I don't think this has got anything to do with Hindu nationalism.

Indian constitution already mentions "India, that is Bharat".

India was already known by its two other names, Bharat and Hindustan.

It literally is...

The BJP is all about far right Hindu nationalism, and the minor parties have unified under the acronym I.N.D.I.A.

So now the BJP is trying to change India's name.

Because they do t care about fixing any of the actual problems, they just want to maintain control.

Also, the first word in BJP is literally Bharat.

Trash religious nationalists.

No, it's Hindu nationalism, congress didn't care about it, and like you said it has 2 other names.

But the BJP specifically (their name literally starts with Bharat) wants to push towards the ancient traditional sanskrit version of Hindu culture.

As a secular Hindu, this is moronic nationalism.
