Why two names are used in two different languages - India in English and Bharat in Hindi, even if it is a proper noun?

the official name is india. since it is a secular country some people call it bharat. majority of the people are hindus. hence it is called as hindustan. epics says india was established by bharat sage, hence it is clled bharat. only official name india is to be considered.

Both are official names. We are known as India, in English, because thats how they know us. Bharat is name given by us in our language.

India has many names because it's the oldest civilisation and oldest democracy in the world, so naturally it has moved on with time. Namaskar in Hindi, good day in Australian, the difference is the language..

Well you cant imagine an english person saying the indian word in the indian accent, so they change it according to what their accent is best with. I think the official name is Hindustan or hind
