Our national leaders already put an end to this debate 76 years ago. We use India in English, that is, globally, and Bharat in Hindi. It's just a political ploy being played to distract our attention from more pressing issues like our economy and growth. Let's open our eyes and be considerate on what's really the need of the hour!! Farmers, Unemployed, Tribals, Women are facing crisis.
India is my emotion....i am indian , nobody can take away my identity..
For the past sixty years , I called this country , India, bharat, and Hindustan..no problems happened..now illiterates came to power. and they are using every differences to create troubles...sad..
illiterates? have you been living under a rock over the past 10 years. insidious you
You are illiterate Bharat comes from all languages of India
I believe the name comes from 2 ways. One is from Hindustan and other one from the Indus River. I Love the name India. I always say that I'm a proud Indian.
U hv every right. But should we walk around sporting a name given by foreigners who came, conquered, subjugated for only 250+ years of our history, when we have a civilisation precedes thousands of years of british civilsation came in to existence known ad Bharath
Think it.
No matter their religion, they were yr forefathers having same DNA

This is unnecessary things to change india name , INDIA name is not given by British , it was used before British arrive here .go search the history people , if you say we have to abolish British Era names then we should first stop using english language 😅
Go and search brown dictionary it gives you a different meaning... India means not one's own country.
@@desitraveller7478 The name "India" is originally derived from the name of the river Sindhu (Indus River) and has been in use in Greek since Herodotus (5th century BCE). The term appeared in Old English as early the 9th century and reemerged in Modern English in the 17th century. So history the name India is not given by British , even our constitution borrowed lots of things form British law , for example governor post which is adopted from British rule, why don't we abolish that . Many non colonial countries doesn't have this type of British practices .
First of all so many things we have to do in this country but these governments focus on changing names
@@kundrapuharitha5187 what are you trying to say here
chup
The word "India" derived from the river "Indus"
but Indus valley is in Pakistan. So we should called ourselves indians???
There is no "Indus". The actual name of the river is Sindhu. The Persians and Greeks couldn't pronounce Sindhu, so it became Indu and then Indus. Even the name Indus isn't Bharatiya.
@@Houseofstartup It's in Pakistan occupied Bharat.
There is no Indus river, lol read some history 😂
Persian named us Sindhis. Sindhi became Hindis (Recall "hindi he hum" in Sare Jahan Se Aacha). Hindis became India by British. So we don't need the name Hindu and India because they both given by outsiders.
Born as an Indian, and always will be an Indian 🇮🇳
Sunil bhai ❤
May be we can think like -
"Born in Bharatvarsha, always a Bharatiya."
" India" is a name attributed by foreigners, why not change it?

This same message is echoing around the whole world.
The whole world is with you on this for each an every single country on this planet.
If India is a colonial name, the country now we live in is also colonial. The British only created India by uniting many countries to form a single country. That is why it is called Union of india which is acceptable to all countries which united with India. Anything against it is tatamount to unconstitutional. One cannot continuously infringe into the constitution of India to bring displeasure and disagreement to the rest of the country.
India was not named by the British.
King Ashoka also United Indian before Britishers
Correction. The British created Pakistan ( East Pakistan included) by doing a botched up partition that crated deadly riots and left the country with 500 independent princely states.
@@Incredible-he1ep Who's lion and who's deer here?

India is an emotion to millions
So is Bharat
India that is Bharath. Bharath mata ki jai. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
भारत भावना है , India नही
Mera Bharath Mahan 🫡
India is just so diverse that On renaming India also, North Indians would like to rename it "Bharat" whereas South Indians would like it to be renamed as "Bharath" with extra h at the end🤣.
Agreed add one more South Indian Tamil people would like it to be renamed as "Bharatham" with extra " ham " at the end 😅 .
So what ? Bharath is the name of this country and languages differ .. what’s ur point ? Bringing language debate to this ??
How low will you stoop guys ?
All the people of India/Bharat should vehemently oppose this move by fascist RSS and its puppet BJP. We should be equally proud of both the names India and Bharat.
Why? Bharath mata ki jai! 🇮🇳🇮🇳
well said
So you are denying our history ??
उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् ।वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संततिः ।।
Excerpts from the Vishnu Puran
Bharat Mata ki Jai
India, Hindu, Hindi are all from Persia which was named after river Indus(Persian). It’s called Sindhu in Sanskrit. If so, We have to rename everything to Sanskrit, Sindhu, Sindian, Sindhi. Stop using the word Hindi and Hindu it’s alien term
Very true. Hindu and Hindi are foreign terms
Even the Hindu religion is from Aryans that migrated from Central Asia
The word Persian is itself not a Persian word, it's a Greek word lol
Congress ki aulad
Wow, if we figure out and settle the conflict of opinions in this matter. Then our country’s poverty, inflation , social discrimination would disappear in no time. Right?
Come on guys lets debate “why Indian government wants to change the name to Bharat?” Let’s discuss…
Bharat Hum ko Jaan se pyara hai, sadiyo se bharat bhumi duniya ki shaan hai ❤
Bharat! 🇮🇳🐅
I like Bharat name
India and Indian became top brand names in the world. Why change? Westerners will call BAR-RAT. just like demonetization, another exercise in creating confusion and destroying a great brand name.
I -i ndependent. N -Nation D -Declared. I -In A-August the full form(. Why thrall for it,strugglle for the honest ruler,like MODI,&it's development,,we, Bharat are always BHARAT,.
.
India is brand name. International people recognise us as such. So why change????
Ehen we vote for uneducated people this things happen....India vs bharat such a redecilous topic ever in indias history .
Guys, is Pakistan serious about claiming name 'India'?😂😂😂😂
It takes 73 years for the politicians to know the country's Original Name 😂😂
lol do some research after writing something.....
Yes it’s time we change it , it’s been 76 years now, I’m sure they’re not coming back ☺️

I'll use both India and Bharath. India came from Indus, the rivers name which Hindu also derived from So both India and Hindu are same for me.

Birts used India word from Indigent which means poor or poverty
India and Hindustan are words that come from a province and a river of Pakistan, Sindh and river Indus respectively.

Bharat mata ki joi
Can anyone please tell me the name of background music?
As for me all three are okay.
India Bharat Hindustan
They are equally same
It will only bring division among people
I don't know how I feel about this.
I am all for national identity, but it's a bit too extreme to change the name now. They should have changed it at the assembly like this video mentions
Nah, man, India was a power move against Pakistan. A symbolic gesture that means we claim our history, anything that has the word "Indian" in it (e.g. Indian Ocean) while Pakistan doesn't get a history before partition.
india/bharat was named during dinosaur era even before the beginning of the big bang itself..
um
Persian named us Sindhis. Sindhi became Hindis (Recall "hindi he hum" in Sare Jahan Se Aacha). Hindis became India by British. So we don't need the name Hindu and India because they both given by outsiders.
Why is the title image a black triangle pointed down and 38.1897°?
Jai hind 🇮🇳. Bharat Mata ki Jai. Bharat is real name . India is British name .
Idiots India was not given by british.. First go learn history..
People would still call Bharat India, kinda like how there are people who still spell Türkiye Turkey. Old habits die hard, not to mention ignorance.
Indian ❣️👍👍 not Bharat 👎
India is the right word,
Bharat ❤
Call the election commission to have a election for the name change 👍👍👍 let the people elect the name but not by Bharatya janata party or Indian national congress
I use Bharat, India, Hindustan all mixed.
I'm Indian/Bharatia/Hindustani Muslim, I speak mixed Urdu Hindi Dialect, In Urdu that's Hindustan, In Hindi thats Bharat, In English that's India.
It's not a big deal.
When a nation has alot of name in different languages that shows how important that nation has been, as people around the global due to repetitive use have been using their own version of name to describe people of Indus/Sindu
Then don't wear trousers invented by Britishers. Medias never speak about poverty in India.
To Everyone searching for the meaning of Bhārataṃ. Bhārataṃ comes from Saṃskrita Root Word "Bhṛ" which means "To Support". We can see the earliest reference from Ṛgveda Maṇdala VI, where it is used in the context to "Support the Agni". The name got adopted to a Vedic Tribe who supported Vedic Ṛṣīs, The Bhārata Purūs who inturn support the Agni Order. Purūs were the ancestors of Kurūs of Mahābhārata. So in short, Bhārataṃ means to support Agni ( Deva who brings Consciousness into Human Beings). Bhārata, the Nation that supports human conscious progression.
INDIA >>>>>>>>>>> BHARAT
Everyone enslaved peoples in bharat if you wana bring history let's be clear.. Bharat was ruled by non hindus for 1000 years you wana go back to that ?? 😂😂 these illiterate.. Do work renaming everything won't change a sh!t dumß peoples.. no wonder peoples laugh at you

So far as my knowledge goes the name BHARAT was derived from Bharat ,son of Abhimannu n Uttara, who inherited the throne of Hastinapur after Mahaprasthan of Pandavas under the guidance of Yudhisthira. ( As mentioned in the Mahabharata)
Yes sir
No - Abhimanyu and Uttara’s son is Parikshita Maharaj.
Bharata was the son of Shakuntala and King Dushyantha from Solar dynasty who established Bharatavarsha and it’s culture . Bharatha means in search of knowledge - and it’s apt for our country .
Do you think the push for studies comes to our parents because they want us to study ?? Nah nah - it’s genetic and since 1000s of years 😂
@@classnclassics7252 oh! a silly mistake on my part. Oh yes u r right Pariksit is the son of Uttara Abhi n Bharat , son of Sakuntala n Raja Dyus. Somehow BHARAT name derived from that Bharat.
Wrong bharat name is derived from Rishabdev bhgwan son named Bharat .
that was Parikshit.. Not bharat. Bhrat was son of Dushyant and shakuntala. for the country, he did not made one of his sons as next king, but made a more able person the king, King shantanu
BHARAT, Jai Hind
India i,e Bharat both are best
Bharat means our civilisation, cultures and true identities. India means opposite.
If i wanted to read, i would not be searching youtube.
Except the Hindustan and background music, source of the term BHARATH is not shown. Sad. Bharath preceds Hindustan. Pl do something on it. Arsha Bharath, Bharathvarsh, aryavarth... Kindly satisfy the right of viewers
Rahul's Bharath Jodo Yathra. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 his gang is spamming every comment section though lol
🇮🇳
Modi should first change his name before changing the name of the country 😂
This is beyond BJP, Modi or Politics.
Can't you see this heralds a New Era ? This is about rejecting the Colonial Associating, Kicking out the Foreign Influence and embracing our Proud Cultural and Civilizational identity.
If India is changed to Bharat , world history book may have to correct what Christopher Columbus thought he has discovered when he arrived in San Salvador in 1492.
Who cares ? Do you name your kid based on what the Society thinks of you or what you want for your kid ?
Indus, who gave this name to that river ? .
So Alexander the Great reached as far as Bharat instead of India !
INDIA - INDEPENDENT NATION DECLARED IN AUGUST
I think the name India should be retained for international use. I believe Bharat is also written in Hindi right? If the term 'Bharat' is used, what the demonym would be?
Perhaps, Japan is one example where the local name Nihon/Nippon is still used, but Japan is still known internationally.
Do it change it up claim your freedom.
India is what the Greeks and British called us, Bhaarat is what my Ancestors called my nation. Why would I use the name what Foreigners called my Nation ? Both are right but I prefer Bharat always.
What's in a Name?. A lot of history for sure...and a lot of blokes arguing about it!.
We need Bharata to always remember how knowledge and wealth was lost in later times.
We need Hindustan to always remember how a country could be subjugated if leaders were not visionary and keep knowledge of happening in outside.
We need India to always remember how even after being wealthiest one country can lost itself if there are infighting and treacherous activities to one's country.
We need all these so that the 1000 years of humiliation doesn't happen again.
They called Apparao as Aprao ,Subba rao as Subrao, Hemalata as Hamlet. So, did those people change their name in birth certictes? Obviously not. As soon as we got independence, we should have changed the name to BHARATH which is the original name. No politician bothered about it. Atleast we have awaken now. Jaago BHARATH Jaago
What is the origin & meaning of Bharat?
Bharat is the king of India
the ancestors of Kauravas an pandav in in Mahabharatam

Ok why kolkata, mumbai, chennai names were changed. Don't give bull shit here. Common sense the most basic identity is what we have original
From where did the name Hindu came from there India also came
Hindu did not come from anywhere . It’s sanathana dharma which Udayanidhi said - to eradicate ( anyways that’s another discussion ).
A lot of “Hindus” don’t agree with the tag of Hindu .. we are sanathana Dharmic people not Hindus !!!
I prefer BHAARATVARSH as the most appropriate name for our country and SANATANA DHARMA as the name for our eternal religion. May I request the honorable PM and other dignitaries of our country to make these names effective.
Im going to say even if Europeans used India so what you call it Bharat they will use that to eventually though im guessing most will think its another smaller country they never heard of
Goddess Indu and the pedestal Prastha.
The king in India is Bharat Son queen Shakuntala & Dushyant he only ancestors of Kauravas & Pandava including lord sree Krishna in Mahabharatam
If you're so keen to remove colonial elements (India is not a colonial name, it is a translated name) then repel the STEM fields also. Repel the foreign investments too and repel every theory that comes from the west. Give back Chandrayaan and all ISRO also because the properties used for that also developed in the west.
Why STEM? MOST of the scientific principles were originally invented in Bharath which were copied, renamed in the west. Zert, infinity, decimal system were invented in India. Ask the west to stop using them. Only fools can argue the way you do.
Who said STEM fields are exclusive to west ?? I mean - duhhh !! Even China and India had their own medicinal practices and astronomy … what are you ppl??
