Dear Renuka Prasad, I have a genuine doubt : Why is Free India called "Swatantra Bharat" and not "Mukta Bharat"? I have never heard the usage "Mukta Bharat". There could be proper reasons for this choice (which I am not knowledgeable at present).
You have posted a list of meaning for mukta : Loosened,let loose, unloosed, let loose, set free, quitted; relaxed;-discharged, shed thrown, cast, shot;- abandoned, quitted, left, put off, laid aside; (ended) given up;- released, liberated,emancipated, ( from transmigration,personal existence, requiring freedom, etc ); to be emancipated, requiring freedom ( from worldly existence etc ) Loosened,let loose,set free,quitted; released,liberated,emancipated, discharged as a weapon You have also posted the meaning of Swatantra and Swaatantrya : self dependence,self-reliant, independent,* free absolute*, self-willed,unrestrained, unruly, libertine.. no longer subject to parents, of age. independence, etc. the power of following one's own will, freedom of will, independence free will.. Mukta has meanings like :Loosened, let loose, unloosed, let loose, set free, quitted; relaxed;-discharged, shed thrown, cast, shot;- abandoned, quitted, left, put off, laid aside, given up etc. which are not synonyms of freedom. That is the reason why the usage of Mukta might confuse the reader. Take my case: I am not a language expert. I have heard mukta in relation with the 'atma concept - that is freedom from wordly existence'. But Swatantra will never confuse me. This is my personal opinion, may be wrong, result of my ignorance for I am not a language expert. I guess, both these words are of Sanskrit origin. IMHO, the correct approach is to take the advice of a language expert on which word is *"more apt"*. I emphasised on *"more apt"* because it might exactly be the reason for using "Swatantra Bharat" instead of "Mukta Bharat". Please consider it. Thanks, Roopesh
