BJP MP Sparks Controversy By Proposing To Rename ‘INDIA’ To ‘BHARAT’
Delhi/Hyderabad, July 29 (Maxim News): BJP MP Naresh Bansal stirred a row in Parliament after he stated in the Rajya Sabha that the name “INDIA” is a symbol of ‘colonial slavery’ and it “should be removed from the Constitution”.
He also sought the renaming of the country’s name to ‘BHARAT‘
It may be recalled that Bansal while speaking in the Upper House, asserted that the term ‘India’ was imposed by the British colonial rulers. He emphasized that the country’s ‘true ancient name’ is ‘Bharat’, which has roots in ancient Sanskrit texts and has been in use for thousands of years.
The BJP MP further said that as a nation with a rich historical identity, India should abandon the colonial era designation. (Maxim News)
