The above statement is True.
India and Bharat are two phrases we frequently use to describe our nation. The word India comes from the Indus river. The Indus, known in Sanskrit as Sindhu, is where the word India originated. Iranians and Greeks who travelled to India around 2500 years ago called the Indus River the Hindus or the Indus; the region east of the river was known as India. A group of people who lived in the northwest were referred to as the Bharata in the Rigveda, the oldest work in Sanskrit (dating from about 3500 years ago).
