Finally! We should refer to India as Bharat in English and languages which borrowed that name, and refer to Indians as Bharatians or whatever. Then Native Americans can be called Indians without the idiocy of “we called them by another nation's name by mistake five hundred years ago, and never bothered to fix it because we don't give a shit”.
