Another step of beating the drum of own culture and forgeting other necessary works that are needed to improve average Indian life. Day is not far when each city in the country will shout at full lungs to change their names to some name picked from history. Ask these fanatics who pays for the expences because of all this crap.
Mumbai started it and it wont take time when Mujaffarpur will change its name.
Either there is no work left for Indian people or politician or they want to avoid all necessary work and do this.
