"Dream - In the midst of his tenure as the chairman of the G20 presidency, there are speculations regarding India. This country of Bollywood actors is widely rumored to change its name. The circulating information mentions that India, currently led by PM Narendra Modi, will change its name to 'Bharat'."

This speculation arose during a special session of Parliament at the end of this month. However, changing the name of a country turns out to be more than just replacing letters. There is a significant cost that needs to be incurred for this grand plan. According to the Economic Times, several models are suggested for this change.

According to its model, the average marketing cost for large companies is around 6 percent of their total revenue, while rebranding costs can reach 10 percent of the overall marketing budget. India's total revenue income itself reached Rs23.84 lakh crore in the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023.

India is next in line after several countries that have changed their names to free themselves from their colonial heritage. For example, Sri Lanka changed its name from Ceylon in 2011, and Thailand changed its name from Siam.

There was even a commotion after it was reported that the Rashtrapati Bhavan had sent invitations for the G20 dinner on September 9 on behalf of 'President Bharat' instead of 'President India'. Some reports state that on September 18, the Center will officially announce the name change.

A war of words also occurred between opposition parties and BJP with several leaders from the ruling party, including Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, who supported the name change.
