Why is india called india and not bharat?

  • 1

India is called “India” due to the Greek word “Indos,” derived from the River Indus. Foreign influences popularized “India,” while “Bharat,” from ancient Sanskrit texts, reflects indigenous heritage.

      The name “India” originates from the Greek term “Indos,” meaning the River Indus, which ancient Greeks used to describe the land beyond the Indus River. Foreign travelers and rulers widely adopted “India” over time, solidifying its international recognition. Meanwhile, “Bharat” has roots in Sanskrit texts like the Rigveda, where “Bharat” refers to a group of ancient tribes. “Bharat” highlights India’s indigenous culture and heritage, while “India” became more recognized globally, particularly under British colonial rule.
