Of Indian Constitution* in which 39 participants from different states participated and *Dr. R. K Gupta, Former Head & Associate Professor, Department of Pol Sc, RKSD College, Kaithal. Was the resource person, Dr. Vishnu Dutt, Principal, SDA Skt College, Ambala Cantt was the guest of honour and Dr. Anupama Arya, Principal, Arya Girls college, Ambala Cantt presided over.* Dept of Sanskrit initiated the discussion by raising the issue what does  "India that is Bharat" mean constitutionally, and for revolutionaries or common people who belong to the culture and tradition which exists between Himalaya & Hind Mahasaagar? Why to keep these two terms or names? What purpose does it serve and how mindset & behaviour of people has been influenced by both these terms  putting together in constitution? It is said that the nomenclature matters so the term 'India' represents British colony, used for business & market purpose based on exploitation & loot. The term ‘India’ is white man's burden... isn't it so? Whereas the term 'Bharat' means the people who are deeply involved in Prakaash (knowledge) and along with it many meaningful stories are attached to it which give a sense of belongingness to all those who live in the land between the Himalayas & Hind Mahaasaagar. So one needs to know what was weighing on the mind of constituent assembly members, what questions, answers were taken up & what discussion followed & on what grounds decision was taken to have two names for our country and how?... We need to decode this - 'Bharat is Maata' and 'India is Mandi (market)' so that the confusion and the conflict in the character & behaviour of people of this land and culture can be removed and transparency & sense of belongingness evolves in 1.25 bn people. We all need to decode how to bridge the gap in Bharat Mata and India as Mandi? This discussion will help the constitution to establish its cultural roots too. There are other issues related to impact evaluation, vision etc related to these two constitutional terms which were taken up during the discussion session in which Prof Jung Bahadur, Dr. Anita, Dr. Renuka, Dr. C K Jah, Dr. Vinay Singhal, Dr. Nitin, Dr. Ashok. Dr, Chanchal Sharma, Dr. Roopika Bhanot and others shared their views and raised meaningful question answers. Webinar concluded by the vote of thanx proposed by convener Dr.Shriom, head, dept of Pol Sc, RKSD College, Kaithal
