What should be the priority right now? Handling the pandemic maybe? Doing something about the crisis those migrants workers are facing? The people that are dying because of coronavirus? The people who have lost their homes, their jobs due to COVID-19? The crashing economy? The locust swarms? There's way too much happening in 2020 that needs immediate attention that you know, changing the name of the country, but that's just my opinion.

Since morning, #ByeByeIndiaOnlyBharat has been trending on Twitter with people celebrating the hashtag and calling for the name of the country to be just Bharat.

This conversation is apparently happening because the Supreme Court is hearing a plea seeking direction to the Centre to amend the Constitution and change the name of the country from India to 'Bharat'. The petition has been filed by a Delhi-based man and the plea allegedly claims that the change of name will help citizens in moving past the country's colonial past and instil a sense of pride. It says, "The removal of the English name, though appears symbolic, will instil a sense of pride in our nationality, especially for the future generations. In fact, replacing India with Bharat would justify the hard-fought freedom achieved by our ancestors."

It further went on, "The nature of injury being caused to the public is the loss of identity and ethos as inheritors of the hard-won freedom from foreign rule. 

There's obviously a debate going on about the topic.

Then those will be India's problems, not Bharat's, you know? Perfect logic.

Five problem

1. Corona.
2. Economic crisis
3. Migrant labourers
4. Chinese invasion
5. High prices of petrol, LPG

One Solution

1. Change name of India to Bharat #ByeByeIndiaOnlyBharat #LPG_Petrol_Loot pic.twitter.com/5MkW5liqDx

Just let the pandemic get over?

The stupidest thing to trend #ByeByeIndiaOnlyBharat The courts have far better & more important things to do than pay attention to this ludicrous hyper nationalist nonsense. India fought with jinnah to RETAIN this name after partition. Now bhakts are touting jinnah's will! pic.twitter.com/fV8JzSFiQo

That's more important.
