The court had said that the concerned ministries can consider it. Now the petitioner has filed a petition in the High Court. They demand that the officers decide on their memorandum.What is the plea of the petitioner?The petition said, 'The petitioner currently has no option but to knock the door of this court through the petition, as there is no update from the defendants about any decision taken on the petitioner's memorandum. ' The petitioner argues that the name 'India' does not represent the culture and traditions of the country. By converting this name to 'India', citizens will get rid of 'colonial burden'.

The debate took place on Article 1 of the then draft Constitution. It has been said in the petition that even at that time there was a demand for the name of the country to be named India or Hindustan. The petition said, "However, the time has come to recognize its original and authentic name i.e. India, especially when the names of our cities have been changed to an identity in accordance with Indian ethos."The petitioner believes that the name of many cities has been changed to Indian culture, similarly the name of the country should also be changed. This change will show the real identity of the country. [ad_2]
