Answer 2

India is also known as Bharat Varsha.

Explanation:

• India is a name coined by the Greek, the official name of India recognised by our Constitution is Bharat Varsha.

• The name Bharat may relate to a theological figure in the Hindu scriptures who is the ‘Legendary Emperor of Ancient India’. Raja Bharat was the son of Dushyant and Shakuntala.

• It could also refer to the unconquerable King Sudasa of the Bharat Tribe.  

• The ‘Sanskrit word’ Bharata is derived from the Sanskrit root word bhr- which means “to bear or to carry”.

• The term also means “one who is engaged in search for Knowledge”. "Bhaa" means Light; "Ra-ta" means ‘being engaged in or in search of’.  

• So, Bharat Varsh is the land of people engaged in assimilating or in search of Knowledge or Light.
