    This is extremely bad because BJP is saffronizing India by changing all Islamic monarchs named roads and cities to fascist leaders of 1930s. Changing the official name of India to "bharat" Is an anti Dravidian policy because that's not how South India linked itself to ancient India . I hope people from the Western countries don't endorse any fascist proposition .

      Yeah i assumed it was driven by this kind of ethno-religious nationalist motivation. It's a populist move to score some cheap points with their base. But if the international community decides to just go along with it there is little anyone can do about it. And right now everyone is trying to court India to join their side, the US want to use them against China and China+Russia want them more solidly integrated into BRICS. So humoring them on a symbolic name change is a very low cost way to suck up to the Indian government.

        International community didn't do anything when Turkey changed it's name and neither it can do anything if India endorses the name "Bharat" And erases the name India from its Constitution, neither you could do anything when Christian and Muslim minorities were killed in Manipur and in various regions of India. Being a communist i cannot say I support the cause of BJP And co and neither should anyone be neutral to this. Thats all it matters
