भारत सरकार (bhaarat sarkaar)

noun A fixed compound noun meaning 'Government of India' -- the formal name of the national government, seen constantly on official documents, notices, and letterheads.
Sense 1 : the Government of India (the national/central government as an institution)
noun, feminine
Synonyms: केंद्र सरकार (kendr sarkaar, 'central government', emphasizes federal vs. state contrast), केंद्रीय सरकार (kendriiy sarkaar, 'central government')
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You will see भारत सरकार (bhaarat sarkaar) stamped on passports, official letterheads, railway announcements, and public sector company names (like Bharat Sanchar Nigam under भारत सरकार). It contrasts with राज्य सरकार (raajy sarkaar, 'state government') -- for example, दिल्ली सरकार (dillii sarkaar, 'Delhi government') runs the city while भारत सरकार runs the country, and both terms appear side by side constantly in Indian civic life, on everything from tax notices to road signs.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes translate word-by-word as 'India government' with भारत (bhaarat) as a loose modifier; it is a fixed official compound, always in this order, and functions as a single proper-noun-like unit -- not a phrase you can rearrange or insert words into. 2) Note it names the institution/administration, not the country or the abstract concept of 'government' in general -- for the latter, सरकार (sarkaar) alone is used.
