September 5, Fineko/abc.az. The Indian government intends to return the former name of Bharat to India.

ABC.AZ reports that Indian Congress leader Jairam Ramesh wrote about this in social network X.

“Under Article 1, the Constitution states: 'India, that is Bharat'. It should be a Union of States," Ramesh wrote.

He also confirmed that the official G20 dinner invitations from the Indian President have been sent under the name of 'President of Bharat' instead of the usual 'President of India'.

“The British changed Bharat's name to India. Our country has been known by the name 'Bharat' for thousands of years ... it is this country's ancient name and is found in ancient Sanskrit text .. The name 'India' is a symbol of "colonial slavery" and "should be removed from the Constitution",” said one of the MPs of the Upper House of the Indian parliament.

A resolution for changing India's official name to 'Bharat' will be presented during the special session of Parliament, scheduled from September 18-22.
