Answer 1

As you said, there were 18 national languages. It is hard for a country to unite when there are 18 different languages spoken throughout it. Since it had formerly been a British colony and English was already spoken there, it makes sense to keep that as the language, since it is able to unite the whole country, as most people in the country know English, and do not know all 18 of the other languages.

As far as changing the name, that happens when a new government takes control. Just look at Thailand, which used to be Myanmar. And all the new little countries that spun out of the Soviet Union. And the Czech Republic and Slovakia, when the whole country split.

Answer 2

Have you ever thought why आलू is called potato in English. Its because every thing is called differently in another language. Same goes with India. When you write in English you write India. and when you write in Hindi you write भारत. You might not be knowing that every country has a different name in different languages. For example Spain is called Espan~a in Spanish or Italy is called Italia. English is not our language so if they prefered to call India its not our problem. Don't we call अन्ग्रेजी instead of English? I dont see any problem in calling our country as India in English. If you call इन्डिया instead of भारत, then might not be correct.

Answer 3

the name "India" is not really a foreign name. "India" is derived from the name of the river Indus. Britishers used to came the land south to Indus as India because in ancient times the people who came from north-west Asia for trade purposes called India as Sindhi because of Indus's local name as sindhu. to make the pronunciation easier the Britishers started callling it as India.
this doesn't mean that we are slaves to them. what matters is what it means or on what it's based on and not on who gave us this name. Britishers too keep Indian names for streets in England to honour our freedom fighters. this in a way symbolises tolerance and world unity.

Answer 4

No, the name India roots back to Hindu religion and in turn represents River Indus along which one of the earliest civilzations of the world originated. Man name "INDIA" is our identity itself.....

Answer 5

Well... Bangalore is now Bengaluru, Pondicherry became Pudducherry, Banaras became Varanasi long time back, Bombay is now Mumbai....... I guess we are getting there. It won't be long before India becomes Bharat
