Lots of countries could be renamed for English speakers to something closer to the actual name.

E.g., we just couldn't deal with "Danmark"? And why don't we call it Italia, and the capital Roma? Did that REALLY need to be "anglicized"? And what's so hard about "Nippon"—why name it after a Chinese word? I don't see what's gained by changing these names to Denmark, Italy, and Japan.

What language is "Bharat" though? India has 121 languages, 22 officially recognized, and over 19,500 dialects. Which one is "Bharat", and how'd it win out over all the others?

What language is "Bharat" though? India has 121 languages, 22 officially recognized, and over 19,500 dialects. So, how'd they pick "Bharat?"
