Claim: The Supreme Court of India had ordered the Centre to rename India as 'Bharat' in all languages from 15 June 2021.
Fact-check: Supreme Court has not passed any judgement to rename India as 'Bharat' in all languages - FACTLY
Verdict: in may 2020, a writ petition was filed in the supreme court of india  to change the name of the country from india to 'bharat'. a bench headed by cji sa bobde had refused to pass any directions to amend the constitution for such name change. the supreme court had reiterated in their judgement that india is already called 'bharat' in the constitution. the supreme court had said that the writ petition should be treated as a representation and asked the centre to take a decision on it. supreme court hasn't passed any verdict in favour of renaming the country. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
