there is a river originally called sindhu

by the persians it was called hindu

by the greeks it was called indos

and then in latin it was called indus

and from there we get india

now the river is called the indus river

British named Bharat as India as they used to do busines via east India company from Kolkata and during those days some 500 years ago British used to farming Indigo ,a colour plants with the help of local people by torturing them ,So from Indigo actually INDIA was named .

Many people wrongly assume that the name "India" was given by the invading muslim imperialists (mughals) but the name "India" was actually in vogue at the time of Ashoka the Great (who was alive centuries before Islam even started). Before Islam was even invented by the arab warlords, the Romans (whom we had great commercial links with) also referred to us as India and Hindustan. However India is only one of many names - "Bharat", "Hindusthan" and "Arya Vartha" are also names of India.

In olden days civilisations prospered along the rivers. Sind is one of the greatest river and it had a very good civilisation. People of this locations were called Sinds, which got corrupted to Indis and from there the name of the country to India.
