Controversy queen Kangana Ranaut wants India’s name to be changed

Clarifying her views over it, the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ star claimed the name 'India' was given to her nation by Britishers.

In her note, Kangana has also explained why she is demanding that the name should be changed back to Bharat. 

She shared two posts in her Instagram story where she talked about the meaning of Bharat and compared it with India, the name given by Britishers which means east of Indus River. 

Taking to her Instagram stories, Kangana shared a screenshot of her post on the Koo app and wrote, "India can only rise if it’s rooted in its ancient spirituality and wisdom, that is the soul of our great civilisation. World will look up to us and we will emerge as a world leader if we go higher in urban growth but not be a cheap copy of western world and remain deeply rooted in Vedas, Geeta and Yoga, can we please change this slave name India back to Bharat." 

She also followed it up with another post where she explained the meaning of the word Bharat and claimed that it is made up of three Sanskrit words. She wrote, "British gave us slave name India... which literally means east of Indus River. Really would you call a child small nose or second born or worse C section. What kind of a name is this? So rudimentary. Let me tell you meaning of Bharat. It's made of three Sanskrit words BH (bhav), Ra (rag), ta (tal). Yes that's who we were before we were enslaved, most culturally and aesthetically evolved civilisation. Every name has a vibration and British knew this they not only gave new names to places but even to people and important monuments. We must regain our lost glory, let's start with the name Bharat." 

She added, "Every name has a vibration and the British knew this they not only gave new names to places but even to people and important monuments. We must regain our lost glory, let’s start with the name Bharat."
