Bhopal Shatabdi: chalti hai ek dum hawa ke mafik, speed aisi ke ruka de traffic - Varun

I was just clearing the login history to take a break from the usual chaos on this site. It's a rabbit-hole. But your reply caught my attention, so, here's one last comment before logging out.

Everything is named nowadays without a proper underlying meaning. So, it's probably just another thing come up instantaneously in an oration and since it's from You-Know-Who, it was accepted unanimously. It works, as it still makes sense if you want it to.

Then came the naming mania. Vande Metro, what does that even means. Amrit Bharat, just because you've something else going on with the same name. RapidX changed to Namo Bharat at the last moment. Then came the ultimate amalgamation, Namo Bharat and the once discarded RapidX, to create the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail. Because innovation, you know.

About the term 'Bharatvarsh', for who don't know, it is derived from the great king Bharat. The BJP-RSS people should know it better than anyone else, because the textbooks we got in the 'Saraswati Shishu Mandir' had his 'counting a lion's teeth' illustration on all the books, along with his tales. But everyone is just a WhatsApp forward mouthpiece nowadays, so can't even expect that much.

The current concept of 'Bharat Mata' was just to have an ideation of a country during the independence movement and doesn't hold any historical importance per se. It's essentially inspired by the motherland concepts of the European countries, like Germania, Mother Revolution and Mother Russia.

Everyone knows what the word Namo means here, everyone has been through the campaigns a decade ago. Even the ones citing 'reasons' for it know the truth. This is what you need to resort to when you know that once the PR is over, the upcoming generations will know how badly you messed up the utopian dreams you once showed everyone.

P.S. People trying to accuse me with their faux-nationalism, do you have something like this at your homes? Or do you even know what does this portrait represent in the first place?
