Rename Shimla as 'Shyamla': VHP to Himachal govt
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday submitted a memorandum to the Himachal Pradesh government asking it to change the name of Shimla to 'Shyamla'. VHP justified the move as a need to shun British legacies, calling it a sign of slavery. They also requested renaming of other cities, including Dalhousie to Subhash Nagar after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
