The Issue

"Reclaiming Our Identity: Let's Rename India to Bharat"

 Who is impacted?

Millions of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living across the globe are inspired by the idea of embracing the name "Bharat" as our nation's identity, a name deeply rooted in our rich history, culture, and heritage. This initiative aims to foster a stronger connection with our roots and celebrate our shared heritage.

What is at stake?

What is at stake is the recognition of our true identity as Bharat. By retaining the name "India," we perpetuate a foreign narrative that diminishes the significance of our heritage. Renaming our nation to Bharat would symbolize a powerful reclamation of our identity, rooted in millennia of history and culture. It would restore our pride and honor as we reestablish ourselves as Bharatiyas, guardians of an ancient civilization, culture, and way of life.

Staying the same would mean the continuation of a name that does not fully represent the essence of our nation. It would mean that future generations of NRIs would continue to bear a name that lacks the cultural and historical weight that Bharat carries. This moment is not merely about a name change; it's about reaffirming our identity, reconnecting with our roots, and strengthening our collective spirit.

Why is now the time to act?

Now, more than ever, is the time to act and petition for the change of our nation's name to Bharat. The Government of India has shown us this path and we should walk on it with urgency and pride. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is essential that we project an accurate representation of our heritage and culture. The importance of immediate action cannot be overstated.

This campaign has been initiated by Shri Manan bhai Raval, the Founder of Bharat Media LLC, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. In 2019, Shri Manan bhai Raval led the way by naming his companies and NGO after "Bharat." These include Bharat Media LLC and its three verticals - Bharat FM(https://bharatfm.com), Bharat News, Bharat TV; Bharat Technologies LLC; and Bharat Ekta Sangh - NGO. Shri Manan bhai Raval's visionary commitment to embracing our true identity has set an inspiring precedent for all of us.

By uniting as NRIs under the banner of this campaign, we can send a powerful message to our fellow countrymen and the government of India. We must seize this moment to advocate for the restoration of our true identity as Bharat. The time to act is now, as it will not only resonate with our generation but also leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. Let us come together, sign this petition, and be the catalyst for a historic transformation that reaffirms our roots, our heritage, and our pride as Bharatiyas. Together, we can make "Bharat" the name that truly represents the heart and soul of our nation.
