India is the seventh
largest country in the world. The countrys official name, India is
derived from the Old Persian version of Sindhu, the historic local
appellation for the river Indus. The Constitution of India and general
usage also recognizes Bharat, which is derived from the Sanskrit name
of an ancient Hindu king, whose story is to be found in the
Mahabharata, as an official name of equal status. A third name,
Hindustan, or land of the Hindus in Persian, was used from Mughal
times onwards, though its contemporary use is unevenly applied due to
domestic disputes over how representative it is as a national
signifier.
