UP government restoring name Prayagraj for Allahabad

Kashmir Times. Dated: 10/22/2018 3:02:47 PM

Dear Editor,
UP Chief Minister deserves all compliments to break walls of pseudo-secularism by restoring name of Prayagraj for Allahabad. Mughal emperors had given such changed names to many cities of historical importance even from Ramayana-era. Yogi Adityanath should order study of all such changed names in the state, and should restore original names to other cities as well.
Study should be made about ‘Kanpur’ distorted from ‘Kanhapur’ and ‘Lucknow’ distorted from ‘Lakshmanpur’. It is a historic fact that Lucknow was established by Lakshman, brother of Lord Rama like even Pakistan government acknowledging the fact that Lahore was established by Luv, elder son of Lord Rama.
