Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany
Jilanico@lemmy.world 4 days agoIndia 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
