Since morning, India has been the talk of the town ever since the rumours of renaming its name emerged. A while back, Amitabh Bachchan had taken to social media to react to the same indirectly and now it’s Kangana Ranaut who has credited her old statement of India being called Bharat. Sometime back, the Queen actress took to Twitter to re-share her old statement while reacting to India being renamed as Bharat.

She re-shared a news article of her old statement and wrote in the caption, “And some call it black magic …. It’s simply Grey matter honey. Congratulations to everyone!! Freed from a slave name … Jai Bharat.” Later reacting to a user’s Tweet about loving Bharat as much as Hindustan, Kangana Ranaut wrote in a long Tweet, “We are Bhartiya not Indians”.

Kangana Ranaut wrote in the next Tweet, “What is there to love in this name? First of all they couldn’t pronounce ‘Sindhu’ toh usko bigad ke ‘ Indus’ kar diya. Phir kabhi Hindos kabhi Indos kuch bhi gol mol karke India bana diya. From the time of Mahabharata, all the kingdoms who participated in the Great War of Kurukshetra came under one continent called Bharat so why were they calling us Indu Sindu? Also the name Bharat is so meaningful, what is the meaning of India? I know they called Red Indians that because in olden English Indian simply meant a slave, they named us Indians because that was our new identity given to us by British. Even in olden days dictionary Indian’s meaning was mentioned as slave they recently changed it. Also it’s not our name we are Bhartiya not Indians.”
