  • Allahabad: the Name Change That Killed My City's Soul - BBC News 11/8/18, 630 AM 'Why a Name Change Killed My City's Soul'
    Allahabad: The name change that killed my city's soul - BBC News 11/8/18, 630 AM 'Why a name change killed my city's soul' Ankit Srinivas Allahabad railway station is a major transport hub What is your name? Where are you from? This is how most introductions start in India. And my answer to the second question has always been Allahabad, the city of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. But I won't be able to say that any longer because Allahabad has been renamed Prayagraj. Allahabad is in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, which is ruled by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
