Renaming a nation is a profound decision, and in the case of India, it is a subject steeped in history, culture, and identity. The proposal to change India's official name to Bharat has sparked debates and discussions across the country.
Historical Perspective: Our historical journey revealed that "Bharat" is not just a name; it is a reflection of India's ancient past. The name "Bharat" has been intertwined with India's history for millennia. However, the modern name "India" also has its own historical context. It was adopted during the colonial era, and its continued usage raises questions about post-colonial identity. The proposed name change seeks to resurrect Bharat, a name that carries the weight of centuries.
Cultural Significance: Bharat is more than just a name; it is a cultural emblem. In our examination of cultural significance, we discovered that Bharat resonates deeply with Indian traditions and mythology. It is the land of legends, from the Mahabharata to the Ramayana. The name holds a spiritual significance, representing the soul of the nation. While "India" connects us to our colonial past, "Bharat" is a symbol of our ancient roots and spiritual heritage.
Legal Aspects: We navigated the legal intricacies of renaming a nation. Changing a country's name is not a straightforward process. It involves constitutional amendments, legal challenges, and a multitude of administrative tasks. Our exploration revealed that a special parliament session is essential to navigate this legal terrain effectively. We must abide by the constitution while respecting the nation's historical and cultural heritage.
Political and Social Considerations:
The proposal to rename India as Bharat stirs political and social debates. On one hand, proponents argue that it can strengthen our national identity and foster unity. On the other hand, critics express concerns about the potential division and administrative complexities this change might introduce. The voices of citizens are diverse, reflecting a myriad of perspectives. As we approach a decision, understanding these varying viewpoints becomes paramount.
Practical Implications: Implementing a name change at a national level is a monumental task. The practical implications of such a change cannot be underestimated. From updating official documents to securing international recognition, the logistical challenges are considerable. Additionally, the renaming process may impact India's diplomatic relations with other nations. It's crucial to weigh these practical concerns against the desire for a name that resonates more deeply with the people.
The Role of a Special Parliament Session: A special parliament session can serve as a crucible for these debates and considerations. It allows lawmakers to come together, engage in constructive dialogue, and deliberate the future identity of the nation. The unique nature of this issue calls for a dedicated platform where comprehensive discussions can occur. The role of parliamentarians in shaping the outcome of this historical decision is pivotal.
Public Opinion and Surveys: Public sentiment is a crucial factor in this debate. Throughout our exploration, we've seen that opinions on this matter vary widely. Public opinion surveys and polls have provided valuable insights into what citizens truly desire. Understanding the collective will of the people is an integral part of any democratic decision-making process.
International Response: Changing a country's name does not occur in isolation. The international community's response to India's decision is a significant consideration. How will this change impact India's global image? How will it affect diplomatic relations with other nations? These questions warrant thorough examination.
In conclusion, the proposal to rename India to Bharat is more than a mere change of nomenclature; it is a journey into the heart of India's identity. It encompasses history, culture, law, politics, and society. A special parliament session is not just a suggestion; it is a necessity to navigate the complexities of this decision. As we deliberate, we must remember that this is a decision that transcends mere semantics. It is about reaffirming our cultural roots, preserving our ancient heritage, and building a future that resonates with the soul of our nation.
This decision is not to be taken lightly, and it should reflect the collective will of the people. India's identity is a mosaic of diverse cultures and traditions, and any name change must harmonize with this mosaic. As we conclude this exploration, we must keep in mind that the essence of India lies not just in its name but in the unity and diversity that define its very soul. The path forward should be one that respects this rich tapestry while also recognizing the aspirations of its citizens. In this spirit, India, or Bharat, will continue to evolve, embracing its history while forging a path into a future that resonates with its people.

SO IT WILL BE BHARAT VS INDIA !
Is this what Ambedkar meant, when he said "I am disgusted with Hindus and Hinduism because I am convinced that they cherish
wrong ideals and lead a wrong social life. My quarrel with Hindus and Hinduism is not over the imperfections of their social conduct. It is much more fundamental. It is over their ideals."
LIKE THAT OF CHAIWALA
In Volume 4 of a book, titled as "Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar: Writings and Speeches", printed by Dr. Ambedkar Foundation, Ministryof Social Justice & Empowerment,Govt. of India, and which is uploaded by the MEA on its portal (as linked below), there is an extract, which is relevant to the Times and Travails of India Today

“If the Hindu intellect has ceased to grow and if the Hindu civilization and culture has become a stagnant and stinking pool, this dogma [of the infallibility of the Vedas] must be destroyed root and branch if India is to progress. The Vedas are a worthless set of books. There is no reason either to call them sacred or infallible. Nobody had the courage to ask why these worthless books which contain nothing but invocation to Tribal Gods to destroy the Enemies, loot their property and give it to their followers (have been made sacred and infallible).But the time has come when the Hindu mind must be freed from the hold which the silly ideas propagated by the Brahmins, have on them. Without this liberation India has no future. I have undertaken this task knowing fully well what risk it involves. I am not afraid of the consequences.”
