Should Pakistan change the Hindu name of 'Lahore'?

[Riyad]

Lahore is called city of Lord Rama's son Lava like Madina is called city of Prophet Muhammad.

Bangladesh is secular country. So here we don't have problem with Dhaka which is called city of Goddess Dhakeshwari but Pakistan is Islamic republic. I guess you people must have problem with the name of Lahore.

A mythological legend, based on oral traditions, states that Lahore was named after Lava, son of the Hindu god Rama, who supposedly founded the city. To this day, the Lahore Fort has a vacant temple dedicated to Lava (also pronounced Loh, hence "Loh-awar" or The Fort of Loh).

Never heard of this idol, and seems the idol is fictional (as in does not exist in actual Hindu mythology).

I have a more serious problem with colonial era names like Jacob-abad.

Historic place names are often deceptive. My country's second largest city is called the, "City of Angels" and despite it's beautiful appearance..........I can assure you it's not.

Then you should consult a psychiatrist.

Absolutely. I lived in the LA basin for several years and skied at Big Bear every winter! There are several ski resorts and you can ski during the day then drive back down into the city by afternoon and play golf!
