  • Regarding the President’s address, The President of india has again intensified the debate whether the name
  • of the country should be india or Bharat. Actually, this dispute has been going on for a long time as to what
  • should be the name of the country. Sambh driver Mohan Bhagwat had also said a burden that people should
  • call the country as Bharat instead of India. And now this controversy has been increased further by writing to
  • the President of india on the invitation for the dinner of the G-20 summit. However, today we are not going
  • to tell you about this dispute, but about whether India's name was Jambudweep.
  • What is the story of Jambudweep?
  • India is called Jambudweep on the basis of Chapter 2 of vishnu Purana. Actually, Jambu means blackberry.
  • In chapter 2 of vishnu Purana, it is said that Jambu tree used to bear fruits as big as elephants and when they
  • ripened and fell on the top of the mountains, a river was formed from their juice. The area situated on the
  • banks of the same river was called Jambudweep.
  • Why was india called Hindustan?
  • India's name is also Hindustan. Many people address the country as Hindustan. Actually, this name is seen
  • as a sign of Gangajamani Tehzeeb. It is said that when Turks and Iranians came here during the Middle
  • Ages, they called the people of Indus Valley Hindu instead of Indus. This is because he used to pronounce S
  • as H. Later, it was from here that the people who settled on the banks of the indus river started being called
  • Hindus. At the same time, many stories are popular about india and India. However, this is not the case only
  • with india, but there are many countries around the world which have two or more names.
