The country’s name in Hindi (which is a co-official language with English) is Bharat. This is from the Sanskrit name Bharata for the land that is now South Asia. Hindi as a highly simplified great-granddaughter of Sanskrit (via Prakrit, then merging with Farsi and Arabic to form Hindustani then splitting with Urdu..) took the same word for the land.
In English it is India, which is derived from Hindu (as the Persians called it) which is derived from Indu/Sindhu. Hindu-”Stan” is a Persian suffix.
We’re not the only countries with different names in the native language(s) and different ones in EngLISH ..
