BJP wants 40 ‘Mughal’ villages renamed. But some of them are not Mughal at all - The Hindu

The Hindu  

The last few weeks have been all about dressing the past anew. Taking a cue from the Uttar Pradesh government’s penchant to rename townships after Hindutva mascots, the party wants 40 villages of ‘Mughal’ Delhi to be renamed. Asking Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to issue orders for renaming the villages, Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta said, “Delhi is no longer Mughalon ki sarai but the capital of the country. They want their villages to be known after the great sons of the country and eminent personalities.” Among the “symbols of slavery” Gupta wants renamed are such upmarket places as Saidul Ajaib, Yusuf Sarai, Hauz Khas, Sheikh Sarai, Mohammadpur and Masjid Moth, besides Hasanpur, Nangloi, Neb Sarai, Rasulpur, Nasirpur and so on. Gupta also proposed the names of 27 police officers besides eminent singers, sportspersons, defence personnel and freedom fighters for these urban villages, giving the names of constable Ratan Lal, IB officer Ankit Sharma, inspector Mohan Chand Sharma besides former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Captain Vikram Batra, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Lata Mangeshkar and Milkha Singh, etc.
