What's new

India to be called 'Bharat' ?

.
If Bombay can become Mumbai,
If Calcutta and Madras become Kolkata and Chennai respectively.

why not India is known as Bharat only??

Why hold on to a colonial name given by the British??

Are people from China referred to as Chinians? :azn:

We are called Chinese; this should be common knowledge.

Do you really want to start off your new identity with a bad impression, hmm, Bharatian?

I think you Bharats are smarter than that. :lol:
 
.
When I talk in English, I say India.

When I talk in Hindi, I say either Hindustan or India.

Besides, there's a brand value attached to both these names.

Bharat is OK but I can't see a solid reason why we should let go of the other two names.

Hindustan? That's a good one! :rofl:

I think Hundustan is much better than Bharat :lol:

In English, in local languages, in light talks , in hard talks we in south use only India..and its gonna stay forever.

What's with the laugh? Hindustan is a pretty ancient name too. India has many ancient names actally,

India

Bharat

Bharatvarsh

Hindustan

these are the names that I'm aware of.

India is already addressed as Bharat/Hindustan. However this petition for name change doesnt make sense.

Irrespective of the name change, what should matter most is PATRIOTISM.
 
.
In my point of view word BHARAT represents its people more than word INDIA. Nothing strange if Bharat/India government think about it positively where people of India also will appreciate to rename country.
 
.
Another political gimmick. What is it going to achieve?
What did mumbai, chennai, kolkata achieve?

We have build a brand called "India" which has brand recognition worldwide. Why destroy it, without any gain.

Bangalore becoming bengaluru is the most ridiculous idea anybody can think of.
