No, the idea is name it with wrong Republic spelling, and run a disclaimer on first day saying "Any resemblence to th word Republic is purely co incidental"!!! Bollywood style..
Absolutly .. And also atlast Republic is just a english word for the meaning of "Government by the people" whats wrong in this :huh if AG named is channel "Republic India" means that might be the pblm (eventhough i dont think itz wrong) coz India news , News India , India 24*7 etc... Then why not Republic India as channel name :huh .. IMO , Ministry of IB will tear his letter and throw to his face if politics will not play means else SC of India is there for AG ) ..
