Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has replaced the name India with a Sanskrit word in dinner invitations sent to guests attending this week’s Group of 20 summit, in a move that reflects his Hindu nationalist party’s efforts to eliminate what it sees as colonial-era names.
Officially both names Bharat and India are valid anyway.
How is that name misleading?
Because India the country and I.N.D.I.A the alliance are two different things which a lot of people can sadly, confuse in this country.
