A small but striking detail from the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi has attracted attention, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s country placard prominently displaying “Bharat” instead of “India” as leaders of the expanded BRICS grouping gathered at Bharat Mandapam, a choice that is entirely valid under the Indian Constitution, whose Article 1 officially recognises the country as “India, that is Bharat”, and while both names continue to have constitutional and official standing, the use of “Bharat” at a major international summit once again places the country’s indigenous name in the global spotlight, particularly as leaders from across the expanded BRICS bloc come together in the Indian capital for discussions on strengthening cooperation and shaping the grouping’s future.
