Y india have three names?

Question

As v see that the rest country has single name ...

Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand the question.  If you are referring to people, most North Americans have three names as well.  We have a first name that we commonly go by, a middle name and our family name.

Answer 2

India, Bharat, Hindustan....

Answer 3

The three different names are India,Bharata(named after King Bharata) and Hindustan (The Land of Hindus).

The Republic of India has three principal short names, in both official and popular English usage, each of which is historically significant. All three originally designated a single entity comprising all the modern nations of the Indian subcontinent. These names are India, Bharat (named after King Bharata) and Hindustan (The Land of Hindus). The first Article of the Constitution of India states that "India, that is Bharat, shall be a union of states." Thus, India and Bharat are equally official short names for the Republic of India, while Hindustan is used by Muslim nationals and is mostly used in historical contexts (especially British India). Indians commonly refer to their country as Bharat, Hindustan or India depending on the context and language of conversation.

In a few Hindu texts such as the Manu Smriti and a few early Buddhist texts, India is known as 'Aryadesh.' North India is mentioned as Aryaavarta in the Manu Smriti. So 'Arya' is used for members of the Arya Dharma (now called Hindu Dharma) and 'Aryaa' is a designation for the Aryan tribe.

Aryadesa (or Aryadesha) or Arya Nadu (or Ariya Nadu) are names that have been used by scholars to describe India.

Aryadesh was used by the Chinese traveler to India, I-Tsing who used the term to refer to all of India.

Tamil poet freedom fighter Bharathi called India Arya Nadu in his poetry. Arya means noble and "desa" or "nadu" mean land.

Answer 4

What three names? Ind I A? If you mean that India has different names in different languages, many countries do.

Answer 5

no reason can be given why a country has more than one name. A person may also have more than one name. It depends on by how many names people start to call you. Many languages may have different names for a country. If you want to know why India has only three names, not more, then start calling it in your own way. you'll find one more name.

Foreigners gave our country the name INDIA, because Greeks, Persians called us that.Persians called us that because we lived on the side of INDUS river.

Bharat is given because of the great king Bharata, who was a wise saint, and a self -realized man.

Hindustan: A historical region of India considered at various times to include only the upper Ganges River plateau or all of northern India from the Himalaya Mountains to the Deccan Plateau and from the Punjab to Assam. The term has also been applied to the entire Indian subcontinent.

Answer 14

India has so many names becoz it's a country having a history more than 5000 years old. Over the period, significant development happened and accordingly, the land got different names.

To start with, Bharat or Bharatvarsha: it's named after the King Bharata. He was the first king to conquer all of Greater India, uniting it into a single entity which was named after him as Bharātavarsa.

Then India : The term is derived from the name of the Sindhu (Indus River) and has been in use in Greek since Plutarchus[1] (1st century AD). The term appears in Old English in the 9th century, and again in Modern English since the 17th century.

Lastly Hindustaan :

Hindustan is used by the masses of India and by Pakistanis and other Muslim nationals and is mostly used in historical contexts (especially British India).
