External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said Bharat is a mindset which encapsulates all the changes that have been taking place in the country over the last few years.
He made this point when asked about the mainstreaming of the name during an interview with NDTV Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Pugalia.
“I consider Bharat a mindset, an approach,” Jaishankar emphasised in the course of the interview that followed the publication of his book ‘Why Bharat Matters’ (Rupa).
“What I think is, in terms of culture, self-confidence, delivery, our way of thinking, if you count it all, then if we have to describe the concept in short, the word Bharat conveys the message,” the minister and veteran diplomat said.
