Many people in our country have identity cards. These cards all say “Government of India” on them. If the country’s name changes, the cards need to keep saying “Government of India.” Otherwise, using these cards might become a problem. People would have to go to government offices again and update them.
Controversy Over India’s Name Change
There’s talk that the central government, led by Narendra Modi, might change our country’s name. This idea started because in a G20 summit invitation, our country was called “Bharat” instead of “India.” Also, there was an issue with the title “The President of India” being used instead of “The President of India” for President Draupadi Murmu. There are strong rumors that the government will discuss changing India’s name in a special Parliament session.
Political Questions Surrounding Name Change
People on social media wonder if this name change is political. Some think it’s because the opposition alliance is named “India.” Changing India’s name would mean people need new identity cards. Many are worried about this, as they remember long lines during demonetization. Some criticize the government for causing confusion before elections.
Impact on Various Cards and Currency
People in our country have different identity cards for various purposes, like Aadhaar, PAN, passports, and driving licenses. All these cards say “Government of India.” If the country’s name changes, they need updating, or they might not work. People might need to visit government offices again. There’s also concern that currency notes with “Reserve Bank of India” might need to change.
One Nation-One Election and Political Speculation
Recently, there was talk about “One Nation-One Election,” and some speculate the BJP is planning early elections. Now, the issue of changing India’s name has come up. It’s unclear what the BJP government plans. If they bring a bill to change the country’s name to Parliament, it might pass easily due to their majority. To clear people’s doubts, BJP leaders should provide clarity on this matter.
