India or Bharat

A government that is obsessed with PR has just launched a rebranding campaign for the entire nation.

Good decision, redo everything whatever the britishers imposed on us 🫡

I have been seeing this bullshit since Chandrayan-3. We were waiting for the soft landing, and this old ass captured half the screen waving the flag! Bro enough, please let us see what ISRO got us to see. Vse bhi pura din bhaiyon bheno hi sunna hai tmhara! Itna bakwas time kharche karne hai inko. All this stupidity is just for their advertising for the upcoming election. Elections are coming, guys. Kisi tarike se toh chutiya banana hai na logo ko? Hamne India hata ke Bharat kia, deshpremi ham. India-Bharat kya fark padta hai?

This is absolutely retarded and waste of resources. Imagine all forms to be updated from India to Bharat. I still have to search gurgaon or Gurugram on half the forms I fill. Now imagine this stupidity at a country level.

India name came from "Indigo" cultivation by Brits and is a reminder of colonial slavery. I feel it's great the we are moving away from the slave mindset. There was no India before the East India Company, but Bharat has existed since eternity. It's really great we are going away from slave mindset to embracing our glorious past. And, for all the money that is getting spent, I guess this is any day better than what went to corruption of earlier governments.

BHARAT AND INDIA ARE INTERCHANGEABLE NAMES, THEY ALREADY EXIST IN THE CONSTITUTION AND PASSPORTS AND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, WHY DO WE NEED ANY "RENAMING" AT ALL 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I foresaw this move the day the Congress alliance was named I.N.D.I.A

I am wondering the cost of renaming all government documents and visa and currency and passport and everything . I really don't see any need of it when we really should be focusing on manufacturing industry and boosting startups.

This is political stuff man. i was hoping this forum would avoid these things. I know everything political will have some impact on biz but given the hypercharged politics of today, best to avoid. i just quit platforms where these things get discussed - i see folks taking potshots on both sides in the comments. Not necessary at all.

If it does happen, my sympathies with all the dev, legal and god knows what work involved in renaming this in places

I will still call it what it really is, India

It's because of the success of Bharat Jodo Yatra! Masterstroke by Rahul Gandhi!! Hence proved modi is a secret agent of congress

200 rs le lo bhyi extra (LPG thing). Use offset karne ke liye ye faltu ka kaam badha ke pata nahi kitne ka fatka maarne ki planning hai. (Take that 200rs extra for cylinder. Not sure what amount of nonsensical work + budget would be used just to offset it)

Brand and all talking points are bs. So is the need to do this right now. Goal is the news cycle, I believe.

Ghanta farak nai padhta

now onwards they'll make bisro, bit, bim, bisc, br, many such acronyms, these sounds soo wrong.

If this happens, Srikar Bharat will have his name in front and back of the jersey when he gets selected next for the national team

Well....I expected a bunch of cool, dudes in the chat...always against everything the govt does. Haha ..typical.

Honestly, I was expecting they would do this sometime, when they started changing city names. But I thought it would be in the next term.
