इंडिया के 3 नाम में भारत ही एक ऐसा नाम है जिसे सब हिंदुस्तानी प्यार करते है।

मैं @narendramodi जी, @myogiadityanath जी से अपील करना चाहता हूँ कि आधिकारिक रूप से हिंदी, इंगलिश, उर्दू हर तरह से भारत का नाम सिर्फ "भारत" कर दिया जाए जिससे हिन्दुस्तान की तरह इंडिया अनौपचारिक हो जाए।

On 18 September 1949, the Constituent Assembly deliberated upon various names for the yet to be born Indian nation – ‘Bharat’, ‘Hindustan’, ‘Hind’, ‘Bharatbhumi’, ‘Bharatvarsh’. Ultimately, Article1(1) of the Constitution of India became the official and the only provision on the

Naming of the nation, stating

“India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.” Thus, the Constitution equates ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’, in meaning, language being the only technical differentiator. But what of their connotations, the feelings they ignite within Indian citizens?

And what of ‘Hindustan’, does it still exist?

Bharat

‘Bharat’ comes from Sanskrit and is the most ancient term of the three, with references in the Hindu Puranas and the Mahabharata to ‘Bharatvarsa’ and with a reference to a Bharata tribe in the Rigveda.

The Puranas describe ‘Bharat’ as a geographical entity between the Himalayas in the north and the seas in the South, politically divided into various smaller territories, but yet referred to together. The ‘Bharatvarsa’ of the Puranas.

Thus, contained the same plurality in caste, religion, culture, language and lifestyle, as the ‘Bharat’ of today. This unity in diversity brings to mind the most beautiful interpretation of Bharat that I came across. It derives itself from the name of the dance form Bharatnathyam

‘Bharatnathyam’ – ‘Bha’ from Bhavam or expression, ‘Ra’ from Ragam or melody, and ‘Ta’ from Thalam or rhythm. This interpretation renders a beautiful imagery of harmonious diversity, offering a glimpse of what ‘Bharatvarsa’ might have meant to people in ancient times.

At the same time, its origin from Hindu texts and Sanskrit, also give ‘Bharat’ a religious significance for Hindus. ‘Bharat’ is a nation where Hindus feel some sense of identification and belonging. This can be inferred from the importance of slogans like ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’

‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ by the Hindus participating in the freedom struggle.
Deliberation in the Constituent Assembly took place, on whether Bharat should precede India, in the form – “Bharat, or in the English language, India…”

In recent years, public interest litigation have been filed in favour of ‘Bharat’ being adopted as the only official name of ‘India’, with the latter being seen as a colonial hand-me-down. Thus today, when

Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali markets itself as Made in 'Bharat’, not 'India'

It makes Very clear that while the Constitution may technically equate ‘Bharat’ with ‘India’ in meaning, the two continue to have different connotations for a lot of ‘Bharatvasis’, who may not relate to ‘India’ as much to ‘Bharat’.

India got its name 'Bharat' from Bharata a legendary emperor of India,son of King Dushyanta of Hastinapur and Queen Shakuntala.Bharata had conquered all of Greater India(including present day India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal & Bangladesh) and united it into to a single entity.

The whole region was than named after him as Bharatvarsha(where varsha means part of earth).
A reference to it is in Vishnu Purana:
ततश्च भारतं वर्षमेतल्लोकेषुगीयते
भरताय यत: पित्रा दत्तं प्रतिष्ठिता वनम (विष्णु पुराण, २,१,३२)

This country is known as Bharatavarsha since the times the father entrusted the kingdom to the son Bharata and he himself went to the forest for ascetic practices—Vishnu Purana (2,1,32)

उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् ।
वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संततिः ।।

The country (varṣam) that lies north of the ocean and south of the snowy mountains is called Bhāratam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata.

It is also said that until the death of last emperor of Bharata dynasty,Maharaja parikshit, the known world was known as Bharatvarsha.
