    I always thought that India uses both Bharat and India with English still an official language. Has the current government made the switch to only using Bharat?

      India is the official name. I think Bharat or Hindustan is commonly used tho as folks speak in their local languages instead of English typically. I could be wrong. Worth noting that Hindustan would basically translate to “India” or Land of the Indus River.
