A giant screen displays India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the International Media Centre, as he sits behind the country tag that reads"Bharat"//Reuterspix: G20 host Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nameplate read “Bharat,“ the Sanskrit or Hindi title of the South Asian country, rather than India, as he opened the G-20 summit in New Delhi on Saturday.
Both terms, ‘Bharat’ and ‘India,‘ are officially used in the nation of 1.4 billion people. However, a row erupted on the issue this week when dinner invitations for the Group of 20 summit referred to Droupadi Murmu as the ‘President of Bharat’ instead of the President of India.
