> > The largest political, religious and military entity in South Asia is

> > On becoming a republic in 1950, India chose for itself the Hindi

> > post-colonial world (Siam to Thailand, Ceylon to Sri Lanka, Rhodesia
> > to Zimbabwe, Nyasaland to Malawi, Burma to Myanmar). India smacks of
> > colonialism, a name foisted upon its unwilling inhabitants. The
> > change to Bharata, a name by which the Bhartiyas have always known
> > their land will change this, and greatly change the attitude of the
> > global community in a more positive direction. Combined with the
> > revival of Sanskrit as a national language, this will enhance its
> > prestige among the international community. The example of Israel
