After Allahabad, Hindu right wants Muzaffarnagar renamed Laxminagar

[Chakar The Great]

Days after the Uttar Pradesh government changed the name of historic Indian city Allahabad to Prayagraj, the Hindu right now wants Muzaffarnagar renamed Laxminagar, Times of India reported on Saturday.



Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Agarwal, who hails from the city, asserted that the Mughals had changed the name of Laxminagar to Muzaffarnagar. He said he had approached Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on this account last year.



“It is not a new demand. In 1983, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) sought the name change. It’s no longer the Mughal rule, so why should we keep their legacy here,” Agarwal told the publication.



The Bajrang Dal, which has been using the name Laxminagar in banners and hoardings, has now started organising events in rural areas to ‘raise awareness’.

“The region was called Laxmingar some 2,000 years ago. We have been making efforts for the name change for many years,” Bajrang Dal convener Ankur Rana said.

Ajay Pal Singh, who heads the history department at a local college, said he had no knowledge of the district boasting an ‘ancient name’.

How trouble for India, it was laxminager 2000 years ago. This city will get real identity. Sometimes you should try to think without bringing religion 24 hour every time.

India, Hindustan & Bharat are already official names of India. There is nothing to rename.

But Dehli should be renamed as Hastinapur.

When will Bollywood Mainstream the new names?

Hastina (means Elephant) + Puram (means city) = Hastinapur (means City of Elephants)

Watch Mahabharat and you would see this name used in the dialogues all the time.

Irrelevant. Historically, Elephants were part of Indian armies and Hastinapur has always been the most influencing with lot of Elephants.

You should make time to watch Mahabharata and learn your history instead of making time to troll here.

in that case, 10000 years ago it was probably called X, 5000 years it was called Y, 3000 years ago the civilisation was called Z, great logic!
