When Türkiye announced a name change, among the first things to update where the Twitter accounts associated with the government. This market is intended to (roughly) capture if the Indian government will begin to refer to itself using "Bharat" or "Bharata" soon.

This market resolves to YES if either of the following things happen to this twitter account:

  • The display name (currently PMO India) is changed to refer to Bharat/Bharata as the primary name. For example PMO Bharat (aka India) would count, PMO India (aka Bharat) would not.

  • The username (current @PMOIndia) is changed to refer to Bharat as the primary name. For example, @PMOBharat would count.

If the names are given approximately equal stature, I'll defer to the one that appears first (ie, PMO India/Bharat resolves NO, PMO Bharat/India resolves YES).

I will be relatively lenient to other spellings, as long as it clearly refers to the sanskrit word भारत (I don't speak sanskrit so will defer to media consensus).
