Ultimately, however, I do see the point of having the freedom to choose ones own name, instead of relying on terms given by others no matter however much Vedic in origin or not.
So, the focal point is this word, "Indu". Why should we accept it?
Why should we, of all Devatā-s in our pantheon, relate ourselves, for the denomination, to Indra only?
Where is the evidence, if there at all, that our Rishis called themselves as Indu-s?
However, we know that we have always used BhArata and BhArati for self-identity.
But, who is this BhArata and this BhArati?
Well, there have been illustrious kings, chakravartins, going by that name. There was a Vedic tribe, a very prominent one, also of name BhArata.
But ultimately it is our spirituality, our worldview, that gives us a meaningful insight into the meaning of these two words.
Though I have touched on this earlier, briefly, I will rather avoid dwelling on it right now. Except, emphasising on that there is a point where BhArata meets BhArati. That point is to be understood (again, IMO) as Indu.
In Indu, both BhArata and BhArati are simultaneously present.
Then, it might be asked here: why the hell we don't remember all this?
Because, this was a real, long, long time ago.
Another hint that I will leave here is, the whole world was dominated and in a way controlled by Aryan armies from India. India, therefore, when seen through the eyes of the world, was an icon, murthy, of Lord Indra.
On my side, I will confess here:
1) I am not being an apologetic for the Hindu word. I am a free person.
2) There is a duplication in having both Hindu and Indian, when both mean the same Indu thing. Rather, I have slightly inclined on the side of doing away with Hindu altogether and keeping only Indian (and BhAratiya in Sanskrit). So there is no question of being apologetic or anything.
3) There could be an opposition from anti-Vedic quarters, as I see, regarding my readings. Well, I have no sympathies with them. And no, not a chance of "Sanatana Dharma", for me.
Shri Ram.
