Aryavart To Bharat, and Now India. Heritage of Rishis and Maharishis keeps falling down to a mere Landmass. Losing even our actual names and being called by the names given by those who destroyed us, is something beyond tolerance. Hence, ancient names call to be reclaimed.

UP Cheif Minister Sanyasi Yogi Adityanath Ji has appealed to rename Hyderabad back to Bhagyanagar. He is rightfully in saying so since Haidar has nothing to do with the city of Chalukyas. A city, called by the name of those who plundered it, is a clear insult to its heritage.
Islamic Invaders, Colonists and foreign powers renamed the Bhartiya cities, to boast their dominance. Every time we utter their names, we repeat in our minds, the fact of still being a slave. It's a subversion, which now has to be worked on.
This thread is a compilation of all such Cities. Those were named after Invaders & Foreign rulers. Which now should be changed. Every Hindu, need to know these names forced upon us along with their history, which has to be revived. For us to walk proudly holding our heads high.
Karnavati was ruled by Great Hindu Kings Like Karandev 1 and later Vaghela Dynasty in the 13th Century. Faced many invasions since the 14th Century. And was named Ahmedabad by Sultan Ahmed Shah in 1411 A.D.
The Ellora Town was developed and possess traces back to 50 BCE-900 AD. With astonishing monuments by Hindu, Jain and Buddhists. In 1653 Jihadi Price Aurangazeb named this city after his name as Aurangabad.
Demolishing Hindu temples, Charminar was Constructed in 1591 CE. Tormented by the Jihadis, local Hindus constructed a small temple of Mahalaxmi, which later became Bhagyalaxmi Temple. Renaming the town as Bhagya Nagar is something which can wash the Jihadi History Of Hyderabad.
The Real name of Osmanabad was Dharashiv, named after Dharasurmardini Temple. It has a great significance since King Ram Spend days here during Exile. It was renamed to Osmanabad by Nizam Osman Ali. The same traitor who mourned the Independence from the British during 1947.
Pataliputra, One of the oldest populated city. Originally built by Magadh Ruler, Ajatshatru in 490 BCE. After many attacks and plunders by Mughal, it was mutated into Patna.
The original name being Indur, origin Indrapura founded during the reign of Rashtrakuta ruler Indra 3. Was named Nizamabad after Nizam's dominion was recognized by the British.
Edlawada flourished during Rashtrakuta Regime. Adilabad derives its name from the lineage of Invaders, Adil Shah of Bijapur. A newly created Adil Shah, hold in itself a brutal history of Plunder, Rape and tortures by Invader Mohammad Adil Shah.
The city established by Pandavas, under the guidance of Bhagwan Krishna. Went through many invasion, many plunder, wars. Remaining the capital to many empires, went through many names from Dehhli, Dhilli to finally today bein called as Delhi, the word having a Persian origin.
Formerly Known as Rukmammapet, Palamoor. The name was changed to Mahabubnagar on 4th December 1890 in the honor of Barbarian Mir Mahbub Ali Khan Asaf Jah. Before Jihadi Mahbub's Invasion, the city was known for Milk Sellers. Hence has a name Palamoor.
There are uncountable names given to us by those who invaded us. Here I have tried to cover the few been in trend lately. All of such names, remind us of our failure and keep eroding those wounds, every time the name is uttered.
A city named after an invader who plundered raped the locals is the dirtiest Blotch on any civilization. It kills the sense of self-esteem any civilization needs to thrive. Yet this issue is least bothered about. Time for Hindus to take cognizance and revive their lost glory.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
