You are being funny... But Indians take it seriously.
LOL, in this case, you just agreed with Churchill. India is a geographical expression.
Vishnu Purāna mentions:
ऋषभो मरुदेव्याश्च ऋषभात भरतो भवेत्
भरताद भारतं वर्षं, भरतात सुमतिस्त्वभूत्
Rishabha was born to
Marudevi,
Bharata was born to Rishabha,
Bharatavarsha arose from Bharata and Sumati arose from Bharata.
—Vishnu Purana (2,1,31)
ततश्च भारतं वर्षमेतल्लोकेषुगीयते
भरताय यत: पित्रा दत्तं प्रतिष्ठिता वनम (विष्णु पुराण, २,१,३२)
This country is known as Bharatavarsha since the times the father entrusted the kingdom to the son Bharata and he himself went to the forest for ascetic practices
—Vishnu Purana (2,1,32)
uttaraṃ yatsamudrasya himādreścaiva dakṣiṇam
varṣaṃ tadbhārataṃ nāma bhāratī yatra santatiḥ
उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् ।
वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संततिः ।।
"The country(varṣam) that lies north of the ocean and south of the snowy mountains is called Bhāratam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata."
- Vishnu Purana
Tianzhu or Tenjiku(
Chinese and
Japanese: 天竺)(originally pronounced xien-t'juk) is the historical East Asian name for India that comes from the Chinese transliteration of the Persian
Hindu, which itself is derived from the Sanskrit
Sindhu, the native name of the
Indus River.
Tianzhu is one of several Chinese transliterations of Sindhu.
Shendu(身毒) appears in
Sima Qian's
Shiji and
Tiandu(天篤) is used in the
Hou Hanshu(Book of the Later Han).
Yintejia(印特伽) comes from the
Kuchean Indaka, another transliteration of
Hindu. A detailed account of Tianzhu is given in the "Xiyu Zhuan"(Record of the Western Regions) in the
Hou Hanshu compiled by
Fan Ye (398–445):
"The state of Tianzhu: Also, named Shendu, it lies several thousand li southeast of
Yuezhi. Its customs are the same as those of Yuezhi, and it is low, damp, and very hot. It borders a large river. The inhabitants ride on elephants in warfare; they are weaker than the Yuezhi. They practise the way of Futu the
Buddha and therefore it has become a custom among them not to kill or attack [others]. From west of the states Yuezhi and Gaofu, and south until the Western Sea, and east until the state of Panqi, all is the territory of Shendu. Shendu has several hundred separate towns, with a governor, and separate states which can be numbered in the tens, each with its own king. Although there are small differences among them, they all come under the general name of Shendu, and at this time all are subject to Yuezhi. Yuezhi have killed their kings and established a general in order to rule over their people. The land produces elephants, rhinoceros, tortoise shell, gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin. It communicates to the west with
Da Qin the
Roman Empire and so has the exotica of Da Qin."
