India changing its name to Bharat because the name India was given by colonials, not natives.

Similar to China calling the capital Beijing instead of Peking.
India already has changed the names of cities back to their Sanskit forms (Mumbai instead of Bombay). 

I actually think one other huge reason the Indian /Bharati government wants to change it is so that they can assign blame for losing the war with Pakistan (they broke off from India in the war) to a completely different country. heh 

Hindus can often be unbelievably petty about ego things and humiliation - so that would be a good way for the current government to separate itself from past failures.
