As the G20 Summit approaches, China has waded into the India vs. Bharat nomenclature debate. In an article, the Chinese state-controlled media outlet, Global Times, argued that India should prioritise more significant issues over the naming controversy. The article suggests that India aims to leverage the summit to enhance its international influence but expresses reservations about India's 'Make in India' initiative and its actions against Chinese companies. Furthermore, the article proposes that India must embark on 'revolutionary reform' to achieve 'revolutionary development.' It also highlights the ongoing political debate surrounding the use of 'President of Bharat' rather than the traditional 'President of India' title. Notably, G20 dinner invitations were dispatched under the name 'President of Bharat' on behalf of President Droupadi Murmu.

    Am I the only one who didn’t know they were considering a name change?

    And as much as I hate to agree, China in this case is right. What’s a name change going to do other than be a distraction when they have so many other problems?

    I’m mostly concerned that every Tom Dick and Harry political party is going to change their country name back and forth whenever power is exchanged. Imagine the chaos

    … Just imagine what trump would do.
