Description

What’s in Name? Well plenty it seems when it comes to the name of a country. For 76 years most of us have been comfortable using India or Bharat to refer to our great nation. In general parlance, India was used while speaking in English and Bharat while speaking in Hindi. Now there is huge debate over giving pre-eminence of all official communication to the word Bharat in place of India. The controversy throws up a lot of questions: Why did the debate suddenly hot up? What’s behind the timing – is it politically motivated? What is the origin of the two names – India vs Bharat? What is its historical usage? And what is the way forward?In this episode of Nothing But the Truth, Group Editorial Director (Publishing) Raj Chengappa answers all these questions as objectively as possible.Listen in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound mix by Kapil Dev Singh
