Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Yes Indus is mostly in Pakistan
No there isn't literally anyone who wants to change the name to India.
It would be like USA changing its name to USSR because the soviet union collapsed.
As funny as this is, I'm pretty sure it was an overhyped article because of the G20 invitation. I highly doubt Modi would willingly throw away all the clout from stuff like the Indian Ocean or Indian Plate just to appease some BJP people.
It would be more like Mexico claiming the name United States of America as Mexico's official name is United States of Mexico, yet Mexico is only a small part of the country.
