At a time when our country is witnessing rising agrarian distress and unemployment, crores still live without a roof on their head . Name changing seems to be a mere gimmick to deflect attention from the real issues. 1/2

Fail to understand what purpose would it achieve? Will it help in alleviating poverty or addressing inflation? Instead attempts are being made to distort history. 2/2
