The G20 summit in India will be the first time that the country will use the name “Bharat” as its official name on the international stage. This change in terminology has been met with mixed reactions, with some people expressing enthusiasm and pride, while others have raised concerns about potential implications for the country’s constitutional identity.
The term “Bharat” is the ancient name for India, and it is still used by many people in the country today. It is also present in the Indian Constitution, specifically in Article 1, which reads, “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.”

The decision to use “Bharat” at the G20 summit was made by the government of India, and it is believed to be a way of asserting the country’s cultural and historical identity. However, some people have argued that the change in terminology is unnecessary and could be seen as a way of alienating India’s minority communities.
The debate over the use of “India” versus “Bharat” is likely to continue, but the decision to use “Bharat” at the G20 summit in India is a significant one that is likely to have far-reaching implications.
