“India” Out At G20 Summit Too; Bharat Kicks In

Web Desk(Tvm)Updated: Saturday Sep 9, 2023

New Delhi : In the G20 Summit hosted by India, the Central government yet again christened the country as “Bharat”.  The title plaque to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s seat at the summit read  “Bharat” instead of  “India”.

Earlier, the G20 invites  sent to foreign delegates was signed as from “President of Bharat” and not “President of India”. The handbook delivered  to invitee delegates was labeled “Bharat, The Mother of Democracy”. Soon after this, the  intimation note informing Prime Minister’s visit to Indonesia  for ASEAN Conference too read “Prime Minister of Bharat”.

The name-changing spree took grip after RSS Chief Moan Bhagwat issued directive asking to stop using “India” in all places possible and replace it with the “Bharat” instead.
