RSS national general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale spoke at the launch of the book Vimarsh Bharat Ka. He questioned why institutions such as the Reserve Bank of India or the Constitution should still carry the English name. The India vs Bharat row began after the opposition parties, which formed the INDIA bloc against the BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, questioned the choice of name. He cited examples of organisations like Popular Front of India and said they also use India in their names. “Desh ka naam Bharat hai, toh Bharat hi bolo. India toh angrezi naam hai,\” he said. ‘Bharat will never stand for Dadagiri (one up-manship), or to destroy other countries. Bharat will always stand for global good. But, before that, we have to stay united and lead by example,\” he told the gathering.“A new wave must sweep across the nation, one that does not diminish others or demean other nations but reclaims our own identity,\” said the RSS general secretary.
