Real name is Bharat only and people should not be ashamed of it!

It is other way around. In Sanskrit "Desh" means particular country - chunk of land. Bharat is the real name and it got the name "India" with the advent of Europeans' invasion to India. India derives from the "Indus" - Indus is the corruption of the Sanskrit word "Sindhu" - Sindhu is the river which originates in Himalaya and flows through Bharat - Today's Pakistan which was originally a part of "Bharat".
