The publication made this conclusion on the basis of invitations to dinner for the participants of the G20 summit, which will be held September 9-10 in New Delhi. This invitation states that the event is hosted by the President of Bharat.
The ruling Indian People’s Party has previously opposed the use of the name “India” as it was “imposed during the British conquest,” The Guardian notes. In addition, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi most often refers to the country as Bharat instead of India. According to the newspaper, the Modi government has already taken a number of steps in the past to combat the colonial past, “erasing the symbols of British rule from urban landscapes, political institutions and history books.” The possible abandonment of the colonial name The Guardian calls the “biggest step” along the way.
According to the TV company News18, the Modi government is preparing to remove the word “India” from the constitution amid a drive to liberate the people from the “slavery mentality”. Channel sources predict that the government will submit a resolution on renaming to parliament during a special session.
