The United Nations (UN) will change India's name to Bharat in its records once New Delhi completes all necessary processes, a spokesperson for the intergovernmental organization told NDTV. On Thursday, the organization also said that it considers requests from countries to change their names as and when it receives them, citing the example of Turkey changing its name to "Turkiye" in 2022.
