# bharat vs india (names)

*Ordinarily means:* the contrast drawn between India's two constitutional names, used to set a rooted, rural image of the nation against an anglicised, urban one

A collective self that divides into an in-group and an out-group by its two names, each name read as belonging to different members.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [collective self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-collective-self.shared), [boundary](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-boundary.limit), [name](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-name.identifier), [in-group](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-in-group.inside), [out-group](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-out-group.outside), [difference](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-difference.relation), [division](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-division.process), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [belonging](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-belonging.member), [member](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-member.social)

**Through:** A nation with two names can read each as a different self; which name members use is then read as a mark of which pole they belong to.

**Novel properties:**
- two names read as two selves
- a naming choice made a boundary

## Examples
- Article 1 of the Constitution of India states: 'India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.' *(politics)*
