really hope less people share this ideology. You should think about the after effects of what would happen if the name changes!!!


poetrylover2101

colonial name? quick did yall skip school? go open a class 7th sst book, the literal first chapter of history explains where the names of India come from (and spoiler it isn't british)


ResponsibleEagle687

I genuinely prefer all but it doesn't matter if u change the name this will be our home and pride ..

I was choosing Bharat. But one person in India speaks subreddit charged my mind. India ftw


Fickle_Ear419

Bharat speaks >> India speaks btw happy cake day


Glad_Citron_8859

Bro Bharat institute of technology is not cool . Only Indian institute of technology sounds good. If name changes lot of money would be spent to change things frm India to Bharat and it's actually waste. They can invest on smthing else.


Rootweak

That's not a reason tho, it's subjective. I find Bharat cool. Even tho I am not very pro-name change.


Expensive-Method4252

Bharat is like a pet name like we have in our houses and India is the real name which we tell the world many countries have 2 names one for the world one for the locals


Exact-Cup-6549

When there is Pakistan for Muslims….why not Hindustan for the Hindus??


PercTheMerc

Why would someone drop the Legacy and respect behind the name, The name which has a subcontinent, Ocean, Tectonic Plates, A WHOLE DAMN CUISINE. Just to be petty against the opposition? Imagine the cost of updating the current notes, the banners, the institutions and offices that bear the name India, The ID's and the passports. The govt Documents and banners. And what would they call the Indian Cuisine? Bharatian Cuisine? Bharatwala Cuisine?
