India, appraisal

భారత్ "India" in Telugu (one of the official India language, 88 million speakers).
பாரத "India" in Tamil (one of the official India language, 77 million speakers).

Is the above info correct? Should I register భారత్.net etc? Thanks.

India in Tamil is இந்தியா, .com regged in 2004. Seems to be a couple other ways but that is the main one.

Not sure if the Telugu is correct.

இந்தியா is transliteration of India in Tamil . Most commonly used.

The Indian Name for India in tamil is Bharatham (பாரதம்).
Bharatha (பாரத) is used to refer to India in a sentence but not as an individual word.
Example பாரத ரத்னா (Bharatha Ratna)
பாரத நாடு etc...
