> > The largest political, religious and military entity in South Asia is

> > known internationally by the name of India. This was the name by

> > which the entire region became known to the West. It is therefore

> > consistent that it was the name given to the largest colony of the

> > name by which this nation refers to itself. 'India' conjures up

> > images of colonial hangover, with its integral inferiority complex.

> > It in no way suggests a nation asserting itself, a nation on the

> > brink of stepping from the developing to developed world, a potential

> > superpower in the forthcoming millennium. A name change will enhance

> > this newly found self-confidence; announce to the global community a

> > nation reviving its ancient spirit, and remove the inferiority

> > complex from the mind of its citizens.

> > On becoming a republic in 1950, India chose for itself the Hindi

> > name 'Bharath' for private usage (adapted from one of the ancient

> > kings of folk memory). The world continues to refer to Bharath as

> > India. A name change to LBharataú the actual Sanskrit name of the

> > ancient king would be in keeping with similar events elsewhere in the

> > post-colonial world (Siam to Thailand, Ceylon to Sri Lanka, Rhodesia

> > to Zimbabwe, Nyasaland to Malawi, Burma to Myanmar). India smacks of

> > colonialism, a name foisted upon its unwilling inhabitants. The

> > change to Bharata, a name by which the Bhartiyas have always known

> > their land will change this, and greatly change the attitude of the

> > global community in a more positive direction. Combined with the

> > revival of Sanskrit as a national language, this will enhance its

> > prestige among the international community. The example of Israel

> > with Hebrew lies before us.
