At the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Modi's nameplate read 'Bharat' instead of India, sparking attention amid the 'Bharat' versus 'India' debate. Videos showed Modi addressed as leader of 'Bharat' too. This follows controversy over the dinner invite shift from India to Bharat. The debate prompted speculation Parliament may discuss a name change in the upcoming special session. While BJP pushes for 'Bharat', the opposition calls it a distraction as the term already exists in the constitution. However, Modi has asked ministers to avoid the political heat, noting Bharat is the country's ancient name.
