India name change to 'Bharat' in G20
In recent days, there has been a noticeable trend advocating for the use of 'Bharat' instead of 'India' when referring to the country. This shift was prominently highlighted during the recently concluded G20 Summit held in New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seated in front of a name card bearing the inscription 'Bharat' rather than 'India.' This marked the first instance of 'Bharat' being employed as the official reference for India at any global summit.
