Doesn't matter we called it India

Both BhaRat and Endia looks fine to me.

US has a problem to decide how many genders exist, we have a problem trying to find the exact name of our country.

Technically speaking, both are correct. Rest everything is just politics and useless time waste. That's how the constitution starts.

 

[Maira La]

Technically speaking, both are correct.

Technically speaking, India is not correct. Before British named you India, you didn't even know you are India. Technically speaking, India is Eastern Pakistan, and the local name is Sind.

Now Pakistan should rename itself Indus. This should be the new flag.

Hell no

Makes sense as the Indus River, which the word India is derived from, isn’t even located in India.

You should have read and followed his words to the core.

And there was a Pakistan before 1947?

 

[JonAsad]

We should change our name too.
Pakistan doesn't sound correct, it should be Faujistan or CAOStans.

In punjab we call india as bharat since ages, Actually it's been called as bharat by locals in other states as well I guess.
It's just now educated youth and media made India popular.

There was no need to change name , just say India in Eng and bharat in regional language on Govt papers. India is a brand outside, u don't just let go of ur brand just like that. Guju knows better.
It's just politics being played and common people being common when comes to sane thinking.

People who are going to fk India are going to keep doing it even if u call it bharat or hindustan or India.

 

[Muji.Iqbal]

Hold it right there, is the name change official? I have yet to see it on DAWN, Al Jazeera, BBC

British did not name it. This region was known by Hind and India for far longer than that. The Indian Ocean has been known by its present name since at least 1515 when the Latin form Oceanus Orientalis Indicus ("Indian Eastern Ocean") is attested, named after India, which projects into it.
