For the past few decades, our country has been recognized as India or the Republic of India by everyone. However, the ongoing developments hint that we might get away with the name of India and might get a new name of Bharat. Going by the intense criticism of the opposition parties, we have to believe this.
Since yesterday, a debate has been going on about the proposal. Not just the common people but even the celebrities are also waging into the debate and giving their views. There is a mixed reaction to this proposal. A few celebrities are supporting the proposal and a few others question what is the need to do so.
Now none other than maverick director Ram Gopal Varma waged into this and gave his opinion. Amid the debate of India possibly becoming Bharat, Ram Gopal Varma jokingly asked if Indiana Jones should be made Bharatna Jones. He shared a picture of the Indiana Jones poster with Bharatna written on it.
With a noted director like RGV waging into the debate, the issue caught everyone’s attention and netizens are also joining the issue and giving their views. His post already received good responses from the netizens and managed to get their attention. When so much has been going on about the issue, no official word has come from the government yet.
The controversy started with the guests of the G20 Summit getting invitations in the name of the President of Bharat and not the President of India. It is also said that the Center used the Bharat word for the recent BRICS summit as well.
