Motivations behind selecting the name 'India' in 1947

[red_baron]

i don't understand that why always pakistanis have problem with name of our country as india, indians have no problem with it. pakistan always complain that india has stolen the name from pakistan history as indus river flows in pak from which india is derived. i think to end this debate the best sol. is that pakistan should rename itself as india which they claim belongs to them, india will rename itself to bharat, hindustan or anything else. this will end all problems with word "india" as pakistan will get it's right & indians will be happy too.

best would be to try gandhi posthumously for copy-right infringement and fraud

That's not really surprising. India gets a history, Pakistan loses one. It's like France calling itself Gaul in the future. Then Nigeria calling itself France and claiming Napoleon's victories are part of Nigeria's history.

But, I digress, back to the Saraswati River.

as we have told u before that there is proof that saraswati river existed in ancient times, in vedas there is talk about saptha sindu which means seven rivers in north westren area of subcontinent. of which 6 rivers are present i.e indus, satluj, ravi, beas, chenab & jhelum but only one is missing which is saraswati which dried many centuries back. but u will still not agree on that bcoz the problem is that u have made ur mind that come what may u will not accept that there existed a river named saraswati. i can only suggest u to find more abt saraswati river on internet.

Did you know theory of migration of people from Sindhu river to Ganges. Thats explains a lot. River used to flow in the thar desert and dried up due to climate change. And you can see today whole area is desert.

We didn't CHOOSE the name India! You guys are the one who SEPARATED and chose to name your country 'PAKistan' [A land of pure]!!

It's funny that these are the same Pakistanis who say 'I'd rather die than being called Indian'!! loooooool

I think Pakistanis love the name India and want to be called Indian rather than a Pakistani. Too Bad!

Funny to see Afghan tribals so much interested in India!

They should worry about Tajiks and Uzbeks and Kyrgyzs and so on. They are not even South Asians.

What do we care for the tribals!

The funny thing is, they speak a language which is not even remotely related to Sanskrit, has negligible literary heritage, yet claim a stake of vedic civilization! Identity crisis galore?

I cant speak for Afghan citizens, but I assume you were trying to take a cheap jab at Pakhtuns. it's actually the opposite.....even your Shahrukh Khan (an indian by nationality only) still takes pride in the fact that his papa is Pakistani from my city of Pekhawar

ask the average person in Kohat, D.I. Khan Kurram or Khyber agency what they think of indian and you will have your answer on a warm plate.

well now you're just being silly.....

i do agree that there are pockets of such nationality people in our tribal areas and theyre up to no good. More often than not -and rest assured, when the military comes across them they either get captured or shot when they put up any form of armed resistance

What do we care for the tribals!

you should be more concerned about your assamese and Maoist tribals who are blowing a lot of shyte up, kidnapping and engaging in sabotage in your restive northeast!

that's what you should be devoting more time to. Don't ya think?

You didn't get it, why would we care what they think of us? Do we(or say a han Chinese!) care what an Uzbec or Mongal think of us, those guys were zillion times more martial than people of nwfp if that is what you and your friend were trying to allude!
