In this segment, host Sowjanya takes listeners through the history of India and why it is called "Bharat". 

The name "Bharat" holds deep cultural and historical significance in India. It traces back to ancient scriptures and mythology, specifically from the revered Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata. According to Hindu mythology, Bharat was a legendary emperor and an ancestor of the Pandavas. His reign was considered a golden era of righteousness and prosperity. The term "Bharatvarsha" or "Bharat" was used to denote the region ruled by King Bharat, encompassing present-day India and beyond. Over time, "Bharat" became synonymous with the Indian subcontinent in various texts and scriptures. It reflects a sense of heritage, pride, and continuity with the ancient past, serving as a reminder of India's historical legacy, diverse cultures, and the enduring spirit of its people.
