Question

What do you know about the bharatvarsha in 50 words

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the scriptural description of the Brahmand, the entire Earth is called BHARATVARSHA but particularly, the area of the continent that lies South of the Himalayas is called BHARATVARSHA. It is also called ARYAVARTA. The inhabitants of Aryavarta are called Aryans as referred in the Rig Veda.

Thus, the words Bharatiya or Aryans were both used for the inhabitants of Bharatvarsha or Aryavarta. Persians used to call Hindu for the Sindhu river and thus, Hindustan came into being. The English called the river Sindhu, Indus and thus the English name for HINDUSTAN became INDIA.
