The reason for changing the name of the location should be valid. Secondly, if there is a greater public opinion in favour of chaning the name of the location, it is advantageous. Thirdly, is there any historical, cultural importance to the new name? Fourthyly you have to make a strong media impact by writing articles in newspapers, radio announcements, and telecasts. Lastly, the local Municipal/City council is the authority to change the name on the basis of your petition.

I am against that because it would hurt the history makers. Everyone will forget what they did for the nation and in my honest opinion that is wrong
