    I saw someone claiming #India is changing its name. The truth is not so easily defined. It seems India and #Bharat are both used, but the current ruling party wants to stop using 'India' due to belief that the name is a colonial relic.

      from AP News
      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.
