Inappropriate Language...

[Mujahid Memon]

Please also ban anti-religious slangs and sentences. For example
- 6th/7th century religion
- (when a terrorist attack happens) "religion of peace strikes again" etc
- generalization of terrorism with Islam

Where is the usage of BHARTI by Doordarshan, can you link?
Its Bhartiya, not Bharti as pointed out earlier.

Corrected, but since Bharati is essentially the other name of saraswati.. it cannot be coined an insult.

"Baharat"

Spice/spices or herbs in Turkish.

Why would our neighbors like to call us by a goddess name?

What in your opinion is inappropriate way ? I mean I use the word Bharati simply with meaning as Indians. What is inappropriate there? I mean what exactly is bothering you?

I have lots to say but then why should i bother explaining things when i know my suggestion is not being taken seriously.
Specially after a post like this>>>

There will be NO ban on Bharat or Bharati as it is in usage by Doordarshan which represents the state of India and not one member. AND THERE WILL NEVER BE A BAN ON INDIAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR.

Thank you for confirming it.

Its called spelling errors, you can spend your time correcting them to Bharatiya.

In Urdu we have this word, which is used very commonly and in no way as a derogatory insult. Ask any Urdu speaking Indian, he will explain to you.

I know many Pakistanis in real life.
Why is it that I have never heard them call me a Bharati ever????
They address me as an Indian or Hindustani. If it was a commonly used urdu word, as many claim here, they would have definitely used it in front of me is what my logic tells me.

Well then you have not met me and many many more Pakistanis from PDF.

You'll learn that it is perfectly normal non-derogatory term.

One has to argue her or his point with reasons and should not back off. I still did not get what is inappropriate in it.

Many Indians use pakeeeii word here which is a slang but still i personally laugh it off. It does not harm us in anyway.

Why I am feeling that you do not have appropriate reasons for calling Bharati or bharat as inappropriate

Rofl, then there is a very line you are walking on mate.
Just cutting off STAN from your country name makes you squirm, while you play around with goddesses of other religion and term it spelling mistakes. Very well, Keep up the good work.

for your information nobody here or atleast 99.9% do not know if bharati is a godess so there is no question of using it as a slur against her.

If that is so then why there are some companies named bharati is this not playing around with your own godesses ?

PDF!
That's right. This is the place where I first heard the word. Otherwise we call it Bhartiya.

You'll learn that it is perfectly normal non-derogatory term.

why would have I objected it in the first place if it had not been used a derogatory term on the forum?

Anyways choro.


You can call us whatever you want. We will remain what we are. Bharatiya!

bharat as inappropriate

I have NO issues with the word BHARAT,because we call it BHARAT too.
I have an issue with the word BHARATI,because it's the wrong word.
Right word is BHARATIYA.

For example,if I were to tell you that my name is Levina but you insist on calling me Lovina, would it not offend me???
A distorted version of my name would offend me. The same logic applies to my nationality too.
I'm bharatiya not bharati.

One has to argue her of his point with reasons and should not back off

Thanks for giving me a chance to explain things.

Done with this thread.

Why do you really keep interpreting things in a way that they are not, just to get offended?

No offense, but this is a typical sign of hyper-sensitive people.

For the last time, Baharti is a non-derogatory normal word. Please get over it.

Springy you're not getting it.
To an Indian it is offensive.

Perhaps you need to expand your social circle. The word has been used quite commonly since the early 60's.

Not sure if you have many Indians in your "social circle".

Anyways, thanks for the suggestion.
