India or Bharat

Submitted by brij_agrwl on

India and Bharat.. the two names our country.. its an old discussion.. 

I don't mind if our country is called by two names in two different language.. 

Obviously "Bharat" is the older name.. and english name "India" came very late.. We may co-related "India" with "Indus" or "Indoi" or "Sindhu". but is there a solid document why and how we got this name. I did not find one... 

Or its the fact that Britishers gave us the name... and its related to "Adiwasi" as being called in USA like "West-Indian", "Red-Indian", "American-Indian".
