The government of India can rename the country

In the G20 invitation letter, the country's president is already referred to as "President Bharat." Bharat is the name of the ancient people who inhabited the territory of the country, which is a local name (in contrast to India, which was named after the Indus River).

But what does it say? Perhaps this is a symbolic exit from the colonial past. Under the Bharatiya Janata party, Bombay, Madras and Calcutta were renamed in a similar way - Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, political analyst Sergey Lunev explained to NEWS.ru. (http://news.ru/)

🗯 “These were the main cities belonging to the British East India Company. So this is a continuation of the process. If the largest million-plus cities are being renamed, now it's time for the name of the country itself. I don't think this is some kind of move before the G20 summit."

The issue of renaming may be considered at the next parliamentary session on September 18-22
