If you have been following Kangana Ranaut on social media, you would know that the woman is never afraid of speaking her mind. From standing up to bullies in the entertainment industry to voicing her opinions out loud, she never minces her words.
Recently, Kangana suggested addressing the country as ‘Bharat’ instead of ‘India’ as she considers it to be a “slave name”, reports Hindustan Times. She urged the country to not be a “cheap copy” of the western world.
“India can only rise if it’s rooted in its ancient spirituality and wisdom, that is the soul of our great civilisation. The world will look up to us and we will emerge as a world leader if we go higher in urban growth but not be a cheap copy of the western world and remain deeply rooted in Vedas, Geeta and Yoga, can we please change this slave name India back to Bharat.”
She went on to add:
“British gave us a slave name ‘India’…which literally means east of Indus River. Really, would you call a child small nose or second-born or worse C-section? What kind of a name is this? So rudimentary. Let me tell you what the meaning of Bharat is. It’s made of three Sanskrit words BH (bhav), Ra (rag), ta (tal). Yes, that’s who we were before we were enslaved, the most culturally and aesthetically evolved civilisation. Every name has a vibration and the British knew this they not only gave new names to places but even to people and important monuments. We must regain our lost glory, let’s start with the name Bharat.”
