NO, It is no INSULT to India at all. Present regime even has problem using the term "INDIA" for the country, if you observe they are representing it in political / non-political spaces as "Bharat" at least inside India. They don't have guts doing the same in international platform. For Indians living outside a very Rosy picture of India is portrayed. People living in India know that, instead of REAL WORK that is supposed to happen for prosperity of country & it's people, they are just managing the show with propoganda machine & media. India will go into deep pits ( Paathaalam ) as long as this regime continues.

...Guts? I genuinely don't know what field you're lobbing this from, but insinuating that referring to India as Bharat is for whatever reason a bad thing is asinine to me. This was a common name used in India even back in the pre-2009 days when I used to live there.

If you want to critique the anti-Muslim sentiment, democratic backsliding, or using nationalism as a veneer for corruption-- then I would have taken you seriously. AS it is though, even if it may not be rosy, on paper India is doing quite well.

You can keep dreaming. I actually lived under the previous administration where there were power cuts every day for about 6-9 hours in summer.

Better keep your delusional politics to reddit.

Just to rub it in. Compared to the regime before 2014 where Prime Minister used to report to a foreign lady. I am pretty happy with the where the country is going.
