India transformed into Bharat for Bharatiyas

Contrary to the efforts of the Sino-Wahhabi lobby, the India-US relationship has emerged stronger as a consequence of the Modi visit.

In the mind of any Japanese, his or her country will be known as Nippon, not Japan, which is the name used by foreigners for the country. In a similar way, to Germans among other Germans, their country would be known as Deutschland, never Germany, the name used by foreigners to identify the country. From times stretching back several millennia, our land has been known as Bharat. In more recent times, the term India came into use, and was popularised during the era of British colonial rule, which stretched over almost three centuries. Just as Bangalore or Calcutta or Bombay became global brands, so did India gain popularity worldwide as the name applied to the subcontinent. This is that part of Asia which encompasses present-day Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Bharat i.e. India. "Divide and Rule" was used across centuries to prevent the people of the Subcontinent from uniting in common purpose, the effects of such a policy are visible to this day. Every individual is a child of the Divine, and hence all of us who are in Mother Earth are brothers and sisters to each other.

All too often, persistently, every religion as taught in classrooms and in homes should unite under the common rubric of One Humanity, the call of the 2023 President of the G-20 (now G-21, with the addition of the African Union), Prime Minister Narendra Modi of Bharat i.e. India. Instead, the foundational thread of unity which underpins each faith gets ignored, getting replaced by concepts centred around exclusivity and indeed religious supremacy.
