Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The rebranding of the Congress-led coalition to the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has sparked a debate, with Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claiming that the British named the nation India, but that “we must strive to free ourselves from this colonial legacy.”

“Our civilisational conflict is pivoted around India and Bharat,” Sarma said in a tweet.
“The British named our country as India, and the Congress accepted it. We must strive to free ourselves from this colonial legacy. Our forefathers fought for Bharat, and we will continue to work for Bharat. BJP for Bharat,” he added.

On Tuesday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge unveiled the name of the opposition alliance that would face the ruling NDA in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections: the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
Kharge stated that the second meeting of the opposition group was critical for preserving democracy and the Constitution in the interests of the people of the nation.
“We have come together and discussed various points. With one voice, people supported the resolution adopted today,” he said.

“Our alliance will be called Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA),” Kharge said.

Good, India is the ancient name of Eastern Pakistan, appropriated by fake Indians to feel good about themselves.

Columbus searched for the land of spices known as India. He named the natives of Americas as Indians. Most of the spices he wanted are in Southern part of India

Sorry the British called their company East India Company. All their outposts were in India and Bangladesh. They did not touch anything in what is called Pakistan for first 200 years of their stay in the subcontinent

Maybe it is time to change that? Call it Bharat( although it would take a lot of slaughter of pronunciation until it becomes common)

Anyone can say In-Dia

Expect a lot of Baha-rat, Brhaat, Bhaat, Brat etc

the powers in charge of all political stripes seem to have a real fetish for changing names of places

Was there ever anything important from what is now called Pakistan ? I credit the British for building the canal system and transforming the whole area into a bread basket. It also helps British can whip the asses of anyone who wanted to invade India.

The Europeans wanted to get to a place they called India. Most of what they wanted was in current India proper. I will let you put 2+2 together

Indians, Bharatis and Hindustanis are locked in a perpetual war of existence. All 3 constructs of some imagination of Nation State have failed in the Subkontinent

Columbus made a mistake. Indus is not in South India. Most of the spices he wanted came from South East Asia, not South India. British made a mistake. They called Bengal British East India whereas Dutch called Indonesia Dutch East India. Neither is correct. Why do you want to be named after a British mistake, don't you have your own identity?

Europeans did not come up with the name "India". You assume the British made a mistake. The probability British, French, Dutch all made mistakes is low. Most things Europeans associated with India were not from modern day Pakistan. most of current day Pakistan was a wasteland prior to British canal system. There were 15-20 European trading outposts in India - none in modern Pakistan.

India was never the sole source of spices

He just gave you proof of the Dutch and British making mistakes simultaneously lol.

Just accept that your community back home should renounce the name of India. Ive thought about it and a good name would be AASIa - it reflects India's demographics and native populace and captures their spirit as opposed to naming themselves after Vedic tribes they can't even trace their lineage to.

LOL - Bharat - a name coming from their cartoons. They want to name their country based on some mythology written in a language (sanskrit) that does not exist. And these people say they are all about science and technology.

Even funnier is that this is all coming from some mutt from the furthest Eastern region of the country while the name Bharat comes from a people situated in the far Northwest of the subcontinent - not even even of their country. How these beasts feel entitled to chinp and claim things which aren't even remotely connected to them, idk.

You Pakistanis should align yourselves with the Arab Habsi Muhammad Bin Qasim, rather than the Hindu king Maharaja Bharat.

It is quite amusing to witness how Pakistanis, who are descendants of Arab Habsis, attempt to associate themselves with Indian Hindu kings.

Europeans did. India is an European term. The real name is Sindh/Hind.

You can never deny these 2 facts:

Fact 1 --- No one in India ever called their religion "Hindu" religion before British colonial era.

Fact 2 --- No Bengali, Maratha, Telegu etc. ever called themselves Indian or Hindustani before British colonial era.

The Mughals extended their definition of Hindustan to include Western UP, but even that is a stretch.

Bharata was an Indo-Aryan tribe. They would vomit if they saw the ugly black modern 'Indians' claiming themselves to be their descendants.
