"Indus" is the name of the river derived from "Sindhu."
"india" is derived from "indus"
as india is the name given by british, that too with a lot of changes, we should stop the use of the name india. It will be better to use "Bharat" or "hindustan"

The name India /'ɪndiə/ is derived from Indus, which is derived from the Old Persian word Hindu, from Sanskrit Sindhu, the historic local appellation for the Indus River. The Constitution of India and common usage also recognise Bharat (/bʰɑːrət̪/ ?·i), as an official name of equal status. A third name, Hindustan (/hin̪d̪ust̪ɑːn/ ?·i) (Persian: Land of the Hindus < Old Persian Hindu, India / land of the Indus < Sanskrit Sindhu, any river/the Indus) has been used since the twelfth century, though its contemporary use is unevenly applied.

Well, the name appeared in the writings of ancient Greek and Latin authors (Herodot, Strabo, Tacitus and others). The arabs borrowed their name for India (Hind) from the Greeks.

India nonetheless reported as India is honestly one of HER GREATNESS. even as the international salutes her as 'India' she affectionately pay interest for it. India is a huge united states of america with borders of Pakistan, Himalay, Mianmar, Bengal Bay, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea etc. yet Bharat, Bharatvarsh - it truly is different. Vasudheva kudumbakam' is the coverage of Emperor Bharat. there is not any longer a unmarried province which has its unique and actual toddlers except Bharat. In US the single hundred% inhabitants are migrated. In africa, more effective than 50% is uneducated. In Europe, 70% inhabitants is uncultured, yet civilized. No extension. ... even as the British reported as us Indian, we suggested convinced i'm Indian, If someone calls us Hindu, we are saying convinced, i'm Hindu, it truly is the reason I honestly have once suggested that all and sundry those one thousand names (Sahasra Nam) belongs to me. Whosoever worship me in by any ability call, i'm there. Whichever route they bow in worship to me, I settle for it. Whatver takes position (no matter if no longer attainable for human) in the international, it is because of my presence. subsequently, enable us no longer to regulate THE call. enable ONE call proceed to be FOR EVER. all names are mine and all are captivating. If one call is modified, the total rocord of the international can ought to regulate and for this style of replace, the fee might want to be huge. keep in mind, we've had a Muhammed Bean Tuglak, who tried to carry Delhi to the middle component to the country
