This is the Hindu nationalists being Hindu nationalists, they wanted to change it back for a while now.
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.
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.
