Can the terms 'India' and 'Bharat' be used interchangeably in official invitations

Yes, the terms 'India' and 'Bharat' can be used interchangeably in official invitations. Here are the reasons why: - The Constitution of India recognizes both 'India' and 'Bharat' as official names for the country. - Article 1 of the Constitution states that 'India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.' - The Supreme Court of India has ruled that there is no legal requirement to use one name over the other in official documents. - The use of 'India' or 'Bharat' in official invitations is a matter of preference or cultural significance. - Government of India websites and official documents often use both terms interchangeably. - Many official international documents, treaties, and agreements refer to the country as 'India,' indicating its global recognition. - However, it is important to ensure consistency in the use of the chosen name throughout the invitation to avoid confusion.
