Does India Link Us To British Rulers? Historian Sanjeev Sanyal Responded To History Of Name India
A resolution to rename India as Bharat may be brought in by the government during Parliament's upcoming special session that is scheduled from September 18-22. The Constitution of India currently refers to the country as "India, that is Bharat...", but there is a growing call to amend this to simply "Bharat" The demand to rename India as Bharat by amending the Constitution has intensified and sources said the Centre may bring a resolution to rename India.

There is a compelling reason to use the term Bharat- its meaning. A swami explained it. "Bha" means bright light (as in Bhaskar); the term blinding light has been used to mean divinity in Upanishads- It is so bright that one cannot fathom it (Tagore also mentioned it in poems). "Rata" means absorbed in. Thus the term "Bharat" means One who is absorbed in meditation on God. There are countless sculptures all over Bharat that remind us of this meditative state, and that is Bharat - deep in meditation to realize the Ultimate Truth. Jai Bharat.
We should change everything then. Shouldnt call ourselves Hindu as Persians called us that. Should get rid of every food/ clothing which is not Indian. Get rid of buildings/ monuments which is not built by us. Dont use English, only use Indian languages. This is just another gimmick from politicians and nothing else. Be it India / Bharat we will always be proud. Only changing names wont make any difference. Give us good healthcare, education and jobs. We have always been Indians & supported our Team India in all sporting events. During cricket matches have always used Indiaaaa...Indiaaaaa..clap clap clap as our go to cheering. Do something which will lead our nation forward. Dont sit and debate on such silly topics. India and Bharat can both be used but just hope that this govt doesnt ban the word India then it will be worst situation than demonization...stand in lines to change documents / currency notes which mentions "India".

I repeatedly hear Bharat in the national anthem. I never hear India. According to Guardian Nigeria News, the national anthem is akin to a melodic hymn representing a country's values, history, aspirations, and primarily its identity. Therefore the country’s soul has always been Bharat which in essence means light/knowledge. Words have power. Bharat gives light/knowledge to the country. What energy does the word India give to the country?

Similarly, India and Indian were used to undermine the beliefs of the people who were natives of Bharatvarsh.

From the Church emancipated yet highly influenced by religious notions, melanin lacking White Britishers had this notion that anything or anyone who are not similar to them should be looked beneath them. So their view on humans who are brown, or non White are because of the Stories they listened from Spice merchants, they made up Stories about where these species came from. They made up Stories on pepper, cardamon, cinnamon, cloves etc . They did this to amp up the value and thereby the prices. The way the natives dressed with less clothes due to the tropical weather made them look beneath their superficial sophistication.

If Vedic Age precedes indus valley civilisation, then the Vedas have the origins to the Varna system. In Rig veda, there is something called Purusha Suttha which describes the four different varnas, by God sacrificing someone named purusha, from him Brahmin, Kyshtria snd vaisias were came into being from different parts of the body. This is the origin of caste system. If vedas influenced all parts of India and even mentioned in Tamil Sangams grammar text Tholkappiyam then, the varnas sysyem and its evolution of caste system stratified into the society through the Vedas and by its beholders. Hence the people who seek social justice detest and wants to eradicate all these notions that associated with religion these days. The stratification of castes in the society had been from the Brahminical notion, from Vedas. This struggle of vedas free, anti Brahminical, varna devoid society has happened all across at various times in history. Jainism in a way was incepted in opposite to this, Buddha denounced his life and moved from karma based life principle mentioned in Vedas or vedism to a dharma based principle. And many siavaites and vaishanavite in the South Especially in tamil nadu opposed to this idea of Varna system and vedas as it was socially discriminatory and creating a divisive, unequal society.
