what is official name or conditional name of bharat ??
Answers
Explanation:
The Republic of India has some principal short names in official Hindi and English usage, each of which is historically significant, "India", "Hind" and "Bharat" or "Bharatvarsh".[1][2][3] A fourth name, "Hindustan",[4][5][6] is sometimes an unofficial alternative name for the region when Indians speak among themselves or about the religion today known as Hinduism.[7] Meluhha or Melukhkha is the oldest known name for India, associated with Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), mentioned in the Sumerian and Akkadian text since c. 2334 BCE – 2154 BCE (possibly as earlier as 4500 BCE).[8][9][10][11]
"Bhārät", the name for India in several Indian languages, is variously said to be derived from the name of either Dushyanta's son Bharata or Rishabha's son Bharata.[12] Initially Bharata referred only to the western part of the Gangetic Valley in North India, but was later more broadly applied to the Indian subcontinent and the region of Greater India, as was the name "India". Today it refers to the contemporary Republic of India. The name "India" is originally derived from the name of the river Sindhu (Indus River) and has been in use in Persian and Greek since Herodotus (5th century BCE). The term appeared in Arabic and Old English as early the 9th century and reemerged in Modern English in the 17th century,[citation needed] although the term has been always utilised by the Islamic rule in India.[13] According to Manusmṛti,[14] India is known as Āryāvarta (Sanskrit: आर्यावर्त, abode of the Vedic people).[15]
