The Modi government is reportedly considering a proposal to officially rename the country from 'India' to 'Bharat'. A 'President of Bharat' invite from President House for a G20 dinner fueled speculation about the name change plan. Sources say the renaming could be introduced through a parliament resolution during the special session. The BJP has long pushed for the move, claiming 'India' represents colonial slavery, as per reports. MP Mitesh Patel recently raised the issue in Lok Sabha, noting 'Bharat' was preferred by the Constituent Assembly. As the government stresses freeing India from a 'slave mentality', it may remove 'India' from the constitution per reports. Congress criticised the potential move, saying it jeopardizes India's 'Union of States'.
