During the summit in New Delhi, Bharat was written instead of INDIA on the nameplate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After this, the debate intensified on social media whether India is going to be renamed as Bharat and if it happens, what will be its advantages and disadvantages. The name India first appeared officially when the government sent G20 invitations in the name of the President of India instead of the President of India. Recently, this discussion had subsided a bit but as soon as the news related to NCERT books started appearing in the media reports, once again this spark created a fire.
