SC called upon to rename India as Bharat/Hindustan; sends it to Centre

A bench of CJI S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and Hrishikesh Roy asked how the court could change the name from India to Bharat/Hindustan and pointed out that Article 1 of the Constitution provides that India would also be known as Bharat. But petitioner Namah's counsel Raj Kishor Choudhary said 'India' was of Greek origin, and hence must be discarded.
