Why are Indians posing this question to a Brit. Read ancient Sanskrit texts - the Ved, Puranas, Shaiv etc and the answer will be obvious.
Which one?
उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् ।
वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संततिः ।।
“The country (varṣam) that lies north of the (Indian) ocean and south of the snowy mountains (Himalayas) is called Bhāratam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata
ततश्च भारतं वर्षमेतल्लोकेषुगीयते
भरताय यत: पित्रा दत्तं प्रतिष्ठिता वनम (विष्णु पुराण, २,१,३२)
This country is known as Bharatavarsha since the times the father entrusted the kingdom to the son Bharata and he himself went to the forest for ascetic practices.
Which country?
हिमालयं समारभ्य यावत् इन्दु सरोवरम् | तं देवनिर्मितं देशं हिंदुस्थानं प्रचक्षते ||
Now even history is political parties mess created by them. Trade , contact
Between people name change doesn't mattered .
