India Create Global Uproar As Prime Minister Modi Replaces India With "Bharat" by Uptownerd(op): 7:08pm On Sep 05, 2023

Indian government causes global uproar as Prime Minister Modi replaces "India" with the Sanskrit word "Bharat" in dinner invitations sent to guests attending this week’s G-20 summit.

On the other hand, this could be a ploy to direct global attention to the G-20 summit following the massive successes recorded by BRICS. Also, with both Russia and China declining interest in the summit, this is a good way to divert attention.

Perhaps it has a political under tone and not because they want a change required of the people.

Its high time we started working toward a second name for Nigeria and also a Uniting singular language apart from English.

Our universities churn out Linguists every year and we've not been working towards a unifying language for the country
