Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany
jjpamsterdam@feddit.org 5 days agoI always thought that India uses both Bharat and India with English still an official language. Has the current government made the switch to only using Bharat?

India is the official name. I think Bharat or Hindustan is commonly used tho as folks speak in their local languages instead of English typically. I could be wrong. Worth noting that Hindustan would basically translate to “India” or Land of the Indus River.

Not that it matters but I would take India or Bharat over Hindustan any day. I get that it’d be in line with naming conventions in the area, but it just sounds so silly. XD
