BJP leader demands removal of 'India' from constitution

BJP leader Naresh Bansal on Friday sought to replace ‘India That Is Bharat’ from the constitution, asking it to replace with ‘Bharat’. He said that the term ‘India’ should be replaced with ‘Bharat’ in Article 1 of the constitution. 

During the Rajya Sabha proceeding, Bansal said, “The British changed Bharat’s name to India. Under Article 1, the Constitution states, “India, that is Bharat”. Our country has been known by the name ‘Bharat’ for thousands of years… it is this country’s ancient name and is found in ancient Sanskrit texts. The name ‘India’ was given by the colonial Raj and is thus a symbol of slavery. The name India should be removed from the contrition.
