India, Bharat, Hindustan: Where Do The Names Come From? Vantage on Firstpost | 4K

Did you know that India goes by many names, like Bharat, Hindustan, Tenjiku, Jambudvipa and many more. While India and Bharat are the most popular names worldwide, how did the names originate? The name India is estimated to have originally originated from the term Sindhu, which means river in Sanskrit. When the Persian empire expanded and reached the Indus valley, they took the name Sindhu and changed it to Hindus. Then the Greeks made it Hindos, and the Latins changed it to India. However, before India become popular, the region was popularly known as Bharat. Bharata is mentioned in the ancient Hindu literature scripts of Rig Veda. Even the Hindu epic, Mahabharata mentions Bharat. When the nation gained independence from British rule, it was codified in the constitution that the nation would be called India, that is Bharat. However, apart from India and Bharat the nation has also enjoyed different names handed down by Jews, Chinese and Japanese scholars. Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.
