Doesn't everyone. Any other country you know that has Bharat as it name.
Wrong.
Historically, Bharat refers to the present day territories Pakistan, Nepal & Bangladesh. The inverted U if you will put above the map of Melukhkha it will cover it from three sides.
That's when Bhuddism started to take root in these regions that the ancient Melukhkhians started to call out the name of these regions as Bharat and badly wanted to take these territories back from Buddhist influence.
Now don't manipulate this fact that Bharat was named after some King Bharata who freed the regions of present day Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh because he didn't, Bhuddist left the region without violence and war because they didn't believe in bloodshed. They moved to Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan. If you start to name your country after one Raja, many other Raja's alongwith other mythological figures will be disappointed. So dont even try that. No single person can defeat a religion or take an entire territory back. Just like you guys invented the Hindu name Kashya to refer the origins of name Kashmir because guess what? It's so easy to invent. Talking comes easy to you guys, and research difficult.
That said, the "Indian" constitution as unoriginal a piece of document it is records the name of land as Bharat wrongly.
This original and the oldest name of when this civilization was thriving alongside Mesopotamia was Melukhkha.
Craft your name along the lines of Melukhkha to claim an originality.
PS: I have yet to know Melukhkha and Maleecha are cousin words. They so sound related. Anyways it's the most original (and most ancient) word Meluhhians had for themselves.
You wanted 56. I wanted 3.
Forget 32. A mere 2 are enough to create a fracture line in the fabric of 'the largest democracy of the world,' and you know which 2 am I talking about. Thank Pakistan a ton who does not fan these as much as it could and should have in addition to blocking the eastward winds of terrorism without absorbing which Malukhkha would have jolted to its core and there would have been no one to blame.
