India May Change Its Name to Bharat
In September 2023 there was much debate in India about possibly dropping the English name India in favour of Bharat. It was triggered by invitations to a G20 leaders' dinner that referred to the country's president as the "President of Bharat".
Both names are enshrined in the Constitution of India: its first article begins with the words "India, that is Bharat". The name Bharat comes from ancient Sanskrit texts and is widely used in Hindi.
The country's official name has not been changed: the name India is still used internationally, in documents and on visas. Nothing has changed for tourists, and the entry rules and e-Visa process remain the same.
