An invitation card at the G20 signed the “president of the Bharat” is the source of rumors in India. This country would indeed be tempted by a change of its name. The controversy is triggered.
If Bharat, alongside India, is the official name of the country according to the Constitution, his job on such a protocol document cannot be accident. Many sources indicate that the government wants to change the name of the country in Parliament, where it has a majority.
“Bharat” This polemical term designating India and privileged by the nationalist far right. The word goes back to the ancient Hindu texts written in Sanskrit. It is one of its two official names under its constitution, in opposition to the term “India”, chosen by the British colonists.
This name change is also part of the movement of “decolonization of minds” wanted by nationalists.
