The name "India" is an English invention just like the names "Madras", "Calcutta" or "Bombay". Bharat, Bharatham in Tamil, is the name we use in our languages.
Why do the people who changed Madras to Chennai and Calcutta to Kolkata, changes I fully support, object to Bharat?
I gather Greg Hands has lawyered up with those famous lovers of free speech at Schillings. I am patiently waiting for the threatening letter he was so quick to send to those who are not lawyers.
