Shakespeare was wrong about names !!!!!!

The great english poet and play writer William Shakespeare seems wrong when he told "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet".

Name change emerged as trend of day whether it’s a extra K in name of some cinestar or changing name of Amethi to Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Nagar or hell number of Gandhi named schemes (Yet I am great admirer of Rahul Gandhi because of his will to understand grass level truth about India before taking Reign), hearing news that Kerala is getting renamed as Keralam ,Madras got changed to Chennai , Bombay got changed to Mumbai,Kalicut became Kozhikode.I am just waiting cross fingered when Lucknow will be renamed as Nukhloow or Awadh .

Does our government is not having any other serious business to do other than changing names of established institutions???

What is the gain of aam aadmi in these name gimmicks???? People are still not getting medicines in government hospitals, people are still getting slaughtered in train and plain accidents, pregnant ladies in villages losing their life in way on bumpy roads before reaching to hospital, government teachers are busy in making strategies for promotions n Dharnas rather than concerning about single digit pass result, poor villagers are forced to pick guns against security forces instead of plugging their fields and common man is cursing government without trying to identify root of their plights.

Do we really have luxury of spending crores of Rupees on name change only so that we can butter some influential family or can target some particular caste vote???Should we not spend money first for basic amenities for every Indian???

The purpose of naming various social schemes, institutions, bridges, district and airports was , to keep reminds us about the local culture, local personalities and the eminent personalities in that field so that they can motivate coming generations but why we should change name of existing establishments whish cost in millions to Indian Tax payers.

Just do a google by ‘ number of rajiv gandhi scheme ‘ and you will get n number of schemes starting from RAJIV GANDHI UDYAMI MITRA YOJANA (I would have love it as Jamshed Ji Tata or Dhirubhai Ambani UDYAMI MITRA YOJANA) , Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (I would have love it as APJ Abdul Kalam or Aryabhata or Har Gobind Khorana Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya ) , Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (I would have as Vinoba Bhave Vidyutikaran Yojana) , RAJIV GANDHI SHILPI SWASTHYA BIMA YOJANA and there are thousands of others on same name pattern. It seems like whole India was developed by one family only and there is no other son of Land who worked for India.

Our next generation will come and ask , is there any other contributor in shaping Modern India other than Respected Gandhis and Baba Saheb Bhim Saheb Ambedekar .I understand and salute the contribution of Gandhis and Baba Sahebs but is it wise to suppress the contributions of other sons and daughters of India????

Do next generation will be able to know who was Chandra Shekar Ajad ,Bhagat Singh ,APJ Abdul Kalam,Vinoba Bhave , Dr. Jayant Narlikar , Jayaprakash Narayan,Lal Bahadur Shastri,Ballabh Bhai Patel ,Baba Amte, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda?? Should we not give some place to these personalities when naming new establishments????

If we want to preserve a healthy history for our next generation, respect for past generation and motivation for current generation we need to acknowledge contributions of various personalities from different work areas and different parts of India.

We should not change the name of existing establishments as it costs millions of rupees to Indian Tax payers and even if we need to name new establishments it should be named keeping note of local culture, local personalities and the eminent personalities.
