Britain renamed Bharat to India when it was colonized, and the name is a symbol of colonial slavery.

    come on lets be honest, Modi doesn’t give a shit about colonialism despite his rhetoric and is perfectly willing to sell off his country to British capitalists if it helps his cronies. He has in past equated the medieval India (when India was considered ‘prosperous’) to the British era) because Muslims.This is just a petty move against the opposition. Also it is to be noted that Sanskrit isn’t the only language in India, its one of the most diverse countries on Earth and southern states see this as an ‘imposition’ of Hindi Northern India.
